Am a retired Medical Laboratory Technician. And I taught urinalysis and Hematology. I felt like I was lasted up for promotions because of my weight. I had my Bariatric sleeve surgery on April 27 2021 after I retired. Now am at 140 down 80lbs. I had hight blood pressure and diabetes. Now am off all my medications. I retired at 62. Now am 65 and ready to start a new career. .
@@fidelojems8323 am working with Medicare and my insurance company now. Hope I will have skin removal surgery in July. I have keeper my weight off for 6 months now . Exercise in the pool Monday to Friday
I’m actually getting the gastric sleeve on the 1st of April and I’m so excited for it. I’ve tried so many diets, and it was disheartening to put so much work into eating good and exercising that week only to lose maybe 1-2kg. I think that’s part of the reason why I never stuck to it. With surgery I’ll have to change how I eat and even if I am going to be naughty, I won’t be able to eat anywhere close to what I used to. I’m over being fat/overweight. It’s so damn exhausting.
It went absolutely amazing! I’m only 12 days post op and I’ve already lost 7 kg! Surgery went good, no complications. Didn’t experience much overall pain, some discomfort and really had to learn the hard way that sipping was 100% necessary. But I’m feeling amazing. Only issue after 12 days of soups and now purées I’m absolutely over it! 😂 I miss actual food. Not even bad fast food, I’ve been craving a ham and cheese sandwich or eggs on toast!
I started crying right away hearing only aybe 10 minutes of this video. All these things are exactly how I feel and felt for years. I am having my sleeve surgery done May 3rd (4 n half days away) I can't wait to start the journey to feel better n to be able to do things that I haven't been able to do cuz of my weight. Thank you for the inspiration
I am crying! I want to run. I want to dance. I want to stop hurting. I’m schedule for July 21 and I can’t wait. I feel those things about my body and hit home when you mentioned just walking into a room to see if someone is larger or same size. I always compare myself to others seeing if I’m bigger so I could see myself from another persons eyes. I am so hard on myself mentally I have lost faith in my ability to ado anything. Don’t get me started on the running apps….. I’ve done them all and it hurt so bad it took me week to recover. Thank you for this.
Congrats to you!! I too am a vsg or Sleeve patient,, i , as of May 21, 20222, will be 7 years Post op.. i lost a 166 pounds kept it all off, i am age 63 i turn 64 in april.i came of f 2 ,Insulins, 3 Blood pressure meds.

Your early emotional pre-surgery video struck a chord with me. I’m in the middle of all the pre surgery tests and visits. I’m so glad I found you on here. I feel much more confident in my decision now. Thank you!
This made me tear up when you were explaining your pros I want that so bad. I crave it. I’ve been so hesitant lately I am going through the steps for bypass surgery and I’ve been so back and forth but watching this was a breath of fresh air. Thank you for your honesty.
This video is so powerful and is 100% me. As a woman, as an educator, the struggles with mental health and my own self-image were all consuming. Thank you for this.
Literally felt like I could be talking... thank you for voicing so much and sharing your journey. Not sure if my journey will include VSG but I feel much more prepared with my decision either way. So many applicable tidbits that I took away from this for right now. You are absolutely glowing now and it definitely suits you. Shine on girlie! And, thank you, for speaking straight to my heart.
I could have made this video word for word. I have a masters degree in social work and did therapy for years helping people to make changes in their lives and feel like such an imposter for not being able to do this on my own!
I'm so happy I found your channel. Your personality, sense of humor and REALNESS is refreshing. I want to have Gastric Sleeve but I'm really afraid of surgery. Currently just doing my research
You are a blessing. I have been out of my Gastric Sleeve surgery 8 days ago today. Those, hmm, sensations i would say about just grabbing a burger, a big chunk of meat, or a greasy slice of pizza and absolutely devouring it has been hitting me for the past two days. Luckily, however, family and friends around me have been quite supportive - no flashing out foods/drinks or anything i might crave in-front of me which is very nice of them. But, i feel that i'm at the hardest stage of it all, really. I've gotten a post-op appointment with my surgeon next Wednesday so we can get my first weight it and all of it, and i'm honestly pretty excited. -- Funny story, but also heartfelt thanks to you: I was nearing on a depressive state shy of 40 minutes ago before i found your video because i just want to taste something other than Water in my mouth and completely forgot what i have done this, and why am i on this journey. And, beyond done with those pains that just, hits, for no reason every now and then. Out of nowhere, here you pop up and within the duration of this video, the amount of positive energy, laughs, good-vibes you've dumped at me is uncanny. You've basically reminded my why i've done this in the first place, how amazing the outcome is going to be (You look absolutely stunning, by the way! Keep up the great vibes!!), and that this all will be temporary and things will get better - i will enjoy food again albeit in very small portions. -- On a serious note, thank you very much for this wonderful video and every other one you have made of which i'm going to binge-watch today. Thank you!
How are you feeling now? This comment makes me want to CRY. You WILL enjoy food again (I promise!) but also you are going to enjoy YOUR LIFE. Your body. Your energy! There is so much more good in this. I am SO proud of you!
Oh my goodness! You are living a lifestyle I wish we had but we're so far away! We did Topolino's for cocktails on the patio and I cannot WAIT to eat there!
I really appreciate your honesty. So much of this is stuff I haven't heard anywhere else and I have been watching everyone out there with a channel to do with weight loss surgery and all the surgeons with channels too. Thank you. It's important to be well prepared and know what you're getting yourself into.
I have been binge watching videos on the bariatric sleeve and its side effects, I am beginning the process now. I must say that yours are my favorite. it doesn't sound so scary and I love that you do the pros and cons both. this is no little undertaking I just wanted you to know that I really enjoy your videos and find them very helpful
Hello @maribethlineberry I too am just starting my journey, I would love a weight loss "buddy" for support. I have been reaching out to people on here, but don't quite understand the you tube messaging system yet. So if u would be interested plz let me know! Until then I will keep searching... You can help me thru all the UPS and downs and I can help you 🙂, let me know! Thabks
Thank You so much... Im so glad to have found you on here... I am 4 days post op with my gastric sleeve and I'm feeling sooooo YUK at this moment.... But i know this will pass and I can wait to get my life back... I too suffered years with bad depression and my weight always holding me back from being the person that I truly am... Thank you Again and you truly look stunning... I'm so happy for you 👍🙏
I'm just into the first few minutes on mindset change and I am sooo impressed with you, this is excellent on so many levels! Everyone in this camp, myself included, has dealt with these thoughts and feelings, but your candor and especially your ability to articulate is absolutely superior!
From my own experience I would recommend staying with a therapist if possible because you may start experiencing new types of emotions that will accompany your new lifestyle. The positive energy and attitude that you are expressing right now, hang onto it! Your positive energy will keep you soaring. I am so proud of you. Keep up the great work.
Thanks for sharing , ur not crazy everything u were feeling before surgery is what we feel as well . Congratulations on your journey !! ( watching ur video and my consultation is tomorow !! Now I feel exited and less nervous )
Looking forward to surgery for several reasons. I want off medications, have probably 12 I take, hbp, anxiety. My BMI is 35.1 , since turning 50 my life has changed. Been on so many diets, didn't really lose a lot and became discouraged to say the least. Need to lose for my heart and health. Love your videos so positive. Thank you
Oh thank you for this! I have never related to anyone more than you. The first 3 minutes of your video felt like you were speaking directly to me. I’m getting a surgery for my mental health more than my physical health.
Your spiel about diet coke, had me crying 🤣, I willl have to give up coffee 😭. I love this video it's very informative. I sent my package in yesterday to the Bariatric program here in Toronto, Canada. I hope to be approved so I can have the surgery. I'm in pain all the time, my feet and hands hurt from the effects of diabetes, i'm scared, I have a 2 year old that I need to live for. Pray for me y'all. 🙏
If other people are worried about or experiencing teeth issues post-bariatric surgery talk to your dentist early and often. Its not a fact of just brushing and flossing more, there are products out there to strengthen teeth and target them with restored vitamins and minerals. I talked to my dentist before I had the surgery about my concerns and she made recommendations. I use Tooth Mousse Plus daily (I'm in Australia), after brushing at night and leave it on. It has calcium, phosphate and extra fluoride which is applied directly to your teeth to strengthen your enamel and get that calcium in there.
Hi there I had to cancel my surgery last year due to my Wonderful Father-in-law being terminally ill! Having that said, he survived to our surprise until June 2022. We followed his wishes and had his ashes returned to his family home of Colorado. Now that I've gone from 208 lbs to 215 lbs I saw my RNP today for an updated referral. Considering the gastric sleeve surgery as soon as possible. On top of that I am slowly weaning off of Cymbalta (what a roller coaster ride its been for the past 2 weeks. I was looking for the "real deal" information on the surgery. I worked in the Medical-Clerical field, but never thought my weight/age would be so difficult to manage, etc. Your sweet disposition, and honest information has reminded me of both the pros and cons! Bless you for sharing! Looking forward to seeing your other videos ☺️ S. 🌺
@@BariTaleCoaching hi! I had the first appointment, so far so good. Can't wait to start. Your videos are so helpful, thanks for all the content and the knowledge you're spreading
Girl...I have been searching on utube for months......today 2w postop sleeve.......you are a breathe of fresh reality!!! I cant find a balance here w sleeve...sick of fluids.....yes i want to eat...started cheating w soft, creamy, melt in your mouth foods,.........havent burled yet but tonite i got so sick juat bad to ly on sofa not move and fell asleep....still feel fat....I am an end goal person tryi g to figure out how to manage all this.....Going to follow all your blogs. I too LOVE LOVE....dcoke from mcdonalds....ice cd...bubly...you know.....but i had pain prior to surgery....anyhow love your candid approach to this new reality. I am your newest Fan!!!
AHHHH Hi Tina! Girl, you are NOT alone. Embrace the fluids for now. Sure, this part is the psychological challenge, right? You want to chew, you might "feel" hunger, but break those cycles while you can! Being sick STINKS post-op (throwing up, dumping, etc.). The end goal is weight loss and your overall improved health. You can do this! When do purees begin for you?!
You are a peach! What a breath of fresh air for keeping it real, but not "scary!" I am contemplating the same surgery myself at this time, and plan to stalk your page now for more information and encouragement. Thank you!
I am 9 months post op and down almost 150lbs. I also suffer from psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Although I still have flare ups of arthritis (more so in my hands wrists and elbows), it is SO much better in my ankles and knees and like yourself, I haven’t had a single flare up of psoriasis since losing significant weight. Surgery is the best decision I have ever made ❤️
I’m thinking of started a weight loss surgery youtube myself. I wonder have you ever been diagnosed with copper deficiency. Right now I’m in the hospital and they say I will deal with this the rest of my life. I just wanna be like you and speak of pros and cons. I think we could do really well. God bless you and keep on talking!
Great video! I just had VSG 17 days ago, after blowing up to 280! I was done. I through in the towel and had my surgery one month later. I think this was possibly the best choice of my life. I know it has not even been 3 weeks yet but I am starting to feel amazing. It's very interesting because since the surgery, the food addiction seems to be completely gone and I just don't view it the same way. Fingers crossed this continues and I will be a success story like yours. Thank you for sharing your video!
@@BariTaleCoaching absolutely amazing. I 54 lbs down in 3 months. I just need to tighten up my body! I hope this works long term. I have a good feeling for sure
I'm so glad I've found you you have literally answered the last few questions I have before surgery thankyou so much for sharing I enjoy watching your videos your personality is AMAZING !!!
Awesome talk. Thanks for info. I'm worried about the diet coke too. I'm addicted. Why do they do this to us? I know I'll be better off without it. Having your energy will be worth every penny!
I’m really nervous but if everything goes according to plan I’ll have my surgery somewhere around the end of this year 2022 or in January 2023🥺. We’re all proud of you and I hope you remember to be proud of yourself too, it must get difficult sometimes.
Thankyou so much for making this video! I always have had troubles in following through with decisions because change brings me so much worries. I have found that nothing will get better unless I choose to do it. Currently, I am scheduled to have a vertical sleeve gastrectomy this December. Thankyou so much for the encouragement, it means the world.
@@BariTaleCoaching I did, it’s been 42 days since I had the surgery and right now i’ve already lost 40 pounds. I went into surgery at 320, 340 pounds at the highest, and now I am down to about 278 pounds.
It's nice that you mentioned that this surgery helped you with anxiety. I get panic attacks if i start a diet and i don't eat dugar. I'm afraid i would get them after the surgery too 😢
Hey Anne! This is SO relatable. You can still have sugar, just in small amounts! I have a free Masterclass that leads into a Mindset course if you want to attend! chelsea-craig.mykajabi.com/masterclass Let me know if you enroll, ok? (It's Free!)
Woman you rock. I love love love your energy and lightness , you made this video easier to watch all the wayto the end and I never do that lol. I am just like you. I have a surgery date October 9, 2023 . I can't wait to shed this mess off of me . Congratulations on your success. Loves and Hugs...
I weighed about 246 when I started for the 6 months of proving that I could lose the weight to Medicaid. My highest weight was 265, but I dropped that 19 lbs in like a month by changing my eating habits. I’m now at 230 while on the liver shrinking diet. December 30, 2022 is my surgery date and I can’t wait. I don’t think my sleep will improve when I drop the weight, I used to be really skinny and on sleeping meds as a kid so I doubt that will change now.
I cried listening to your story. The constant dialogue in my head that is focused on my weight is exhausting. It consumes every thought, no matter what I do. Since the pandemic started, it has gotten worse and affects me as a mother, as a wife, as a person
Your video has offered a wealth of information. I’m at the beginning of the process of deciding what route to take. My consultant is set for this upcoming August. The stacked appointments January 2023. I could connect with nearly every word spoke in this video. I’m more tired of weight being an issue than I am scared to move forward taking back my health. New Subbie
I have booked today for a gastric sleeve in July so I'm very frightened going to a different country on my own. But for the mental and health benefits I've realised it's the best decision for me. I'm tired of dieting and spending money on fads to loose weight this is extreme but I see absolutely no other way. I want to enjoy life and enjoy being in photographs with my children.
Where are you traveling to for surgery? This isn't as extreme as you think it might be! You are going to be so happy! It's time to be brave, beautiful mama!
I love your energy and oh my gosh, I relate to so many of your comments. My size has ruled my mind. I feel undeserving of good things and have felt like I wasn’t enough. A feeling cemented in a marriage that was unfulfilling. Although it was painful to end a marriage, I am taking the opportunity now to focus on me, finally! Today I had my first appointment with my dietician. My Rheumatologist has fully supported this decision because inflammation is out of control. My PC was happy to support my decision as well and said my life can be so different in a year. I am so scared about having the sleeve surgery but thinking of being on the other side of surgery feels exciting. Thank you for being open and sharing your experience. As soon as you mentioned how hard it was to give up Diet Coke, I knew I could trust you! Lol!
Ann, you are already an inspiration! Don't be scared (easier said than done, I know), but what is ahead of you is SO MUCH JOY! I still miss Diet Coke every day!
I am at minute 5 and I’m crying 😭, I’m in the process of getting vsg been in process for 5 months and just have a few appointments left before I can schedule my surgery date , but you are talking to my heart. That over thinking , the time and space that is consumed in my brain by thoughts of being overweight . I’m doing this to free myself too 😭 okay back to the video!
Thank you so much for sharing all of this!! I am scheduled for my VSG in March, and while I’m obviously very excited for all the positive changes to come, I’m glad to know the negatives too. Your videos have honestly been so helpful, and I really appreciate your transparency! ❤️
@@elizabethbare3195 It went great!! I had my VSG on the 11th, and I’m feeling awesome! Already down 22lbs, and I’m almost off the post op/soft food diet now. Thanks for asking!
@@elizabethbare3195 This was only my second time being put under for a procedure, and it was no big deal. I was mostly just really drowsy afterwards. My doctors and anesthesiologist were great, and let me know what to expect too.
This un exactly how I feel about my body, I’m in anxiety med and antidepressants, I hate myself because I gain so much weight and I just can’t lose by myself, today I had my first visit with my bariatric surgeon 5 months to go and some steps to complete my insurance approval
Thank you for adding your authentic flair to the community! It is a journey not a straight line and a self discovery journey for sure! Best wishes to you always!
Found you this evening and am really enjoying your content. I’m scheduled for VSG in July. I’ve had years of therapy but I know things will trigger me so am back in therapy. Mental health is key.
I'm starting my journey now. I have my psych eval tomorrow and see the nutritionist next week. Insurance doesn't pay so it's out of pocket unfortunately
Great summary! I’m almost 4 months post surgery and enjoying the journey. Your initial videos helped sway my decision - thank you! And I’m looking forward to NSVs at Disney (I’m looking at you, Flight of Passage seat!).
I'm so glad i found this video... I'm listening to your pros when you said you felt stupid, I know what you mean. I am on my weight loss journey, I will be having gastric bypass soon. I'm excited about it, I'm not afraid at all. Seeing your video has really made me more pumped about it. I am looking forward to being smaller, I'm tired of being overweight. Everything you said is true, unfortunately, arthritis, diabetes, insomnia, depression... all of it, The only difference is I haven't told anyone except my son,I don't want to be deterred. It's only a1 day surgery and I'll be back at home! What does drinking a carbonated soda do😱?
Your son is going to be so excited for you! How old is he? Carbonation isn't great for a bariatric tummy. It can stretch where your sutures are and HURTS to digest.
Thank you so much for posting I'm going through the process now only have a couple more steps left before I know my surgery date I'm so excited for this change and to feel better.☺️
So for the last seven months I have been preparing for weight loss surgery. Just the other day I thought my June 27 date for surgery. This is probably gonna be the hardest thing or at least one of the hardest things I’ve ever done in my life because of the life-changing behaviors I have to learn. I did have one question, am a little concerned about the loose skin. Did you have any of those issues? This is actually the first video I have watched of yours. I am now going to go back and look at your weight-loss journey.
Hey Franky! I actually did a whole video on my loose skin if you want to actually see it! I don't have enough to think about regarding surgery, but I do know women who have had theirs removed.
Girl, I adore your channel! It feels like talking to a close auntie who's gonna tell you it real. Thank you. My family isn't supportive of my journey, I'm so glad you mentioned how to handle that.
Hi Chelsea!! Congratulations on your weight loss goal and maintenance! First, love the Izod sweater!! Looks great on you. As you know, I had my sleeve done on 11/16/21. Everything you say is exactly how I have felt prior to and through this process. I have shared your videos with some family members so they can understand a bit about why I chose this journey. The mental piece has been HUGE for me. Thanks for sharing and for your support throughout my journey.
@@BariTaleCoaching Yes I sure am! I had my 2-month post-op yesterday and my dietitian said I am doing great. She asked me if I had any regrets and I did not hesitate to say NO, none at all.
I had my surgery in October 2011 and was 293. Went down to 167 and maintained it until I had a procedure in January 2020 then I went up 20lbs and have not been able to lose it. It’s been an issue with my vitamin levels. Getting back on track now.
I feel like this video is describing everything I go through everyday this is exactly the video I needed to see, my parents are so against me getting surgery so thank you for this video
I was thinking about going on ozempic... the VA will pay for that or my sleeve.. maybe I should just get the sleeve if it's less side effects. Lol love your video.
All the pros were exactly what I needed to hear and then... the cons... I use ibuprofen frequently, I have tried so many protein powders and hate them, I have Autism which makes difficult social situations even more difficult and certain tastes and smells impossible to deal with, I get gastric issues and was told my IBS would improve with the surgery but I don't throw up... I don't want to throw up. I take pride in not throwing up. Even if I feel incredibly nauseas throwing up is one of my big fears. I already take supplements because my diet is heavily lacking in nutrition. My weight loss doctor is putting me on an injection, I think it's called Saxenda or something, probably spelt it wrong this is based on just people telling me the name verbally and I haven't had the balls to look at the packet. Taking the first injection tomorrow, or well technically today cause it's 4:20am. My favourite drinks are carbonated, specifically sugar free Sprite (honestly better than sugar full Sprite, fight me). I struggle financially because I can't work so I rely on payments from my crappy government. I'm around 210lbs/91kg so I wasn't even sure if I qualified for surgery, I thought you had to be like 250-300lbs+ so when I was told you only needed a BMI of 28 or 30 at the minimum it was a relief, I thought it was 40. My weight loss doctor believes it'll give me the best long term results, help with my gastric issues and maybe my mental health as well which is absolute trash, like suicidal trash. I definitely need to lose and keep off the weight, for many reasons, but mostly because my mental health will kill me if I don't and surgery doesn't just help with weight loss, in impacts hormones and all kinds of things which dramatically help with that stuff where normal weight loss may not be as effective. But the cons are... I actually don't know how I could even adjust to that and I really REALLY don't wanna throw up. Honestly, kinda feel like crying right now because I feel like the best option for me is slowly being stripped away by these stupid fucking side effects. Everything that's gonna help me has such bad side effects it makes me wonder if it's worth it and just makes me wanna die even more. I didn't intend for this to get that dark but typing this I just... I don't know what to do anymore, I feel trapped, I just want to cut everything I hate off my body and bleed out... I'd rather do that than throw up every time I eat a little too much... I don't want to throw up. I will miss sprite dearly and having been off gluten and most FODMAPs since 2017 I know how painful it can be to not be able to have something you used to love. I have breakdowns about not being able to have fucking pizza slices. It's been YEARS. How am I still so fucking attached to a nutrient my body instinctively attacks? It makes no sense. And now I'll be even more restricted? What am I even gonna be able to eat and drink?! Water is complicated for me too so it isn't as simple as just "drink water". I already have an extremely restricted diet due to celiac, FODMAP intolerance and Autism, I was already worried about the diet changes and now I'm pretty sure it's impossible... How am I supposed to do this? I'm having a bit of a crisis so I'm gonna just drown myself in Minecraft now but... Despite all this I very much appreciate the thorough and candid video about the surgery, this kind of stuff needs to be out there. Something that doesn't bias against or for, just gives all the information. OH and the teeth thing... I have terrible oral hygiene because of fibromyalgia and autism making it incredibly hard for me to brush my teeth. I take pride in somehow still never having had a filling in 26 years of life but my gums are inflamed and somewhat receded (I'm actually worried about curing them because when you get rid of inflammation in the gums they can recede more because they aren't puffy anymore) so the weak enamel thing? Now I'm terrified of losing my teeth. Losing my hair is a bit of a concern but if it comes back then I don't care, but my teeth... I don't know what to do with all this, but just because I'm venting in tired delirium doesn't mean I don't appreciate the video, it was a very informative video. I don't know why I'm making a venting essay with no paragraphs in a several month old RU-vid video's comment section but... I guess that's the internet... I'm sorry... But I needed to get this out there, I hope it didn't hurt anyone.
Hey, thank you for being open and honest here. This community is literally ALL about love, light, and support, so know how welcome you are. I'm NOT a medical professional, but I will tell you that the surgery's pros ESPECIALLY in terms of mental health can save your life. It's a whole new world (pardon the Disney) when your brain isn't focused on a narrative that's about shame, embarrassment, failure and pain. The throwing up is limited IF it happens to you. You would need to consume slowly and deliberately to avoid this natural reflux of your body. It's preventable! You won't lose your teeth, you just need to continue taking good care of them. It's the enamel that's impacted most, so hopefully your inflammation will lessen. I am not here to push you for this if you don't want it/aren't ready because it's a total lifetime commitment, but I do know how much it would help your brain space. You are loved JUST AS YOU ARE.
I feel like you and I would be great friends! lol. I've been approved for surgery, and I have the option of a sleeve or a full bypass. I would like to lose 100lbs. What made you choose the sleeve over the full bypass? Thank you for your videos!!
You are hilarious! This is the first time I’ve seen so much good information about weight lost surgery, thank you so much! I really would love to have the surgery but our insurance does not cover it! Blessings and take care!
Has your surgery affected the type of food you eat at Disney, or on any vacation? I am 8 months post-op and haven’t traveled anywhere since my surgery. While I love my results so far and wouldn’t change my decision, I am anxious about the next time I travel. I love traveling and I hope I will still be able to have a taste of some of my favorite foods, especially at Disney. Do you eat a stricter diet at home than when at Disney, or is your travel diet typically just as strict? Thank you!
Hi fellow Chels! So, I do tend to eat more salads and learned to love them. Don't be anxious! This far out, you can eat what you like, just obviously in smaller amounts. Initially, when we travelled, I would order from the kids menu, but I don't love the options as much so I just bring a doggie bag home wherever we go! I find EPCOT is the easier because of the smaller portions. I don't follow a strict diet, except for counting my protein. It's definitely more controlled at home because I am cooking, but it's still easy to do while on vacation!
The cheaper dates part made me giggle! I'm 6 days post-op, was 100% sure about the surgery, but due to the current pain (I know it will go away!) I am questioning my decision. Thanks for your honest feedback! :)
I hope this isn’t a rude question. I’ve also had the surgery and hit my 1 year anniversary and am down 70 pounds, but I started at 225. At what weight did you start yours? I’m asking because I’m hoping to lose just a little more, but not if it’s unhealthy.
