Congratulations!!!!!!! You have done a fantastic job! Now tell me, how tall are you cause 240 in an 18/20 isn't a lot. I think I was that too but I am 5'11". Damn, a 4/6. Unbelievably great work. Joanne

Hi Julie, My surgeon doesn't have much of a support system. Not like others. He also made me feel like I could fail. And I am not going to let that happen cause that means he wins. Damnit, I am going to win this!!! I am very careful of the foods I add in. Trying to keep them low carb and low fat. Hey, it's protein so how high carb can it be??? Joanne

Joanne it has been awhile. You look wonderful. I admire the heck out of you cause you are so driven. Keep up the wonderful work. Annette 291/158/150

Hey. Feb. 9 was one year for me. I had lost a total of 150lbs as of Dec 31. I had surgury (tailbone removal) on Jan3 and was not very active for a while. I was floating between 190-195 and i just figured that it was over. i had lost all of the weight that i was going to lose. I was just as happy as i could be. I went from a size 30\32 to a 12\14. Well, this past thursday i was 190. I have become more active since my surgury and picked up on my protien drinks. I weighed Sat 185lbs. I was shocked. Then i just about junped through the roof when i weighed Sunday and was at 180lb. I'm floating between 180-183. I went to the store yesterday and i bought a pair of jeans and a skirt in a size 10. A 10. I never would have thought that i would wear a 10. I squealed in the dressing room. That gave me so much motivation. My original personal goal was 175 but now i think i may want to go lower. Good luck to every one and God Bless. Becky

I haven't lost anything since January 6th, but overall I'm down 106 pounds and think I may be as low (148) as I'm going to go. I had my one year check up yesterday and the surgeon was pleased and had me talk with the dietician about weight maintenance. Julie
