I made it to 100 pounds ON my six-month anniversary -which was yesterday! How wild is that? Just wanted to chime in and say CONGRATULATIONS!! Ain't it ONEderful!?!?!?! Gina 357/257/1-something

Congratulations Michelle! Not only are you physically healthy, your attitude is very healthy. You are really aware of the consequences if you don' keep up the good work, and I think that will continue to steer you on the right path. I'm so proud of you! Realizing taking a second job could jeopordize your health is big. This surgery has made me make my health my number one priority and forced me to take care of some health issues I had ignored for awhile. It was an unexpected benefit for me. I'm 6 months out too and have lost 76% of my excess weight (about 117--lost 20 before the surgery). I had my 6 mo check yesterday and am a little low on iron, but everything else looks good. Great job Michelle, try to focus on today and not worry about 1-2 years from now...you'll get there! Colleen

WAY TO GO, AMBER! I am right there behind you. 2 pounds 'til the Century Club, and then 9 more 'til goal. Judy 279/181/170

They sound good, but not only do they have too many carbs for me, they also contain more sugar grams than I eat in a day. However, if you can tolerate them, then more power to you. Have you tried EAS Advant Edge? 25g of protein, 0g sugar and 2g carbs. They come in all kinds of delicious flavors. Judy

Jackie, My personal goal is exactly the same as yours. I want to be down 100 pounds by my 6th month anniversary which is Oct 27th. I have about 2 pounds to go. And then it's only another 9 'til goal!!!! Judy PS Here's positive vibes for both of us
