Hello and goodmorning to all !! Time for our weekly roll-call to see just how great we all are doing.I also wanted to let everyone know that today & tommrow at Vitamin World (if you have one close to you)they are having a buy one get one free sale on any of their Vitamin World products. You will have to sign up for their membership card but it's free!!!!!! They have alot of different items we can use like sublinguial B-12,chewable calcium, and such,also what a great deal to get one for free!!!! So anyway here goes the scale moved 5 lbs this week yeah!!! So here are my stats. Starting weight:245 lbs Current weight:190 lbs Total lbs gone FOREVER: 55 lbs How I feel: Priceless

hey Sunny, what was your starting BMI? 218 is not as heavy as most start at. I had initially gone in to my doc's office with a bmi under 40, weight was 230 (no medical comorbidies) and got denied for WLS. After a few months, and gaining so much weight (*sigh*) I ended up going to a consult again at 255 and was approved...I'm venting...lol. Anywho, congrats on being so close to goal, just curious what your starting BMI was. take care, norma G.

hi all!! well I have lost a total of 65 lbs now. I still have allot more to go. was 378 now 313. hoping to be under 300 by Christmas or at least New Years. Sheila

Well, I'm going to join in here since I had surgery on 8/31. I have lost 72 pounds. I still have a ways to go, I started at 317 and I am now 245 but being below 250 was exciting for me, and being 217 will be nice and then 199 will be great. I wish we had a Vitamin World nearby because I seem like I'm buying vitamins all the time, AND my husband is having open roux-en-y tomorrow as well, and he will need all the vitamins too before long. I don't mind though. I am so glad we are taking this journey together!! Take care all, Tracie

Hi everyone, I was a slow loser this week, I dropped a pound for a total of 54 pounds. I personally think I didn't eat enough this week, and I know I didn't behave with my water and protein either. Guess I am in a kinda slump. I will shoot for 3 pounds next week, wish me luck. Have a great week, Susan

Hey everyone I onlt weigh monhly at the Dr's but I'm at 327 from 406 so I guess I'm a little slow but I notice the weight loss and I'm happy with that... Lisa

Good morning to all us happy losers! I, too, am excited this morning after a trip to the scale-I am down a total of 61 lbs this morning! Yippee!! I've been a slow loser all along, this is my best one week loss so far. All the best till next time! Nancy A 274/213/?

Not a bad week for being in a total pms mood. I'm down 5 lbs. Beginning weight of 306/currently 250/goal 172 For a loss of -56 lbs

I am the slowest loser here!!! I have lost 42lbs. Starting weight 253 and today at 211. I'm not complaining but man, a few more to catch up to some of you would be nice. Congrats to all of you and keep on losing! Janie

Hey Janie..... .. maybe this will make you feel better......... I go to the GYM just about 5 times a week for the past 3 months..... BUT ....... I am holding at a total weight loss of just 37 pounds.! Between slow weight loss and many complications ....... > Now low potassiun and Magnessium and a new constricture! I am getting very frustrated........
