Good Morning Everyone

Hi there Maysters Good news....after being stuck at loosing 14lbs the first week and then nothing, I finally lost another 3 lbs yesterday, 3 weeks out, which makes a total of 17lbs....yay . I was so frustrated, but should have been more patient. My body knows what it is doing.

Hi there fellow Mayster! My date was 5-15 and I know - it is SO hard to be patient. I keep reaching plateaus like for days!!!!!!!!!!!! I have been at 31 lbs for a week now and then yesterday - I was up 1-2 lbs. I go to the Doctor tomorrow and wanted to have another 4-5 off but it does not look like I will. PATIENCE!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Ruth, I know how hard it is to be patient. I am trying to only weigh once a week now!!!! But it is very hard. I am 6 weeks out and lost 33 lbs. but have had from days to a week and 1/2 when the scales didn't move. But I guess the trick is PATIENCE!! Which is very hard. Keep up the good work. Pat

Hello my fellow May buddies!! I know how frustrating it can be - ya'll have seen my posts!! I'm excited to report that I had my 6 week check-up yesterday and I'm down a total of 34lbs and 28% of my body weight. WAHOO!!! Surgeon dosen't want to see me again until Mid-August and said he'd like me to be under 200 at that time. I can't imagine being UNDER 200. I haven't been there since HIGH SCHOOL almost 10 years ago!! Today I weigh 238 - I haven't seen that weight in years either. I'm in a size 18 and I'm feeling AWESOME. We're so blessed with this tool!! Congrats everyone else. We're all just chugging along and doing so well!! Megan

Congrats to you Megan!! My 6 week check up has been postponed until July 12, so other than my $20.00 Target scale, I have no "official" measure of my weight loss. I have weighed in at 273 this morning, but I was dressed, so perhaps I am a couple of pounds lighter? When I started my weight loss journey I weighed 302 (on 5/5/06) , so 27 lbs is pretty good I guess. However, 15 lbs of that was pre-surgery weight loss.
