Hi Everyone! I am close to 160# Started all this 02/04/04 at 233.3#. Things are going really slowly for me and I hope to eventually reach my goal weight at about 135#. That's still 25# to go. I thought I was happy right where I am now but the more new clothes I buy (in so much smaller sizes....Yipee) the more I want to lose. Sure seems harder to lose now days. I seem to plateau out then lose a few lbs. suddenly. Really the big depressing part is this great big apron I'm left with. The chiropractor says I can lose it by exercising but I just can't believe that! Joanne at 162#

Joanne... Congratulations on how well you're doing! I'm kind of surprised that you have a large apron to deal with. Your weights are very similar to mine (247/157) and I have no apron at all (which is shocking to me!) however, the skin at the base of my rear looks like my derriere just melted into a puddle. Isn't it odd how we all carry our weight in different areas of the body? Julie

Hi everyone you are all doing so great it is nice to hear how many people have changed their lives for good! I am a bit further from goal than all of you but i am sure i will get there. The last few weeks have been hard but i think i am gonna make it! I have 100 more to go to get to the MD's goal but 50 for mine. I have lost 150 so far and still feel as though i have a ton to go. I hope i am not the only one who feels this way!

I guess I can't really complain tooooo much. I have no ass any more. Joanne

Rhonda, I am ten pounds from goal. I started at 264 and I am now at 160. My surgeons goal for me was 132 (but I just think he is wacky), but by own personal goal for myself was 150. So, I'm pretty close to that.. Thanks!! Good luck to you in reaching your goal, I know you'll get there!!! -104 -Renee
