*NEW-Sunday Weekly WEIGH-IN*

Sunday, June 12, 2005 Today is the weekly Sunday weigh-in. Weigh yourself now, and let us know how much weight you lost this week, and/or how much weight you have lost so far in your journey! Since we are all at different stages of our weight loss, let's see your numbers: (paste these below if you want w/ the answers next to them) *How much were you post-op? *How much have you lost so far? *How much is your surgeon's goal? *What is YOUR personal goal? *How far away from goal are you? I ask these things because I realize that I am NOT hundreds of pounds away from goal any longer. I think it is important for us to see daily our success to date - it helps our spirit recognize that all this effort is paying off!!!! This week, I lost 2 pounds, so I've lost so far a total of 144 pounds since July 14, 2004, and I now weigh 231. Let's hear from you!!!! And remember... no matter how much you've lost, you are a real looser, and a STAR! Spyder - 375/231; -144 pounds

Here are my answers: *How much were you post-op? - 375 pounds *How much have you lost so far? - 144 pounds *How much is your surgeon's goal? - He never set one. I will ask this week when I go to him. *What is YOUR personal goal? - I'd like to weigh 150 pounds. But I'd be happy with 180. So all together, I' have to loose 225 pounds. *How far away from goal are you? 51 to 81 pounds. Spyder One day at a time, Once pound at a time.

I'm weighing in at 155 this morning. I think that's the same as last week, so I'm holding at a 95 lbs loss. Only 6 lbs to goal!!!! Traci 250/155/149

Heya everyone, *How much were you post-op? - 231 pounds *How much have you lost so far? - 93 pounds *How much is your surgeon's goal?126 pounds My personal goal is 130 pounds. I weighed in at 138 this morning. So that is a pound loss since last week. I have 8 more for my goal and 12 for the surgeons goal. Almost there yeahhhhhh!!!! Take care all and keep up the great work.

*How much were you post-op? 262 highest, 257 day of surgery *How much have you lost so far? 96 from day of surgery *How much is your surgeon's goal? don't have one from surgeon *What is YOUR personal goal? 150 *How far away from goal are you? 11lbs I've been on a plateau for 6 weeks now bouncing from 161.5-164. I'm finally back at 161.5 this morning so no real loss for me cuz I was at 161.5 six weeks ago and bounced around all this time. I'm hoping it will go down from here and I've been working my ass off at the gym more then normal but just ending AF today so hopefully that will help too. Wish me luck, I'm so sick of seeing 160's on that damn scale i've been in them forever! Deejay 257/161/150 -96 11lbs to goal!!!
