Today is my 2 months out day as well. I was 326 at start, 275 at surgery on 7-10-06 and last night I was 238. 88 lbs gone since start and 88 more to get to my goal of 150!

I had my surgery over 2 weeks before you and I'm down 39lbs at this point. I went through several weeks that I didn't lose anything and then over the past 2 I lost another 7lbs. I put my scale away when its not moving--it goes right to my head and I start to wonder if I'm doing something wrong. I just took my 2 month pictures and there is definitely a drastic change between month 1 and month 2--I couldn't believe it. Are you measuring inches too? It makes a difference. When the scale didn't move I got out the tape measure. I'm down 22 inches (chest,hips,waist,thighs,& arms).
