I need to lose weight for my back. Did the holidays sabotage me? 

Just now catching up and really loving seeing all your progress!

Glad some weight has come off. I hope you make progress for yourself and it helps your back!

Hey Sweet Lady, so sorry you're having to go thru so much at once. I've been there. Try to stay positive, celebrate each small victory and take things one at a time and try not to get too overwhelmed. You're in my prayers and I'm gonna be cheering you on over here in East Tennessee. ❤️❤️❤️

Doctors love to play that game of only giving you a little bit of information at a time. It's very frustrating and one of the reasons that I always make it a note when I'm in the hospital to read all of the notes on my account so I can ask questions about them later when I see the doctor again. I'm glad you're finding comfort in letting go of documenting your journey. I imagine not having that expectation on your shoulders that you need to do something because of your viewers just removes another burden of recovery and lets you work on your progress. I'm proud of you for being as positive as you have been through this process! I know it's a lot to get through - no major life change is easy, especially when it comes to your physical health. PS. Gracie is so sweet in this video! I love that she makes you so happy!

Congratulations on losing and maintaining through the holidays! It's so hard, with so much food being part of the celebrations. I'm glad that you're in an okay headspace about your progress and recovery with the back issues. I think you'll be able to get to a place where you're doing terrific and will look back on this as a time you struggled but overcame things. HAPPY NEW YEAR, KAREN! I miss you!!

I found the same thing when losing weight online. I started in 2015 sharing my weight and progress etc. After a few years I realized it wasn’t working for me anymore. This last year I’ve lost 60lbs and while I VLOGGED I didn’t document my weight. I did appreciate that when I gained weight in 2020/2021 my subscribers never mentioned it! Proud of you and your progress. I can’t imagine how hard this recovery has been on you mentally. Hoping for the best for you ❤

Great job on your loss. THe holidays are a killer for our attempts to be healthy and eat wisely.

I can't imagine what a difficult time you are going through emotionally and physically. Maintaining is excellent! 4 pounds per month is terrific! I would agree that talking about weight all the time is so hard and can make things worse! Confession - same shirt different day - I do that too!

❤such a hard thing..my knees are shot from carrying 510 pounds on my 5'4 frame for so many years..I also am hunched over as I walk..i had weight loss surgery so I took off 200 pounds..I feel better but I'm still 2x the weight I should be.. I have learned what foods I should be eating because of my weight loss surgery diet that I was on of course I don't stick with it which means I'm not anywhere near my goal weight that I should be but I just have to keep pushing forward you can do it too it just takes a little bit of determination I'll be praying for you
