8/16 - 11 wk check-in

I finally hit the 50 lb. mark this weekend after a long plateau. I'm thrilled! This is my 2nd goal and I'm treating myself to some hair highlighting. Sort of a combination goal reward and 50th b-day present to myself! I'm feeling better than I have in years and sure don't feel 50. Wish I had some recent pics to post. I will shortly. Congrats to all!!!! Cindy

Great Job Cindy! Glad you broke the plateu...those are awful aren't they?! Hope you have a very happy birthday! JUDY

Hello Judy. I had my surgery on 8/17, and as of Election Day, I am down 42 pounds. That is only 8 pounds away from my 50-pound goal by Thanksgiving. I hope I can lose 60 pounds by Christmas, but we'll see how the Thanksgiving goal works out first. Everyone is noticing how much better I look. I especially love the compliments from men! One man asked my husband how much I had lost....he saw me standing in a line and wasn't sure it was me! Isn't that great? I tease my girlfriends who flock around me now.....to ask how much I've lost. I say, "Have you come to see me or my incredible shrinking butt?" LOL It's all in fun, though! I am very excited! I have gone from wearing size 28 pants to wearing 14-16 pants----and I am now having to review and replace my tops and blouse wardrobe. It's a terrific feeling! Good luck to you also! ~Laura in Alabama

Hi Everyone, Sandy checking in with weight loss total. I have lost 58 lbs now but have been on a plateau for almost a week now. I have tried different strategies to break it but to no avail. I will have to just let nature take it's course and be happy with what I have lost so far. Congratulations to all of you wonderful losers! Sandy

HEY LADIES!!!! MY SAT. WEIGH-IN READ 219 FROM 271 WHICH MAKES A TOTAL LOSS OF 52 LBS AND LOSING!!!!! LET ME SAY, VICTORIA SECRET'S HAS BEEN THE MOST FUN!!!! I AM FINALLY LOOKING AND FEELING HUMAN AGAIN!!! JACQUE

Congratulations Jacque! This is an awesome feeling isn't it? I'm not able to shop in Victoria's Secret yet, but I can't wait! I bet it's fun! I took my measurements today, in the last 7 weeks (9/15-10/4), I have lost 31 lbs, and 18.5 inches. 5.5 from my bust, 5 from my waist and 4.5 from my hips, other areas weren't as significant. Keep up the great work! JUDY

Hi everyone. I started out at 307 and as of yesterday I have lost 55 pounds. My goal was to have lost 60 by my birthday (12/11) but now I have changed that goal: I would LOVE to lose 75 by that day. Keep your fingers crossed for me! Congrats to everyone for such great losses. ~Annie

Congratulations Annie! I'm sure 75 is reachable by your birthday! That is about 6 more weeks! 20 lbs in six weeks is definitely achieveable if you keep up your protein, water and your exercise! Good Luck with your goal! JUDY

Great jobs everyone and congrats to you Judy. I am officially down 25lbs from my 1 month check up with the surgeon. I will not buy a scale until my 3 month check up because I knew it would drive me crazy. Then after that I will weigh in weekly. But I can tell by my clothing that I have continued to loose. Continued success to each and everyone of you Jackie 263/238/135?
