NOW IF I CAN JUST LOSE ANOTHER 52 LBS. IN 3 MONTHS! (I BE LOOKING REALLY GOOD THEN!!! LOL) GOOD LUCK TO ALL THE OTHER LOSERS! DAWN

Congratulations!! You are doing great!! Susan

HEY DAWN great to hear your check up went so well. I to am an above average looser! KEEP up the great work and that number will be growing every day and week that passes. LISA

Way to go Dawn! You are doing great. Keep it up, girl!! Leslie

Great job Dawn!!! I'm hoping to follow in your footsteps next week. Keep your fingers crossed for me, LOL!!! Sharyn

Good news Dawn!! Thanks for posting! I'm especially pleased to hear that your doctor told you are an above average loser. I have been discouraged at having "only" lost 62 pounds in the 3 months since 6/13. But I guess I'm also "above average" -- so won't be discouraged anymore!!! Connie

Dawn, that is wonderful! Everyone loses at a different pace so don't compare yourself. I was doing the same thing and was becoming depressed over it. I have lost -60 lbs. since surgery on 6/10/05 and I am proud. I could not have done it on my own. So, YOU GO GIRL!!!! Keep working that tool! Honey Bee

Whoo Hoo!! Way to Go!!! I just saw my surgeon and nutritionist last Friday for my blood panel, and am also above average. But as we all know with weight, it can change when you hit a plateau. You are doing GREAT!! I am in ONEDERLAND now and at 190. I stayed in the 200 range for a month and it seemed like forever. Everyone is different, you are UNIQUE and will not lose at the same pace as someone else. You are SPECIAL!! You will get to your goal, be patient with your body. It didn't take a month to gain all of the weight, and it won't be a month for all of it to come off. I have to remind myself of this constantly! Good luck on you next 50!! Chelle'
