My WL has slowed up so much, I'm lucky to see 1/2lb-1lb WL per week avg (usually it's no loss for 3wks, then 3-4lbs drop off the 4th week), but I'm still losing! morning of my WLSon 7/21/04~ 248 as of today 4/3/05~ 139 total WL~ 109lbs to goal~ 9lbs As someone else mentioned, I too need surgery for the excess skin, however, we are trying for another baby later this year. I won't be able to do anything until at least 2007/2008. (our insurance won't cover it because I wasn't "big enough" prior to WLS for them to think I *might* need PS, so we have to save up at least a good chunk to put down on it. The hospital offers a payment plan thank goodness) Traci

I don't normally participate in these threads becuz I'm such a slow loser but here goes... I started on July 21 st (same as you "On MY Way") at 311. I am now down 76 lbs to 235. My goal is to get under 200 so I have about 40 lbs to lose. I've always been slow so I really haven't noticed any difference in the last few months. I'm still slow. I stalled in March and didn't lose a thing but since the first of April I've lost 3 lbs so guess I'm still losing. At 5' 11" I feel very comfortable at 235 lbs and I don't think I look too bad either. But it would sure be nice to continue losing until I'm under the 200 mark into the onderfuls !! Congrats to you all !! This surgery has been the best thing I've done for myself in years!! Take care and stay healthy everyone!! ... Sue
