What length would you go to lose weight?
 
Check this out. This is a very dangerous practice and you may people that do this but you don't know that they are on it.

I personally cannot tolerate diet drugs...makes me all weirded out.
Just good ole' diet and exercise for me.

I wonder how addicting this drug and others like it are?

I had gastric bypass surgery. After trying everything else, that was my Godsend, and I'm thankful I went that route. I've been VERY successful and have kept it off and am 2 yrs post-op now.

It feels good for people to tell me that I'm too thin!! Not that I believe them or anything, but it's a phrase I've never heard in my life!

This September 4th will be 4 years for me. I used to weigh over 450 now about 225. I want to get to about 200 even.

Roux-en-y baby! Still the gold standard!

RD...Congrats my friend! Are you working out alot of what? All the weight I have lost-45lbs-has been just by working out I still eat about the same. Though I do skew to healthier options but nothing too strict. What are you doing to try and lose the extra 25lbs?

Yes. I exercise, lots of cardio and weights- Been doing core training. Wow! Kicked my keester! Way harder than it looks.

As far as eating, no magic here. Just high lean protein, complex carbs and fiber, and cut out the simple sugars.

Since my GB surgery, I've lost 194 pounds, but I've lost 226 from my highest weight ever, which was 4 1/2 years ago.

I wish you'd share pics. Even if you have to email them to me!!!
