70lbs gone forever........... WHOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOO Hope you find your ring and have a great day

Way to go Kay Yeeeeeeeee Hawwwwwwwwwwww to you too. I'm so proud of you Hon. It feels great dont it. Put me down I have lost a total of 70 pounds. I hope you get a lot of reponses. It will be neat to see how everybody else is doing. I am getting so much out of this website. It really helps to talk to others going through this. Keep n touch LOL Sharon

Awesome job Sharon...........70 pounds is great!! I just posted a January roll call post. Hope to see everyone on there. Keep up that great job you are doing girl. That is too bad about your ring though. Mine are loose too. Hope you are able to find it somewhere. Take care hon.

Yee Haw, I hit the 200 mark today. The elusive 199 can't be too far behind. Can't wait to see it.....it's been 15 years. So my total lost is 72 pounds since last May when I started my journey, and 63 since my surgery in January. I will be happy with another 40. How is everyone else doing on their weight loss? Let's have another January roll call with weight lost. Hope everyone is doing well. Blessings to all!!!

I can sympathize with you because I am going through the same thing. My surgery was 1/20/04. I eat between 500-800 calories (average 650), aim for 60 gms of protein and try to keep my carbs below 20 gms, exericse 3 days a week on treadmill 30 min and 2 days a week on weight machines 30 minutes. I also do an exercise on tape at home some nights "Walking off the pounds" or something similar. Post op weight loss 51 lbs, pre-op loss 58 lbs. I've had two weeks in the last six weeks that I lost -0- lbs. Two weeks ago I lost -0- lb and last week 1 lb. I think we are just going to have to be patient but it's hard. I've read any kind of change is good when the loss stops. Maybe you could take three 15 minute walks a day (temporary change) instead of the 30 minute and cut your carbs back to 20 gms for the next week. Think about any changes you can make in your routine. We have gotten through all the insurance paperwork, surgery, learning to eat again, we can get through this too. We'll just have to hang tight. Best of luck!
