I started at 315lbs and I currently as of my last wiegh in am at 177lbs, that is a total loss of 138lbs so far. I am 10mths, 4wks, 2days out from surgery. I am 27lbs away from goal which is 150lbs. I hope to get to my goal wieght by 3/3/05 which is my 1-year surgiversary. The only suiggetions that I can give when it comes to jumpstarting your wieghtloss is to go back to the basics, Make sure you drink your water, eat your protien first, and take your vits and definitely exercise at least 30min. day. I hope this helps. Tyshea 315/177/150

Scarlette, As I've posted a couple of times lately, my weight loss has completely stopped. Nothing for 6 weeks now. This is the longest stall I've experienced since the surgery. I am down 125. I have about 40lbs to lose. I also don't think I will make my personal goal before my surgeon appt. on March 1st. As to boosting the weight loss, I know that exercise is one of the most important things we can do. I've been sidelined with a minor health problem lately so haven't worked out in a couple weeks. Hope to get back to it next week. good luck to all marchers. corgimom

i too have recently seemed to have stabilized, but i feel except for the excess skin im at goal, i'm down to a 38" waist and size large shirt and i stand 6'3" tall. i currently weigh around 245 which means in a little over 10 months im down 270lbs.

thanks, you're sweet.

Thanks Deborah. I seem to be giving a lot of things some thought lately...my brain runs so much it could be losing weight too! My biggest problem right now is that everytime he is late or whatever I immediately start wondering. Good luck! Becky R
