Monday Weigh in : August 12, 2008

Hey Ladies, Just wanted to post an update. I am wishing all of you doing the pouch test the best of luck. I'll catch yall next time. I've always been curious to hear how it works. Hope everyone has a great week!! The past month the scale has finally started moving again. It's been oh so slow the past several months. Day of Surgery: 255 Current weight: 150.5 Goal: 145 - This will put me at the top of the normal BMI Scale. Pounds until my goal: 5.5 Pounds lost: 104.5

Today is my 13th month since surgery. I've slowed down mostly because my exercise schedule was thrown off during the summer. Highest: 312 Surgery: 295 Today: 179

Everyone slows down, due to "diminishing returns." When you weigh 300 pounds and you lose 3% of what you weigh...that number is much bigger than when you lose 3% of 200 pounds....think about it! The rate may stay the same, even though the number of pounds loss gets smaller. Fact is, as we approach goal EVERYONE slows down. It's normal!

Consult: 368 Date of Surgery: 300 Today: 169

Shari! You are lookin' good!!! And, thanks for the reminder! Jean
