8/16 - 14 week check in

Hi there! How is everyone doing this week? I'm down 68 lbs. Not looking forward to Thanksgiving. No eating frenzy this year, plus, turkey is one food I just can't handle! JUDY 359/291/175?

Hello! Congrats on your loss, Judy. Today I hit another "milestone"!!! I now weigh 239.5 lbs - no more 240's!!!!!!!!!!! I'm looking forward to spending time with my family and friends this Thanksgiving. I plan on trying everything. Hopefully I won't get sick!!! Cyndi 08/16/2004 306 / 239.5 / 150-170?

Hi Judy - I always look forward to these posts, I love reading about everyone's successes. I'm down ONE pound this week to 184. It's that time of a month, but this will be my second week stalling. I'm not able to exercise right now which may have something to do with it, but I like thinking it's the time of the month better, more hope that way! I found my measurements from when I first started losing weight for my surgeon, and unbelievably (unless of course my measuring is wrong, which it very well could be) I have lost over 100 inches throughout my body. That made me feel better than anything lately Thursday will be interesting, I pulled the Pumpkin Cheesecake recipe off the board and am planning on making that my "treat" -- Hopefully it will go down well! Take care and good work everyone! Aimée 300/245/184/145

I finally broke my plateau and was down 4 #s this past week. I'm dreading this week of all the food, but I will get by. Cindy 239/185/125

Judy, You and everyone are doing soooo great. This is an awesome surgery, I still can't believe sometimes. I am down 64 lbs. Christie

Hi other 16-thers! I've lost 52 pounds so far and just feel like this surgery is a miracle. I have replaced exercise with some of my food cravings so I exercise 7x a week. (Except today, the gym is closed on Thanksgiving) OH my - Happy Thanksgiving everyone - !! The problems that I'm having is that all my fat is sagging and it gives me a backache now and again, and my hair feels likes its molting, it's falling out so fast. Are any of the rest of you noticing that the weight seems to be coming off from the top to the bottom? Take care of yourself 16thers. I can hardly wait for next month's report.

JUDITH!!! HOPE YOU THANKSGIVING WENT GREAT! I AM HAPPY TO SAY THAT I MAINTAINED THE SAME WEIGHT THROUGH THANKSGIVING! I WAS REALLY TEMPTED TO FALL BACK INTO THE PAST EATING PATTERN BUT I AM 211 TODAY FROM 271. A TOTAL LOSS OF 60 LBS AND LOSIN'!!! GOTTA GET READY FOR THE JUNE 2005 FAMILY CRUISE!!!!
