Good morning fellow losers!! Let's begin with how well we are faring during the tempting holiday season. For me, Monday I saw my first weight loss since Thanksgiving so for that I'm excited! lost 6 pounds for a total of 84 lbs. Let's hear from YOU! Congrats to us all! Sandy B

Hello Sandy and everybody else!! Well I am still at 179, but my pants are getting bigger, so inches are going and not punds, so I am still happy. My total loss so far from surgery is 81 pounds! How about you? Nickie

Friday I had my 5 month check-up with my surgeon. It was good and bad. First off when i was weighed I weighed in at 8 pounds more than at home. My scale is the same one that I weighed myself on the morning of surgery in my house I was 290.. when i got to the hospital I was also 290. So i had confidance in my scale. until.... Friday. At the Docs' I was 8 pounds more, that was wearing jeans and a top and a panty girdle that probably weighs more than the food I eat in a day! lol!. Anyway.. Here is my number.. 67 pounds down. Thats from my scale. They said at the Doc's that there is a difference quite often with peoples scales and theirs. And he was pleased with my progress so far.. even if it's really 8 pounds more than I think. I am wearing size 16 Jeans and I know I am smaller and lighter and thats what counts. My Protein levels were low and I was told to incorporate more Protein into my diet. By shakes and food. Also No Carbs at all until I lose 75% of my weight.. I guess it's time to say goodbye to that 1/4 of a bagel a few times a week... so here it is folks... Surgery weight 290 Current weight 223 loss to date 67 pounds... peace Mo * ( And Don't let the Doctors scale get you down!!! we are all doing great!!!)

I'm truly thankful for all of you!! C Leigh

Good morning! Ugh, this holiday season has been TOUGH for me. Where I work *always* has food & candy and goodies. I've partaken a bit more than I should, but certainly nowhere near what I used to do. I'm afraid that this week will be even worse! I'm so happy I have a week & a half off for Christmas! I make much better food choices at home! Here are my stats this week: Highest weight - 360 Surgery weight - 345 Today's weight - 224 Total Loss - 136 (121 since surgery) Take care everyone, Good luck to us all! Happy Holidays, Lisa - who is off to go Christmas shopping. I can't believe it's only 1 week away!!!

Today is my 5 month surgiversary! Day of surgery: 268 Today: 200.5 (dang that half a pound!) Total loss: 67.5 Almost at my double goal- to be in the Onederfuls (1/2 pound away) and to weigh less than my husband (2.5 pounds away) Wearing size 16 jeans and large tops! No X's on my clothes anymore!!

Holiday Temptations will not be a problem for me after last Saturday. I thought one little piece of cake won't hurt. I was sick for hours. I have never thrown-up so much in my life. Too much information...I know!!! Hope you all had a great week! Day of Surgery-----275 Today-------------185 Total-------------- -90 lbs. I had been on a two week stall. This week I lost three! Finally some of the sagging fat seems to be disappearing. Let's all keeping our eyes on the next personal goal and not be tempted by the foods this season. Love y'all, Sonya in Mississippi

Hi All- I need a cheer up- I gained 2 pounds this week. I am back at 190-- or 189.6. I know this one was my fault. I was working really long hours this week. Monday from 8-10pm so we ordered in dinner at work. Tuesday and Wed from 8-10 so we ordered in dinner at work. Thursday until 7pm and Friday until 6pm. Since I was so busy at work, I didn't have time to eat. I ended up having protein bars for breakfast and lunch. And no time to exercise this week. I actually hit 1000 calories twice this week. I also had went to a party last night-- drinking wine and eating at the same tme. I did not eat much, but I know I shouldn't be eating and drinking How are all of you handling the holidays and work stress? I could really use some advice.

215 Still at the same weight this week, but I think i'm losing inches this week. PLus with all the ****ies and fudge around I knew this was going to be a hard time of year.
