Wow Mary, I am close to your stats. I am down 92 lbs. and my 7 month date was 6/3/04 but I only lost 5 over the holidays. I ate alot of 'bad' things, though not near what I normally would have, so I'm sure that was part of my problem. I too need to get serious about the exercise. I'm just so cold all the time, it seems really counter productive to then go outside in the cold weather!!!! I just freeze non stop.

I am with you. I've been stuck at the same 186 pound since Christmas. I'm stepping up my water intake and excersise and 'trying' to watch what I eat more closely. I'm giving it two more weeks, if it doesn't budge I'm going back to basics for a week. Protien shakes only..... I really want to get to 130 and that's OK for my 5'3" frame. I guess we'll have to try it and then see where it goes from there. Good luck to us both! Kattie 262/186/130

Thanks very much and yes you can have it even if it's in a dream(lol)

Not even in my dreams! lol Great Job Diva! Patti, in MI

My anniversary is this Friday the 14th and so far I've lost a total of 116 pounds. I'm down from 276 to 160 and still have another 30 to lose according to my doctor. But someone came into my office today and told me I already look like the wind could blow me away. Even my husband keeps saying "you're all skin and bones.....it's hard to believe you're going to get even smaller." I think I look good but don't think I'm as tiny as people are saying I am. I've always carried the weight in my legs and until I see skinny legs I won't think I'm thin. But the legs are getting smaller all the time and I hear from the personal trainers at the gym I use that the legs are the hardest place to lose. So far I've lost 11 inches off of each thigh which is incredible. And I've increased my fitness goals to include some running and today for the first time in my LIFE.....I was able to run a mile. It wasn't a fast mile, but I did run it all without stopping. I was so proud of myself. Then I went back to the office and walked up 4 flights of stairs without stopping and without holding onto the railing. I could NOT do either of those things prior to surgery. Life is soooo different now, it's amazing. Sorry I've rambled on so long. Congrats on your weight loss and we all know we'll keep losing, eventhough if it slows down a bit. Terry 276/160/130 someday soon
