Roll call January babies! How much weight have you lost?

I am down 106lbs and ing for joy about it. I would like to lose 28 more pounds and I will be content. I have always been a thick woman and I am not really trying to be skinny. I just want to be healthy. Tiffany 299/193/165

Minus 93 since coming home from the hospital I would do this all over again in a heartbeat... I don't have any life regrets, but one... I wish I'd done this sooner! ((((skinny hugs)))) wendyb 306/213/healthy & happy

My 7 month anniversary will be on August 31st. Since surgery I've lost 81 pounds and prior to surgery lost 25, so that's 106 pounds total!!!! My loss is also slowing down. I find now that I have a week or two with no loss or bouncing around with the same 1-2 pounds and then right before my period I drop weight. I've lost six pounds this week and that's after holding steady/no weight loss for the first 3 weeks of August. I'm trying to wean myself from weighing everyday, but it's a hard habit to break!

Oh yeah... I have slowed down to 1 or 2 pounds each week. And I typically gain and then lose or hold steady during my menstration week. It is so weird. So I am pretty sure I am gonna milk these last few pound until goal weight! I never thought I would make goal weight and now that I am so close I want to set a new one! LOL!

Down 120 pounds so far. 59.5 more til my goal. Doc hasn't set one for me yet. Pat 329.5/209.5/150

Deb, Today is my 7 month wls anniversay and I was down 97 lbs. when I weighed at the nut's office 2 weeks ago. I only weigh once a month at the doc or nut's office (their scales are pretty close to each other). By only weighing once a month I don't drive myself crazy worrying about a plateau. I'm thrilled with my loss but, yes, it has slowed down. However, I'll take 6-8 lbs a month any a day!!! I've never been able to lose 1.5-2 lbs a week before so I'm a happy camper. I may not make my goal weight in 12 months, but I will get there eventually! And even though I'm not losing as much weight, I'm still dropping inches. My nut told me to increase my food intake so I'm eating 650-750 calories a day, with about 35-50g protein. So I'll find out in 2 weeks if I've dropped more or less than last month. Vickie J.

Hi Deb, I am still thrilled every time I step on the scale. I am down 125 lbs and loving it! Went from 367 to 242. Can't wait to get to onderland! I am slowing down also. Used to lose 4-6 lbs a week, now 2-3 lbs but still happy with that! I have not weighed this since I was pregnant with my 2nd son 24 years ago....so this is really old fat and it doesn't want to let go. To bad, because it IS going to GO! Congrats to everyone! Linda 367/242/?

I'm now at 185.5 pounds, which goes up and down 1/2 pound, depending on the heat or my fluid intake.... I have increased my protein most days and my water; and have added lots of vits and minerals. I feel so much better and although my loss has slowed to a pound or so a week, I am in a size 14 for the first time in 20+ years! So, I'm a happy camper. I've lost over 85" and am only 35.5 pounds to goal! I still don't always recognize myself in the mirror, but I sure look taller!!! Hugs! Jacqui 288/185.5/150

Congratulations all January babies!!!! Everyone is doing just awesome!!!! I had lap rny on January 10, 2005 and have lost 87 pounds so far. I have approximately 55 more pounds to go. Hopefully, I will lose it by my one year anniversary date 1/10/06. Keep up the good work everyone!!! Aren't we all so very lucky to have been given the opportunity to cross over to the "losing side".
