I've lost 74 pounds and would really love to lose 50 more to get to that elusive "ideal weight", which for me is 138 pounds. Is it a pipe dream? I don't know. I'll find out. Lynda 262/188/?138?

Woooo hoooo Nancy! What a great feeling huh!?!?!? I am guessing you are a shorty like me?? LOL I am 4'11''. Keep up the great work!! Hugggz~Christy

I love Luna protein bars. They're 180 calories with 10 grams of protein and only 10 gramsof sugar. I eat half for breakfast and that's enough to keep me till lunch. I'm sure it's not the best choice out there but it's working for me...

Congrats on your weightloss Christy! I was considered a lightweight also when I started out. Several people on some of the boards actually tried "talking" me out of the surgery. Glad I didn't listen to them. I was 217lbs back in December and dropped down to 209lbs right before surgery. Now, I only have 28 lbs to go until I'm at my goal. Yippee!!!! Nancy 209/154/126

Hi everyone! I have been reading all the messages and wooooo hoooooooo congrats everyone!!!!!!! Early, early on (early post-op) I posted a "how much to go" post and added them up and it was a couple of cruisliners worth of weight we all collectively wanted to lose. LOL Well here it is 4 months (plus some days for most) and its here again! I was in some eyes a "lightweight" to begin with, since I had 106 lbs to lose. (Only around here is someone over 100 lbs overweight considered a lightweight, huh? LOL) But I have lost 75 lbs and have 31 lbs to go. How YOU do'in???? Hugggz~~ Christy 227/152/121
