Thanks Julie!  It is great getting the support I am from him.  He was against this process in the begining when I was researching and doing my initial appointments, but since the surgery- he has really gotten behind me.  He is always pushing me forward with it and I am really greatful for it!

Congrats Beth!!!!!!!  Watching that scale not move or bounce back and forth has to be THE most frustrating thing ever! Somedays I just want to throw mine at the wall! lol. Glad it is moving in the right direction for you and measure those inches!!

Thanks Lissa!  I know I should have done my measurements, but was bad and never did.  I kick myself when I can see visual changes, but the scale stays the same.  It would be nice to have those measurements as a positive picture things ARE working.

So- advice to all of you pre surgery....TAKE YOUR MEASUREMENTS!!!  A lot of times the scale doesn't move, but your body IS changing!!  Muscle is more dense than fat- but weighs the same, and the more muscle you build back up- the more fat your body can burn!!

Glad to hear about the move.   You just need a little patience with this thing. Once you are on the move hopefully it will be smooth sailing all the way down to your goal.

Hang in there, we are here
