Im down 89 pounds and my 5 month anniversary is Monday. I havent lost anything in almost 2 weeks so I am kicking it up at the gym, swimming a mile a day still and trying to get all my protein in. Hairloss is really bad but I know it will come back but my SIZE 28/30 PANTS WONT! Gone from a tight 30 to a size 18 and they are getting loose! WOOO HOOO!!! GOOD LUCK TO ALL YOU OTHER JUNERS!!

Surgery June 7th, 2004 Height 5' 6 1/2" Starting weight 252 Current weight 187 Lynn, You and I have similar weight loss stats. It does make you feel better knowing you are not alone. The last month was slower, but I still lost inches. I am wearing a 14 now, so at least, I can see a change. My hair is really falling out now. It's not real obvious. My hair just looks "very flat." Hugs, Becky

Hi Jamie, I am responding to your post because I noticed that you misunderstood what I said. First, it has been 5 months not six since my surgery. Second, I have lost a TOTAL of 131 pounds in the last 10 months but ONLY a respectable 75 since my surgery on June 11, 2004. I you read my profile, you will realize that I am one of those people who sets almost unattainable goals for herself and then actually make myself believe that I can achieve it. My favorite saying is, "Aim for the moon, if you miss, you will land among the stars" Please don't compare yourself to anyone. We are all different and we will lose at different speeds. I read further down that LeAnn had her surgery 5 days after me and has lost the same amount, Heather had hers 10 days after me and has lost 84 pounds. BJ too, had surgery after me has lost more than I have. My normal reaction would be to look at my weight loss and consider it nothing. Now, I'm just thrilled that we are all doing so well. Think about what weight we all were on June 1, 2004. We've come a long way, JUNE-BUGS ROCK!!! Hannah 5'1"~~~272 highest weight 216/141/121?

Congrats everyone. We are doing awesome!! I am on a plateau from H*** right now. Surgery day I weighed 269 Today 185 Total loss of 84 pounds Still losing hair like a mad woman, but had lots to start with, so not too much of a problem yet. Finally able to get all my liquids in during the day. Keep up the great work Heather 269/185/135
