Monthly Weight & Progress Report

4/26/04 242 now 182 -60 pounds im really excited about the weight loss but i still feel pretty icky eating the same mush. i need to lay down sometimes to catch my breath just from walking and putting my hair up at the same time. i thought being this weight i would atleast be able to walk faster now i cant even walk normal pace. my body cant seem to catch up. i know soon it will get better and to keep pushing through some days are just hard

I wish you well Christina. The first three months have been tough at times getting adjusted to the new life style. I've found now that I have more energy since I've increased my calorie intake. I was eating wayyy to little to keep my body going. The weight loss has actually picked up too.

Hello Toni, Congrats on the loss! I'm originally from NC too. North Carolina is still my home. My Doc didn't offer the DS. I never heard about it before seeing this board. I've heard it can be a more effective weightloss for people who need to lose a substantial amount of weight like myself. I have to lose 200lbs or more. I'm hoping that I can get off at least 170lbs, but whatever I do I will be happy for. Best Wishes!

Hey Donna, congrats on the weightloss, you're doing wonderful - as all of the rest of you! My surgery was 4/8/04 Height - 5'10 Starting Weight - 302 lb BMI - 43.3 Current weight - 246.5 lbs - 35.4 Total loss = -56 lbs I also lost 10 inches off my waist!!! My lowest weight in years. I actually went to a normal store (Old navy) and bought not the largest size possible! I fit into a 14 & XL and I bought them even though they had XXL & 16. They were a little tight, but if I have anything to do with it, they won't be for long. Cant wait until next month! I haven't been this positive in a long time! Cat -56

I look forward to the day that I can wear clothes in those sizes. Hopefully it won't be too much longer.
