Hi Janice, Can you believe how quickly time has passed. I stepped on the scale this morning and have officially lost 120lbs. I have seven more to go to goal and I'm actually starting to believe I'll get there. I did have my doubts as I seemed to be stuck at 115lb loss for the longest time, over 5 months. Hope your holidays were merry and bright. Toni

Wow thats a great feeling isn`t it........I have been stuck between 145-150 pds forever 1 year now so i think that may be ideal weight.....I am only 5`1 and a half so my goal weight is 140pds and my doctor said 134pds......but i look like i have aged alot so i will be happy at 140-143pds.........I weighed in today at 148pds........DAMM best of luck janice

Hi Janice We Marchers are still here just lurking. I lost 93 pounds on my journey and I want to lose at least 35 more pounds but just seem stuck. What does your diet consist of now? I was happy with my weight lost but I felt I was looking so old. Any advice will be appreciated. P

So glad to hear from someone Congratulations on your journey Well I started a diet in 2001 and lost 100 pds on my own I was 320 pds. and miserable AND then I gained back 40 pds in 3 months so the doc said "gastic bypass" and i said please please I went in weighing 240 pds and they had me lose down to 231 pds the day of surgery Now I am at about 147 pds..I want to lose down to 140-142pds and then I will be happy......I dont eat regular meals I do alot of snacking and thats not very good!!! I work out at a local gym 4 times a week, I also discovered sugar over the hoildays so I am trying not to do that. I cant eat a whole plate of food at 1 seating I can eat about half a plate of food but I can snack alot. I love bread so I can have 1 slice a day as a sandwhich...My doctor said to go back to all protein which is eggs, cheese, meats, jerky, etc.......I did in nov. and lost 8 pds but its hard to live that way.... best of luck to you.

Hello Everyone! I haven't written on boards in a very long time, but do check it out often. The two years flew by, didn't they? I lost a total of 106 lbs. I have been up down 5-6 lbs. all year. I made a personal goal to loose 20 this year. I'm not sure if my body needs to loose 20 but I want to see if I can. Surgery has been the best thing I did for myself in my life. I would do it over in a heartbeat. I do need all the help I can get to continue to loose let alone maintain the loss. It sure will be a life long struggle. Going to the store and buying "normal" sizes is a great motivator!I love it!!!! The looks from people I haven't seen in years is great! The compliments alone are enough to stay on track (most of the time!) Good 2007 to all of us Marchers! We are here when we need each other! Becky

Thank you and i am soooooooo glad to hear from someone who had surgery in 2005..That kinda gives us a feeling of knowing we are still here and working on the weight loss.........Today I weighed in at 145 pds and I am think that I am done trying to kill myself and I need to be happy at this weight Wow 106 pds that great Some times I dont agree with the weight charts as I`m really looking old My charts say I can weigh 122 to 134 pds............I have some hanging skin in the tummy as I had 2 tummy tucks already, I could use 1 more, But I am not going to press my luck. Its been really hard eating better foods and trying not to eat sugar (my favorite) but it makes me REALLY sick and exchausted Janice 320/231/145 5 ft 1 and a half 53 yrs
