Julie,
Congrats on the weight loss....and thank you for the reminder. Reading your post and last update reminded me of just how happy I should be now that I've come so far. Sometimes, it's easier to look at where I'm going..and get frustrated...than to remember where I've been!

Congradulations on your success! I had surgery on 2/18/03 and down about 100 pounds. I can hardly believe I only have 30 more pounds to go till I reach my goal weight!
Good luck to you too!

Topic: Down 103 pounds
I have lost 103 pounds since February 5th. I have about 60-70 more to go. I have had no complications other than the normal eat too much or eat to fast . I am a little nervous, my weight loss has slowed down tremendously, doues this mean this is it for me? they say I will only lose 50-70 % of my excess weight, well I am at 50%. I guess I will have to work Harder ( hehehehe). Congradulations to all!!!!!
