How much and how long???

Hi, Marcia We're pretty much running neck and neck -- I am down around 26 lbs. -- we are two days apart. Frustrating -- yes! Marla (4/21/05) highest 329/presurgery 271/now 245/goal 149 (or less)

Hi Marla, I am sorry that you are in the same boat with me but it's nice to know that I am not all alone. We will ride this very slow cruise out together Marcia

7 weeks and 21 pounds and 2 sizes! First fill next week! Go us!!!!!!

4-1-05--35 lbs. I am a slow loser too but I will just keep plugging away! whenever I get discouraged I ask myself "when was the last time you lost 35 pounds??? Gives me a reality check. Jackie

Congrats to everyone on the post for being "losers" My banding was done 4/27/05, 7 weeks and down 24 pounds

I wanted to post an update...I am now at 92lbs lost! Wowza...sorry had to toot my own horn a second. Hope I didnt deafen anyone. lol Congrats everyone on your AMAZING weight loss!

Surgery was on 4/19, as of this past Sunday - which is my two month anniversary, I am down 60 pounds, 12 inches on my waist, and almost 3 inches on my neck. 308lbs to 248lbs 56/58" Waist to 44/46 3XL/4XL Shirt to ALMOST an XL 19in Neck to ~16 Neck All my "Big Dog" clothes gone. All my "big man" clothes gone. I barely have anything left to wear and it's silly to go out and buy something when in two weeks (if that) it won't fit. Many of my work clothes look like Clown Clothes now. I have a very difficult time getting in my protein, but when I do is when I loose faster. I walk an hour about 2-3 times a week, and do some aerobics in the gym a couple times a week as well. And trust me I'm not complaining! -Chris

I had surgery on April 5 and as of yesterday I am down -56 lbs!!!
