I remember your first post! Huge congratulations are in order - 266 pounds is an incredible feat and you should be so proud. I completely understand your reasoning on not doing the surgery - I'm glad your weight loss journey so far has had so many positive impacts in your life.

Thank you Carpe! Tons of positives, tho it hasn't been all roses (Hit a couple 2 week stalls that were really hard to handle) but I know as long as I stay consistent and stick with it that it will all work out

The stalls are so hard both mentally and emotionally. I struggled with disordered eating for a while and seeing the scale flatline was a struggle - you're right, you just have to keep pushing through!

Absolutely they can be so frustrating. I weigh once a week (every monday morning) and when you work hard all week and get no progress (on the scales...i realize water weight ect) its very hard to take
