First time here- weight loss since July 25th

Hi all, just found this board. Didn't know there was a board for people that had their surgery the same month as me! Especially since I have been a member here for quite some time! ha! Anyway I have been reading posts from everyone and I see that people have lost LOTS more than me! ha! I have also read the posts of replies to those complaints and I have to say I used to feel that way, "wow I am a slow loser". But you know I have finally moved past that, and am just happy for where I am. I have 40-45 more pounds to go so I feel I am doing well. Like many of you said, when has anyone been able to say they have lost so much weight in such a short amount of time? I am thrilled with my three month progress. Well just wanted to say hello, and let's try to be upbeat about what we have lost, not what we have yet to lose! A positive attitude is key in this journey, I believe.

Forgot to add that I am down 65 pounds!

Laurie, Great job! Doesn't sound like a case of "slow loser" to me. If that's the case put me on the list. I too have lost about 68 pounds since my surgery July 3. I am just thrilled...you should be too. Keep up the great work.
