4/14 - Slow Loser??

Shelli, I LOVE your name " Shelli ShrinkingBelly " That is awesome!!!! Congratulations on your weight loss so far! It is amazing to me how much difference 40 -50 lbs can make in how you feel! You are doing great! Ronda (also shrinking but not as much in the belly ) I'm with you about using the support of this website! It is great!

You're right on schedule!!! I had my surgery on April 15th and I'm down 49 pounds-- get off the scale!! Don't weigh yourself at home- let your doctor do it-- another thing you should try and remeber is that muscle weighs more then fat-- use a measuring tape!! You're doing great, keep up the good work!

Jane, I was one day after you - 4/15 for surgery. I'm down 40 lbs. which is a lot slower than other people that I see on the boards. But, I've taken my measurements every month (well, ok it's only been two months) and I've lost 30 inches. That's where the big difference is. I've had a two week plateau on weight but I have skirt that I'm almost in that's a size 14. I try it on every week or two when I weigh in even if I haven't lost weight. And, it gotten looser even on plateau weeks. Just add another option to measure yourself by - not just the scale. It really helps. Good luck! Tandi
