We had 38 participants this month ...
We've lost a total of 4392 lbs
That's about 115.5 pounds a person.
We're still losing at a rate of 2.81 pounds a week **notice this number is going down** so don't go crazy if your weight loss is slowing down - ALL OF US ARE SLOWING DOWN but we are still going!
We've lost 80% of our excess weight - AMAZING! Each and every one of you is a SUCCESS STORY.
CONGRATULATIONS to everyone and thank you for your continued participation. It really is a pain in the neck to add and delete people each month, but besides that, it makes the chart so much more accurate when people continue to participate despite having a month they are not happy with. So THANK each and every one of YOU being here.
Remember, it's a good time to review the RULES of the POUCH [and Scott, I don't know what your rules are called, but I know you have them!].
Personally, I have noticed that it is much easier to EAT now [and I find myself craving carbs like veggies and salad] and that I need a reminder to eat PROTEIN FIRST.
Have an excellent holiday season, think about where you were last year at this time, and SMILE about who you are today.

Some of the other things I noticed this past month:
The less healthy carbs give me gas and make me more hungry for more carbs.
Drinking my protien shake to start out my day helps me stay less hungry and make better choices.
Exercise is sort of kind of addicting. I don't necessarily look forward to doing it, but when I DON'T, I miss it.
I really like strawberries [with a little cool whip and wheat germ] and pineapple [who knew?]
I serving of potato chips is only 14 [FOURTEEN:O] chips. It's HARD to just eat 14 chips. One serving of strawberries is almost 2 cups, it's HARD to eat 2 cups of strawberries.

Thank you so much for doing the chart each month. It is appreciated.
I've noticed similar things. I'm totally addicted to fresh fruit AND exercise. Pre-op, I hated both. I agree about eating bad carbs. Yesterday was a bad day for me. I ate way too many pretzels at the christmas party at the gym. And, (insert gasp) I had a piece of sugar free apple pie. I was still hungry too! I've found that I really need to stay away from breads and pastas or I'm hungry all the time.
