Roll call - how's everyone doing?
Hi Karen,
I have been doing like you and Lori, I have been cheating here and there, munching here and nibbling there, I havent been doing as much excerise but I am good on the vit and water. I am down 93 pounds I thought I would be in onederland by now, I am losing slow, slowly but surely I am coming along. I have found out nothing makes me dump I am sad to say.
Take care

I'm doing well. I reached my goal of 135 just before Christmas and I've been between 131 and 134 since then. Right now I'm 132 which is 100lbs down. I made appts with 2 plastic surgeons in April and May to discuss some issues I'm having. I'm doing well with exercise and vitamins, up and down with the food and water. I've been having some stomach pains lately so I'm trying to be a little more careful with food. If it doesn't go away soon I'll call my surgeon. Mostly I'm working on maintaining and finding a happy balance.

I'm happy with where I am 
but still have in my mind another 20lbs to go to be satisfied. Are we ever satisfied? But my happiness at finally being in a normal BMI range (ok...upper normal for my height is 24.9, I'm 24.8 but I'll take it lol) is kinda flattened by the results of the weight loss. I have lines on my face that weren't there last June, I can wear some nice clothes now...but the summer fashions are sleeveless...boobs? what are they? I am thankful I no longer have to take diabetic or hypertension medication (yup searching for positives here). So I will be off to my dr at the end of the week and start exploring plastic surgery. That is really the only big downside to this. I went for a walk with my grandson the other day and someone I used to work with and her daughter were walking towards me. I said hello no response.. HELLOOOOO... so funny...turns out they didn't recognise me. I haven't seen them for about a year. I eat what I did previous to surgery just a lot loss. Steak is a thing of the past tho. I have to pulverise it so much the enjoyment of a steak is all gone and if I dont chew chew chew I pay for it. I rejoined my local gym after a break for two months and I'm glad about that - I actually enjoy exercise now

I am doing well. I weight 190. I only plan on losing 20 more pounds. Yep, you heard that right! I will be perfectly content @ 170. My surgeon as well as my PS said that would be an ideal weight for me. No, I am not 6 feet tall! I am 5 foot 6.5 inches!
Let me tell you about my Plastic Surgery consult! It is so unbelievable to me, that I will be able to look straight down and see everything one day! I saw Dr. DiNick and he is as awesome as everyone says. He answered ALL of my questions. I will end up having to have a: Vertical Scar Abdominoplasty; or Fleur-de-lis. I am a typical apple and most of my fat/skin is in my upper/lower abdomen. I had lap RNY, but I still will end up being cut vertically. Do you know what? I do not care about that scar, as long as I end up with a flat tummy! I know that they recommend that you have 3 consults, but it is unnerving standing under the fluorescent lights in your all together with pictures being taken! The doctor was very kind. I also had my hubby there for support! Also, I want BA/BL. He recommended Saline, under the muscle, crease cut. His reasoning makes perfect sense. My left breast is a lot larger than my right breast. With Silicone you have to pre-order a specific size. With the saline you can overfill them if need be. He says that I should be able to have both procedures done on the same day. IF my blood level are good and everything else goes according to schedule.

Hello Fellow June Losers!!!! 
I am a little late getting to roll call but thought I would check in.
I am doing great after a trying holiday season - finding out that you can have 1 cookie doesn't seem like a tragedy until you realize that you can have one cookie and hour and then you start dreaming about the cookie you are going to have next hour as your eating the one in your hand!!!! Oh yes - My name is Heather and I am a food addict!!!
I did learn a valuble lesson after going too far with chocolate one night and waking up to acid in my throat and sinuses from reflux - I burnt my throat and sinus so bad i was on liquids for a week and have been on track again since.
So where am i now - I have lost 117 pounds to date - 7 in the last month according to my fitday calculator and i feel amazing. I have 40 pounds to go to my goal but I am not stressing about it becuase If i stoped losing today I would be a success.
I am working on building up my strength and muscle mass - i have been faithful to my cardio routine but now i want to build some muscle to help me keep loseing and eventually maintain.
I wake up everyday amazed at who I am and I can't wait to see what the day will bring.

Well - I haven't been on the boards all that much. In fact I haven't been all that great with my weight loss either. I had lap band surgery last June - I hope to reach onederland this week - so that is good. But the weight loss has been slow for me - and my food choices are not good. So last week I made the decision that I needed to work this better - otherwise I went thru surgery for nothing!!! I had joined a gym last October but wasn't good at going - now my goal is 4 times a week and walk 3.5 miles each time. I gave up candy for Lent - so that is helping. I want my next visit to the doctor for a fill to be a positive one!!
