 Every single day at work on my break a woman tries to give me candy. She knows I don't eat sweets, but she just won't stop. It's starting to bother me. I don't ever want to be cought in a weak moment. I don't want to be

  My Husband unloaded the clothes dryer last night and when he folded my jeans said "ha, They look like little kid clothes". It made me so happy.

I've been going to a Bariatric support group at St. Luke's hospital . The RD there has a website with a lot of great recipes. It's at, insidekarenskitchen.com   She is doing a cooking class for us next month and I'm real

I went for a bone density test and mammogram yesterday. They measured my height. I've always measured 5'2". But I measured 5'2.5". Maybe without the extra weight I can stand up a little straighter? Anyone else have this h

 I've been trying to reach 136 pounds for about 2 weeks now. It's the most I can weigh and be in the normal BMI range. Today I stepped on the scale and it read 135.5. I'm hoping to reach 125.

  My husband and I went shopping the other day. We usually go to different areas of the store and then meet back up. After a while I spotted him, so I walk right up to him, he's looking a little annoyed trying to look aro

   Just came back from a short vacation with my husband. I was unable to weigh for four days. I ate as close to my normal way of eating as I could, but still nervous about weighing this morning. I lost 2 pounds, woo hoo.

I'm on vacation this week with my husband. I just came back from the hot tub. I realized I can now sit in there without holding on to the side. I sink right down to the seat instead of floating away. Weird how everything

 Hi Monique, Sorry I tried to respond to your post privately, but it kept deleting when I tried to send it. So here is what I do almost daily, so unless I veer from this I don't count calories everyday ( I counted it up

      I've been waiting to see my first big goal of 144 pounds..which is half of my highest weight ever (288) I weighed in this morning and it said 143.5, so I missed seeing  the 144 on the scale. I

     The idea of plastic surgery is kind of new to me, so I don't know a lot. Does a Panniculectomy only take care of the skin below the belly button or the upper part (muffin top) as well? Thanks in advance

 I weighed in this morning, I'm at 149.5. I made it into the 140's (just barely but still) That's 62.5 since my vsg surgery Dec 2nd. I looked back at an old notebook where I was keeping track of my weight, 1 year and 11

Has anyone tried protein chips?  Are they any good or just junk food?

I'm just about 7 weeks out from surgery and doing well, but getting sick of the chewable vitamins. How long until we can take regular vitamins? I'm supposed to chew 4 per day but I sometimes can't make myself take that la

I'm 4 weeks out today and down 24 lbs. Super excited and surprised. Starting to feel closer to normal. Getting closer to my protein goals every day. Getting in water and enough protein feels like a full time job. <

I went to my 1 week post op appt. yesterday. I told them what a hard time I was having trying to get in enough water and protein. After listening to my symptoms they realized that I wasn't given a prescription for antaci

 I stepped on the scale today and it said 199. I had surgery the 2nd weighing 212 and by today the 8th I,m 199. I knew that at my highest weight of 288 it could come off fast,but

Had my surgery on Wednesday. That first day wasn't much fun, but by that evening I couldn't  believe how good I felt. The only trouble I've had was a little nausea when drinking cold liquids. I switched to semi hot and I'
