I was just looking at you on another post and wistfully saying damn I wish I had lost as much as she has at the same point. : ) I had my surgery almost a month before you and just got to 50 pounds this week. I hit a plateau around week 7/8 and didn't loose for two weeks then bamn lost 10lbs in about 8 days. So don't be discouraged, one you are doing great and two it will pass and the weight will come off. Also, when is the last time you lost that kind a weight in 7 weeks?

Hi to all, I am new to the group as of today. I have been reading about all of you. And boy do I feel better, some are losing more and some are losing less, but we are all LOSING! I thought it was going too slow too, but I think maybe it is the nature of the beast. It seems slow to me because it is all I think about. I have lost 40.5 # My WLS was 6-7-04 in Phoenix at the Barix Clinic. I had a great experience there and the support is great. But I think this is better. I can check in daily or whatever I need for the moral. I was having trouble with eating too fast and not enough. But it sounds like that is par for the course. I have been better recently and the weight is moving again. I look forward to hearing from you! Donna E.

That is a great idea!!!! I know that I have felt a little in a rut like the newness of everything is wearing off.... I have lost 51 # and hope to have another 35 off by THanksgiving. I am also adding the need for regular exercise (at least 4x a week) to my Thanksgiving goal as well. thanks for the motivation! and good luck everyone! 287/236/138
