how much have you lost?

As of today I am down 103lbs. I feel great. I am averaging about 15lbs a month now. I hope I can keep it up.

I am at -90 since surgery. I am in a size 16 jeans. I would be happy to stay here or loose 20-30 more lbs. It is still hard for me to even think about it. I think if I did not need the tummy tuck, I would be in size 12-14. The dr I saw yesterday begged me to wait a total of 3 years before having any tucks done. Yuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey it's Rhen I am down 102 lbs and my 6th month anv. was on the 8th. I have struggled the last few weeks with food choices, a little depressed, I still have 65 lbs to go. If any of you guys pray, say a little one for me. Rhen

I can't believe it and I feel so great. I have lost 120 lbs. I still have a lot to lose but I am sooo happy. Wendy Ann

Starting: 325 Current: 244 Total loss: 81 lbs Goal: 150 Left to lose: 94 lbs My anniversary is tomorrow and I'm coming off of a stall so I'm hoping I see another one or two gone by the time I weigh in then. I'm an incredibly slow loser for my starting weight. So far in the last month I have only lost about 8 lbs - 4 lbs shy of the normal 12 I've been doing. I'm hoping my body just sees this as something to catch up on though. :: sigh :: Such is life. Dina

I am down 70 lbs, my starting weight was 268 and now I am 198, I have 56 more to go, I only lose about 4 to 5 lbs a month, now that's a slow loser! I am keeping optimistic and feeling great along the way- no health problems or concerns. I wish all of you continued success. Dawn 268, 198, 142

I'm struggling this month -- well I've struggled for that last few months with very slow weight loss. But this is also the first time in my entire life that I have gone 6 straight months of a steadily decreasing weight. I can also proudly say that I now weigh less than I have since I was 18 years old. Starting: 392 Current: 298 Total loss: 94 lbs Goal: 150 Left to lose: 148 lbs My goal weight is purely a shot in the dark since I have never in any memorable time frame weighed less than 200 (the lowest I remember is 221 in 7th grade after losing 40 pounds at a fat camp). I'm losing slowly these days...but I'm okay with it. I exercise regularly and my endurance and strength increases with every workout. My joints no longer hurt. I can run up and down my stairs many times a day. I can play on the floor with my toddler and get back up without help . I can my car seat forward and STILL not have my tummy touch. I've lost over 40 inches. I do have days where I make poor food choices, but not often and I do find it MUCH easier to say no because some foods just no longer make me feel good. I sometimes take a bite of something but then only chew and spit it out...I just wanted the taste lol. Anyway -- take care and I hope all have a wonderful and successful September! Lissa

Geeez, you guys are doing great!! I am the unofficial queen of the slow losers!! I have lost 62 pounds my 6 month mark is coming up...I do admit that I am feeling great though. I exercise, I can get my water in now, sometimes drinking 120 oz a day, I am eating right. The only thing I can think that might be hindering me is that I am diabetic. I got blood work done at 4 months and my cholesterol was normal, my doc even wrote the word EXCELLENT in caps by the numbers. My blood sugar is slowly but surely coming down and I am off all meds except for one. I sure wish the weight would come off faster...I'll take the 62!! Rhonda -62 Queen of the Slow Losers
