That sounds so great. I hope to be there one day! Becky

Hi Angela, I don't have your exact "problem," but a variation - most of my excess weight is in my belly area. So guess where I have been showing the most change from weight loss? My FEET and my BOOBS! I was never big in the chest, about a C cup at my highest weight of 368, but now at 270 I am wearing my old B cups and they are too big! I don't know what the answer is, I have no idea how the body decides where to drop weight, but if anybody has any wisdom about how to exert some INFLUENCE, I'd sure love to know how Good luck, Angela!

Hello Melanie; How good it is to see other Marchers succeeding. I weigh and measure myself every 26th of each month and this month I now lost 72lbs. and 55 3/4 inches. I am now at 219. I weigh less than my husband, 3 kids, and my own mother. I am not complaining. I tried sending you a picture to let you see my length of hair. It is short but it is still coming out especially when I wash my hair. It gets all over me and my towel. So if I loose a lot it won't matter to me. With my short hair who is going to notice? I haven't done much excercising. Not anyplace to go to around here. People that I see in church and around this tiny town have all complimented me about how nice I am looking. Believe me I am eating it up and enjoying it. Melinda 293/219

Claire, I too have only lost 65 lbs since my surgery, but I'm pleased with the outcome so far and try not not to focus on numbers, but how I look and feel in my clothes. I'm down to wearing 12-14 size clothing. YOU'RE DOING GREAT!!!! Karla

It is hard to get in enough protein without them. Especially if you really stick to the size of meals that Dr.s suggest. So, for now, I'm sticking with that breakfast drink. Haven't been able to stomach the powders since the second week from surgery so I have a daily Isopure (premixed). It is a little sweet but the grape is tolerable and 40 grams of protein for 160 calories and 0 carbs can't be beat. Alison
