Hi! My name is Kimberley. I'm 44 yrs. old, single w/a 14 year old daughter. I work at St. Lawrence University in Canton, NY (Northern NY, 2 1/2 hrs north of Syracuse). My surgery was Jan. 21 and I have lost a total of 102 lbs! Only 21 pounds to goal! I was wearing size 22/24 and now am in a size 8 and yes some 6's! WOW!! I'm not sure how many inches I've lost. But, I can take my size 22 jeans and put my whole body in one leg! Amazing, isn't it? I love shopping for new clothes and have found the local thrift shop to be a godsend! I am off my liptor and am no longer a diebetic! I have so much more energy than before & rarely sit still! I'm much more active. I walk at least 3 miles four times a week. I'll be heading to the gym more often once the academic year starts! I am just soooo much happier and healthier! My weigh in is tomorrow and hopefully I'll be down another couple of pounds. I love this board and the people who post on it that have given me words of wisdom, kindness, and encourgement! Thank you all! I love going out in public and having people look at me and their complements (both from strangers and friends). I have so much more self confidence and self esteem! I thank my doctor, Micheal Hill from Adirondack Medical Center in Saranac Lake, NY. He has given me tool which has helped me achieve a happier, healthier, and youthful life. The support group up there is fabulous! God bless you all! And best of luck on your WLS Journey! Kimberley 248/236/146/125 Some day I hope!

Hi my name is Linda, I'm 31 years old, married, currently living (stationed) in Hawaii, I'm from Maryland. I started in a tight I mean very tight 26... I'm down to a size 10. I lost 76 lbs so far only 42 lbs till my goal weight. I'm able to do more things and not feel tired all the time. Biggest thing I'm able to keep up with my two little kids. Life is great know. I dont know how many inches I have lost Last time I did measuring was the night before surgery.

Hey gang! We have not had a roll call in quite some time - so add to it! Name, family status, pounds lost, total inches lost, clothing size sarted vs. now & most important thing you can do now (or don't have to do) since surgery & weight loss. I'll start! Congrats all & thanks for each of us supporting one another! Barbie My name is Barbie. I am 30 years old, single, living in Gainesville, FL. I just started a new traveling Human Resources job - so I actually won't be living there much! I have lost 86 pounds, and the last time I took measurements (two noths ago), I had lost 52 inches! I started as a tight size 26 and can wear a 16 now. I am most thankful to be able to exercise without dying - whether it is for fun, working out, or plain shopping! I feel like I can do it all! I thank each of you for your support, love & sharing this journey with me! Cheers! Barbie
