I'm down 56lbs- I'd love to lose 30 more but I'd be happy to lose 20.
I love love love shopping now- there are so many more choices. I'm down from a 22 to a 14 or 16.
I feel awesome!

Topic: RE: How did you survive your fist "holiday" meal?
Hubby and I were the only one's home so we opted to NOT have the traditional Turkey day food. I did cook some schnitzel with some asparagus and corn for dinner lastnight. I had my normal serving and was happy to not have to deal with all the Thankgiving foods.

20 pounds lost during two week pre-op diet.
At my six month appointment I was shocked to know that my body fat percentage has gone from 54% to 31%! I LOVE MY RNY!!!

Well, I ate way more than I should have and ate pie! Yes, I said PIE!! I ate a piece of apple pie (not sugar free) and about four hours later I ate another piece. That stuff better not be in my house when I get home from work tonight.

Doing great - having a few issues with Hypoglycemia ( actually reactive - blood sugar drops about 45 minutes fter I eat), but it has gotten MUCH better this last month. I don't know about anyone else, but I was losing a LOT of hair there for a while - still losing it, but it isn't as bad. Had my 6 month appointment, but haven't gotten my bloodwork done yet (new PCP). I'm anxious to see what's going on with that - I definitely had a challenging time getting in all of my supplements for the last few months but now I'm figuring out what does and doesn't work for me and I'm doing a LOT better.
So far I've lost 98 lbs, and I would like to lose about 40-50 more. I have only really been walking for the last 6 months, so I am planning on joining the closest gym this week to add some weight training to the mix - it should really help.
I am loving buying new clothes - went from a 24-now a 12. It's hard to keep up wiht the clothes (especially the bottoms), but the shopping has been a blast. I've spent surprisingly little money on clothing but have gotten a lot of use out of what I've bought. Thanks gooodness for Target, Old Navy and WalMart! Thay've saved me! It's crazy that for so long I could really only shop at 4 plus-size stores. Now, the world is my oyster and I can choose from anywhere I want to visit - thousands of stores at my disposal!
Glad to hear you are both doing so well! Keep up the great work !!

I'm down 84 lbs, but we are still waiting for the blood test results to come back. What a journey. The PA said I can expect to lose 10-15 lbs more. I'm so cool with that. I sick if buying new clothes. Although its better now than it had been in the past.. I can shop anywhere now. So cool.
Keep up the EXCELLENT Work!

Well I had my 6 month check up today and it went really well.
I am down 71 pounds and all my labs were great. The doctor was pleased with my progress and the way I have healed.
SO how are y'all doing?

Topic: RE: Stoped losing weight And still have over 80 pounds to go
I have been avoiding the boards for a while because I was feeling like a failure because I was not having the amazing weightloss that others seamed to have. I have almost lost 80 pounds but when I still have another 90 to go it isn't very encuraging. I just read about people that reach their goal in 6 months or so and I am not even half way there and my weight loss has slowed down so much. I too hit a stall of about 6 weeks and just wanted to give up on everything. I am starting to lose again, only a pound here or there but it is something. I am glad I am not alone. thanks for sharing everyone.
