Ok, this week has been awesome for me when it comes to weight loss....here are my stats: Highest: 272 DOS: 233 Last Week: 180 Today- 175 Total loss since surgery:58lbs

Good morning! Today I weigh 215. That's -78 lbs total, 72 since surgery. Woo hoo!

Good afternoon everyone! Hope everyone is having a wonderful Sunday! It's been a hectic, but great week. Several WOW moments this week. I crossed paths with several old friends this week...one was totally surprised and the other one didn't even recognize me...that was exciting. Also went to Kings Dominion Amusement Park on Wed. with the kids and another family. It was GREAT not having to fear whether or not I would / could fit into the rides. ALL rides were a go! We had such a great time that we stayed until they kicked us out! Jan 07= 265 DOS = 248 Last week = 205 Today = 201 4# for the week 64# total 47# since surgery Woohoo!!!!!!

OK, here I am participating in my first A-Team weigh in! ONEderland is so close I can taste it! Highest: 262 DOS: 250 Current: 200.5 Lost since surgery: 49.5 Total loss: 61.5 Congratulations to everyone! We are doing AWESOME.

dos: 250 last week: 228.something or other today: 223.9 here we go again. is there a spot for the non-loser/gainers?

Heaviest Weight 285 January 272 DOS 264 Last Sunday 198.5 Today 195.6 I was a bit disappointed I didn't loose more this week considering all the excersize I have done this week. I have swam almost every night and been walking and weight training too. I figure I will see more of a loss next week if I continue to eat right. If I could from my highest weight I am 10lbs away from my century mark

Hey Melissa - Don't be disapponted. I read something recently about exercise and weight. when you work out, you actually get mini tears in your muscle fibers and when those heal you build strength in the muscle. Well, when that healing is occuring the muscles grab onto water and hold it (thus you are retaining water weight). The article didn't go any further into depth but I believe that the water retention is necessary to release the build up of lactic acid from the muscle (lactic acid is what causes post-workout burn). So - don't get down! Keep doing what you are doing. More than anything else, you are doing something very good for your heart.

No big competition here - I'm sure we'll both make it to the century mark soon enough! I'm more aware of how much I've lost since surgery (including the 2 weeks liquid diet beforehand). Including that 2 weeks, I've lost 75# since making the "supreme commitment". I lost around 18# in the 6 months before surgery by the usual means of dieting and exercise (as much as I could tolerate then). That 18# would surely have returned and brought friends with it in no time if I'd not had the surgery. Yea us ! ! ! ! ! A-Teamers Rule!

Highest, 2/07 345 lbs. DOS, 4/23/07 323 lbs. Last, 7/12/07 273 lbs. Today 7/15/ 2007 approx 270 lbs. (since thurs approx -3 lbs.) May be more, may be the same come my weekly weigh in on Thursday... All the best to all of you A-teamers Susan

Highest (Jan 07) 243+ DOS 220 Last week 174.6 Today 172.2 (-2.4#) Total lost 70# Lost since surgery 48# Loving the weight loss and had lots of energy yesterday...but not feeling so good today. I had trouble again with my pouch (didn't like the bite of lean turkey burger I tried to eat for dinner or the protein pancakes I made this morning). Oh well, back to the protein shakes for the day tomorrow.
