I am down to 131 lbs and continue to lose. My face and neck are way to skinny and I am starting to look unhealthy. I am not trying to lose anymore weight, it just continues to come off. Do you think if I started to take a weight gainer powder that this will be ok? I dont want to resort to unhealthy foods to gain weight, but something needs to happen, my girlfriend says that she Im so skinny that she can see through me....lol...anyways, any suggestions?

So congrats to me I am at 133 lbs. When I started my journey, 11 months ago, my goal I set was 160. After I hit 160 I set another goal of 150 then 140 then 135. Ok, Im done setting goals, and to be hones with you I havnt been trying to lose weight, its just been coming off on its own, since 150 lbs. Im not bragging, im concerned, about my health. I dont want to be one of those people who keep loseing weight I wear a small shirt and size 32 pants in mens, I thing I look but my partner says Im looking to thin and not healthy. She tells me to eat more, and I cant, I tell her if I eat more I will stretch my stomach out. Do any of you have any clue on how to maintain without loseing and without going back to bad habits to try to gain. HELP 

I AM AT GOAL WEIGHT OF 140 LBS, NOW ITS TIME TO SET ANOTHER GOAL.

I am down to 142 lbs. It was only 9 months ago that I started my new adventure with weight lose surgery. A lose of 88 lbs in nine months is awesome. My personal goal before surgery was 160 or 155 or so, I chose that goal because I knew I could get there and I didnt want to disappoint myself for choosing a larger goal and not being able to reach it- I didnt want to feel like a failur again.  However, along my journey and seeing my weight change, my looks change, and the feeling I get when I exercise or run, I chose another goal of 140 lbs. Now that I am 2 lbs away from that goal I feel that I can keep going, maybe to 125-130. Im only 5'2 I feel that for me to be at the weight of 130 lbs, works best for my body type. I have learned how to eat, manage my meals, drink my water, I have learned to love the gym all over again, love life. I was hoping for more energy, but I havnt noticed anymore energy, however, I have more motivation to get up off my ass and do something. I know that this surgery is a tool to get back on track, eating right, exercise, goes hand in hand. What Im saying is that once you lose the weight dont stop your activity, keep going to the gym, keep up your physical activities, your journey isnt over, movement, exercise is key to keeping the weight off. I have met to many ppl who are looking for a way out AGAIN, who have already had WLS, got back into there old habits and are now suffering the consequences. It just creeps back up like it did in the past and then your at back to gaining your weight. I have learned to weigh myself 3-4 times a month, that ways you know if you are gaining any  weight back, and you have you catch it in enough time that you can do something about it.  WLS is an adventure and a Journey, but you have assist the surgery and do your part by eating healthy, exercising, and enjoying your new life while having fun.

As of today I have lost a total weight amount of 80 lbs!I am at 150 lbs and can't wait to get to my goal weight of 140 lbs. I had my 6 month check up yesterday and the nutritionist is very pleased with how well I have been doing with my food choices. She even got on to me for be to strict on my self with my food choices.  My weight lose has slowed down, but I have complete faith in my self and I am determined to get this last 10 lbs off.  I am only 7 months post op, I have accomplished a lot during these last  7 months. Most people dont even get to there goal until a year or so. With that being said, I am very thankful and blessed for having this procedure done and doing great without any complications. I did this for my mom who passed in 2007. I love you mom and would do anything to have you in my life again.

Ok, so as of today I am at 154 lbs. Lately I have been so consumed into myself, so much that I feel selfish. My mind goes 100 mph, I am always wondering if I am doing enough, am I eating healthy enough, and I doing enough at the gym? My mind is completly on myself.  My last posting I was at 163 lbs , so I am only down 9 lbs from my last posting. I go to the gym 3-5 times a week, I bust my ass off at the gym, I am even running on the treadmill, but It just doesnt seem to be enough. I dont know what else I could do. I am so happy for the weight that I have lost, but come on, I had this surgery to lose all my wieght no only76 lbs.

I am down to 163.68 so close to goal weight of 140. I started the gym 3 weeks ago, which when I started they took my measurements. Last week which was 3 weeks ago, I had them measured again. I lost 3% body fat and gained 3 lbs of muscle, I am so stoked. I try to get to the gym 3-5 times a week. I do my cardio in intervals and then I do weight training. I started running/ jogging on the treadmill which I haven't been able to do for years, However, I have Plantar Faciitis and Heel Spurs, they hurt like hell the next day. But so far I am overall happy with the weight lose, and the surgery. I am wearing a 36 pant size, in mens, I guess a 16/14 in womens, I only need to lose 23 more lbs, when I reach this goal I may want to switch up to a goal of 130, but we will see, I don't want to look malnurited.....lol...I want to look and feel healthy.

On my weight tracker I have switched my goal down to 135, I now have 48 lbs  to loose. Kinda bummed, because at first my goal was 155 so it only looked like I had 28 more lbs to loose until I reach my goal. Now that I have switched my goal, It feels like I am starting over. I know that I can get there, with a little bit time, and some exercise. I started walking in the evenings, and here in Colorado at the time of day we are like at 25 degrees, sometimes lower. I don't much like walking because I have plantar fascities which is very painful. But I know to finish this weight lose war, I know I have to start exercising. If anyone knows of any good splints for the foot, over the counter that is, let me know. I will try anything. Currently, I am taping my foot, however, I would like to start jogging, but the tape isn't that stable for me to start jogging.

I am down 44 lbs! It is an amazing feeling. I have about 30 lbs to reach my short term goal of 155 then I will work on another goal to reach 135.  I wish my mother was here to watch me go through this process. It is so important for me to succeed with these goals that I have set for myself. Before she passed away a year in a half ago I told her I was planning on getting WLS and she gave me her blessing. She actually said "don't get my like me". You see, my mother was overweight, diabetic, asthmatic,  she just had a lot of health problems that landed her in the hospital with an amputated leg do to the diabetes. She wanted me to get the weight off so I don't ever have to go what she went through, my mother was a blessing to everyone, she was sick and still helping ppl who were sick themselves. She just wouldn't stop helping ppl to take care of herself, and her end result was death. I know she doesn't care because she is in a better place and her crown is full of jewels. However, I would give my last breath just to see her one more time.

I was hoping that today I would reach my 40 lb half way mark, it didnt happen, but I am so very greatful for the weight I have lost. I know I will reach it my the 1st of the year and that will bring in the new year right! I am going out tonight and I do want a couple of drinks, I am thinking bloody marys, since there isnt much sugar in the drink. Any suggestions on any other alcohol beverage that would be bettter than the bloody  mary's. let me know, or should I just stay away from alcohol at this point?
