18 weeks and 2 plateaus later...

Down 80 lbs but things have slowed down quite abit but still losing. I feel great! Surgery date 6/4/03

Sounds like you are doing really great! Keep it up. My surgery was 6/3/03 and I am down 77 pounds. I am actually enjoying going clothes shopping for a change. Of course I can't buy much for it does not fit for very long. But that too is a good thing.

Thanks Tonya, I finally broke down and went shopping but I did wait for a great sale. Size 16's are fitting well for now. I haven't seen the misses sizes since '93! I would like to lose 100 lbs before my 6 month anniversary and then another 20 til goal. I know the holidays are going to be rough but I WILL make it. Keep losing girl and good luck.

Dear Karen, You are doing great! Thanks for the update. It has given my own weight loss a baseline. I had the surgery five days after you and have lost 73 pounds, so you are doing absolutely fabulous.
