Where are you .. Hellooooo Out there ...

Me too -- I thought all the May babies just got up and went. I'm still here, still struggling with my latest plateau (167-163-167-166 for a month now). Doing OK with food, liquids and protein ... just cannot get my act together around exercise. It still seems like work! Donna 256(consult)/243(pre-op)/166(today)/134(someday!)

HERE I am.....I know I know...I am guilty too of being quiet. I do come here at least every other day to see if there is anything new. It was going really good for awhile and then it seems we all dropped off. SO how is everyone doing these days? I too have been on a plateau....this is my first 'REAL' one. It has been close to a month now. I only lost 4lbs last month and since then I have bounced between 162 & 164.5. Yesterday I was so excited because I was down to 162.5 so I thought maybe I was finally going to start moving again...but NO....today I was 164.5. ARGGGGG!!! Oh well...I can't blame anything but myself. If I think back...this all started when my husband came back from his 3mo deployment. WHile he was gone I was able to concentrate on what 'Julie' needed (of course the kids too...but that is normal) and since he got home I don't seem to have time for 'me' anymore. It kind of feels like once I take care of the kids , my husband and the house I have nothing left over. I know...it is no excuse. I just need to learn to juggle better. I will try to get in the grove soon. GUESS WHAT?? The other day I jogged for the first time in my life. I even did it for 1/2 mile w/o stopping. Then I walked another 1/2mile. I was SO proud of myself!! Well I hope everyone is doing well... Julie S. 265/164/130

Heyyyyyyy.... things are going OK - sort of at a plateu these days.. hovering around 283. I have been eating a lot of crap - especially this weekend with the snow in DC. But I did all the shoveling and played outside with my wife and our dog. So, I've lost over 150 pounds since surgery. I can't believe how much better shape I am in. I did over 4 miles on the tredmill - 3.85 all at once. So, I have no question that I can and WILL do a 5K race around my 1 year anniversary.

Hiya May buddies, Things are plugging along here...although I have been on a plateau too...although I have been noticing I am eating a little more...but I still wouldnt say a lot, so I dont know ...I think I am still losing inches, its just the numbers havent gone anywhere but 1-2lbs in the last several weeks. So far I am -152lbs and have gone from a size 32 to an 18. My hubby was waiting for me outside of a store last night and didnt recognize me until I came right up to him My hair is slowly growing back although in the morning I'm still looking like a troll doll with all those short hairs sticking up all over. Nice to hear from everyone!

Hello, I am doing just fine. I had a great visit with my GYN and suprised him and his nurse at the new me. He said it was great and that I was half the size I was, and looked happier too, yep sure am. I also took him a picture of my 3 yr old son that he delivered 3 yrs ago. Which was 26 week preemie, and doing great no delays and told him that he does not qualify for headstart either, speech is too advance. Heard the Dr. bragging to another Dr. about my son, Yes I am a very proud mommy. I do call my son my little monster though, with a loving undertone too. But he is 100% boy that is for sure.

I'm here too. I just went tonight to get my celebratory tattoo....I've hit the 100 pound mark!!! So, I got a huge tattoo on my lower back..it's a butterfly with a little bit of tribal markings on the sides.... So, I am doing well...I had my tummy tuck almost 2 weeks ago...went and bought my first bikini ever.....and it looks really good if I do say so myself...hubby loves it!!! Well, that's about it from this end...hope everyone is doing well. Andrea 254/154/???

Glad to hear you are doing so well! I DEMAND pictures of both the new tatt and the bikini. I can't wait to see what the first May PS graduate looks like now! I am looking to have a butterfly lower back tattoo myself! I have about five I am trying to choose between but I want to wait until after I get my plastics out of the way in case they stretch things out. How are your youngsters? Hugs, Susan

Well, i'm here too... draggin butt lol. I finally got a new job. Started today with a dermatology practice. The day was long and boring but of course its cause i'm new and gotta learn my roll. I'm just as guilty as the next of being too busy, lazy, and any other bad excuse you can think of as far as posting. I've been a bit depressed with the knee recovery and not having a job but hopefully things are turning around. I'll make a conscious effort to do better. Hope everyone is doing well. God bless you!

Thanks for getting things started again! It is so nice to see everyones post! I am doing fabulous! Lost 161 pounds gone from a 32-34 to a size 14 almost a 12! I love my new life. My hair is starting to grow in again and I have found make-up and a new haircut. People dont believe it is me until they hear me speak. Good to see everyone! -Gerriann 341/180/155 my goal
