Cindy this is a great idea! ~~57 lbs ~~walking on my treadmill daily. **put a TV in front of it and when you want to watch TV, you have to excersise for it** ~~close to 60 0z (still hard) ~~I went from a size 20/22 to a size 12 and have way too much energy! ~~I've become a "Scale *****" and sometimes panic when there is no movement. BAD BAD ME! H

OMG a size 20 to a size 12 woweewow !! How did you manage that!! Start spillin the secrets, girl. Korianne -64 lbs size 28 to a size 22. lap rny 06/30/04

Korianne, I love to watch trash on TV, you know the stuff, any You are not the baby daddy show works for me. We made a new rule. When you watch trash, you must go on the excersise bike, or treadmill for the entire program. Soooo, basically I am walking/running my butt off. LOL! The more I excersise, the more water I consume and I guess that's really good for us. As of today, I am offically in a size 10. My kids made fun of my size 12 pants bagging in the butt. You should read my profile. It has been a wild ride so far and I can't wait until I can fit my size 3/4 outfits. Suddenly thanks to this surgery, it seems possible. Dr. Chebli is AWESOME! Hannah

Down 41# (out of 100 needed to lose), still wearing same clothes (18/20) but some are getting way too big. Exercise is walking (when I can find the time), drink crystal light and H20, I am never hungry and have to force myself to eat so it is a struggle to get the protein in. A lot of things don't agree & I throw up. I still take children's chewable because I like the taste, Twin Labs Cal Citrate chewable and B12 shots faithfully. I reley on EAS Carb Advant Edge protein bars. People are starting to notice and comment on the wl - I never told anyone at work about the surgery. It seems like the weight is coming off slowly but steadily. I could probably pump it up with exercise but I am still so tired. A lot of times I come home and just go to bed. The best thing is this website. Much better than the surgeon's support groups. I learn a lot, get good tips on products and have found a lot of support.

Hello I've lost a total of 40 lbs I do Taebo at least 4 days a week I go to the gym for weight training at least 3 times a week I'm not doing to good on getting my water in doing better with protein I have learn that I have to have control over what hits these lips in order to reach my goal and to maintain it once I get there. It's a life long challange that I have to be mentally ready for and I'M READY and I'm determine NOT to gain the weihgt back EVER!!!!!!!

Great post Cindy. . .. ~~Lost 54lbs.... ~~I do a step class for 35 minutes 2x a week ~~i normally get in 64 oz of water and crystal light ~~i was doing really well on this up until about a three weeks ago, I was getting in 70-90 a day but lately more like 50-60. ~~I am really a label watcher, I don't stress over fat too much but try to seriously limit sugar and carbs. ~~I was a sweet addict before and I don't dump. I haven't had anything extreme, but I am starting to feel the cravings coming on. I am trying to keep them at bay with archway oatmeal pecan cookies (they are great, try one to beat your sweet cravings, low sugar and fat) Best Wishes

~~46lbs (yaaaaaay!!!) ~~I do Taebo every morning ~~I'm gettin in atleast 32oz, sometimes its hard, some days I get in more, some days less ~~protein? I dont even keep track ~~I've learned to love myself! and that I am beautiful and that strength, courage, & wisdom have always lived inside of me! ~~biggest hurdle? I want this weight gone!!! but patience is my biggest problem right now

It's been 3 months tomorrow and I'm down 46 pounds. I feel great except that I get a muscle spasm in my back when I walk and I walk about a mile per day. I prefer Fruit2O as my beverage of choice and I drink about 32 oz. per day. I'm also attempting to increase my regular water intake as well because it appears that when I do, I lose more that week. I'm not sure the exact amount of protein, but I sure think it's enough. I'm going to do some checking at GNC or somewhere to find an easy solution to adding more protein (and liking it). Any suggestions? I still have to remind myself to eat slow and chew, chew, chew. I find I have the best luck at breakfast and lunch. I've only gotten sick after dinner and I believe it's because I'm eating too fast and not concentrating. My biggest hurdle is my hair loss!! I was using Nioxin shampoo, but when the bottle was empty, I didn't get more. Is it worth it or just a gimic? I am so HAPPY I did this and would do it all over again!!

Cindy This is great. Loss 66 lbs. went to family doctor today Exercise 3 times a week using walking tapes protein 60 Liquid including water, ice tea diet, coffee 54 oz I love the term scale ***** I never own a scale until now. Concerns for the coming months Sometimes I need something sweet. But no far I have only eaten a small amount of peanut butter. Good luck everyone for next month. Kathy
