thanks to everyone for your support and well wishes. my father passed away at 7:18 this evening. My only consolation at this time is that he's in a much better place. please pray for us all - he left alot of family behind and we'll all miss him greatly. dorthe

That's not funny...but why am I smiling? Being a hairdresser I have seen a lot of sun burned heads lately. Our thinning parts don't help any.

Hi I was 295 heaviest Surgery 276 Feb 9 05 Today 210 Loss since surgery 66 Total Loss 85lbs Ya you are right I thought everyone else was losing more than me but when you look at it the way you put it I guess I am about the same as others. THANKS makes me feel better. 110/100 to go

That's a huge difference, you look great!

Thank you everyone for the replies so far. I think this thread proves my point wonderfully. Those of us with more to lose have lost more weight, but you can't look at it like that. It seems that most of us have lost between 40% and 60% of what we had to lose. We all look better, and feel better than ever. The point . . . Don't compete with anyone other than yourself, and when the weight loss slows (as it inevitably will) don't give up, just work a bit harder, and shake up your routine. We are all winners (I mean LOSERS ) here! Robin
