How much lost?
Happy New Year to All of You!! Thanks for the Christmas cards! We have alot to celebrate don't we?? Each of us are winners!!!!!
Its the end of the month again-How much have you dropped this month and total for the year? Let me start...
Surgery date April 4, 2006
Start-242
Today-162
Lost 80
Lost this month-
started at 168 went to 170 and now 162-so is that 6 or 8 for this month?
Either way-I'll take it!!
I have confess to everyone that I ate a Nestles choc chip cookie hot out of the oven yesterday. It is the first choc. I have had since surgery. I was so mad at myself!! I don't know why I did it-I just did. I have had Chip Ahoy and other junk for my family on my counter since surgery and never once cheated. I wish I would have dumped but didn't and I don't like knowing in my mind that I can have one and be okay. I am going to have to sit down with myself and go over this in my head. I have come too far to fall back now. One good thing I did do yesterday though-my hubbie and kid wanted a McFlurry and and a shake from McDonalds last night and I had a fruit and grape & walnut cup so I got a plus there!!
Have a Happy New Years!!

Hi Sharon,
Don't worry about one cookie. How many might you have had before surgery? I eat a random cookie from time to time, and it's like WLS Russian Roulette. Sometimes I dump, sometimes I dump BAD , and other times nothing happens. As long as it is not an everyday thing -- cut yourself some slack.
On to the fun part.
Surgery date: April 18, 2006
Start: 394
Today: 227
Lost: 167
Lost this month: I started at about 234-235 (I'm in the process of moving, and my notes are at the other place) so that's about 7-8 for the month. I average about 10 per month these days, but it IS the holidays -- and I've been eating way more than I usually do. Time for New Years and getting back to the gym!
Happy New Year!

Sigh
My loss for the month has been 1.5 lbs...how sad is that?
since the begining of november i lost 7.5 lbs....
I think i have been having too many carbs....but it's tough to cut them out once you add them in....
I havne't had any sweets.....well i've had sugar free sweets but not full flavor ones...
I know that this new year is going to be another banner year for all of us....
from surgery i've lost a total of 87.5 lbs...i'll take it!!!!!
my first goal of the year is to get down to 150 by mid march when i go on my cruise....but i will be happy to get to 165 by then too,...not gonna stress too much about it cause it will come off when it's ready
Happy new year

Highest 265
Current 177.5
Goal 130
Well with Christmas all I can say is I don't know how but I have lost 2 or 3 pounds in the last 2 weeks. I am down to 171! Which is a total of 139 lost so far with 26 more to go!
Start- 310
Today- 171
Goal- 145
My lifestyle change for this new year is to use my membership at Curves I was so good at the start then it went down hill in the last few months. I need to tone something fierce!
Good luck everyone and best wishes for the new year!
Hugs to all my fellow April peeps!
Oh my goodness how did you get such a small stomach!!! You look amazing!!!
You must be exercising like crazy.
Wow, so close to goal...you will do it.....would love a sample of what you eat. On the Over Fifty Board Nancy always asks "Rufus (her pouch name) wants to know what ya eating today" We should do that too. It really helps to see how and what we do eating wise so we can learn from each other. Maybe I will do a new post asking the question on this board.

The Christmas Cards were great. Some really talented people out there! We certainly do have a lot to celebrate this New Years Eve. Heres to a losing 2007 for those of us who still need to lose and to a great maintenence year for those of you who are at goal.
My weight loss has slowed down, maybe due to the time since surgery and maybe to the fact that I have slacked off on getting to Curves and recording all my intake. I have already started to change that and get back to the basics with food, record keeping and exercise. I lost around 8 pounds this month, which I will take. My hope (goal) was to get to onederland by tomorrow but still have 4.5 pounds to go.
Beginning weight 321
Today weight 204.5
Total lost 116.5
I do feel wonderful and ready for the New Year.
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE---LETS MAKE IT GREAT.
Julia
Happy New Year April family
I had surgery April 24, 2006
Starting weight: 335
Today weight: 216.5
Goal weight: 150
66.5 lbs to goal.
I had to many calories today, I ate a couple pieces of peanut brittle, had to take it to son so that I would quite eating it. I have lost 10.5 lbs this month with a total of 118.5 for the year. I think that is just great, so I will take it.
My goal for the new year is to focus on EXERCISE. I hope that I can get into a routine that I will always do. I usually do it for about 2 weeks staight then slack off again. So I am going to really focus on that part
WE ARE ALL BIG LOSERS!! for us
God Bless everyone
Happy New Year :cheer:

Well, this month I lost 8.4lbs.
Start weight 290lbs/current weight 171lbs/total loss...119lbs/goal mine 135/pounds to goal...36.
My Dr. never gave me a true weight to weigh as goal. But in March maybe he will. I may ask at support meeting this Wed.(in private).
I am only 5'1" and was alot smaller before my weight gain so I am not sure, but I know being almost 57 makes a difference...I don't want to look sickly and haggard.
I want to exercise more and drink more water or crystal light. Also, up protein my hair is aweful dry and thin.
Any suggestions...I do take biotin daily.
Great job everyone!!
