HI! Marianne, I was wondering where everyone was yesterday (5 month anniversary). Where has the time gone?? NO Big complications! I feel great - but seem to be MORE nauseated the last couple of weeks than before and problems with constipation. I have lost 97# and down to size 12-16 from 22-28's!!! COOL!!!!

Great Job to you all!!! I am so happy for all of you. I am not doing as well as all of you but, am still pleased with my results. I currenly am down -71 lbs. Thats at 238 from 309 which was my heaviest. I wish I could be losing faster, but I know that I have some work to do both physically and mentally. I need to buck up and get my exercise routine more regular and I need to start avoiding the salty foods. I sometimes bounce around a good 6-8 lbs of water weight from day to day. I may need to ask my Doc about this, sometimes it even gets to 10-12 lbs of water. This is pretty much my only concern, I am currently in a 18-20 from a very tight 26W. I have lost 2 of my chins....LOL! and most of my BUTT! tee hee. Now we just need to start seeing more of the belly melt away.... Keep up the good work everyone!!

well today really is my 5 month ..Wow august 31 . I have lost 89 lbs. feeling pretty good. I exercise all the time and am trying to eat right. I'm doing all I can do, the rest is up to God.. I'm scared about getting really bad skin hang. I saw this lady's pictures after she lost 223 lbs and I'm afraid that's how mine will be.. I hope my insurance will pay for it to be removed when I get done with all this. Well As I said before, It is in God's hands. Sheila

Wow Marianne, I also had surgery 8/30 and am down 77 lbs.. in a size 16 headed to a 14.. whoo hooo... I am loving the new me... No regrets... Judi 271/194/140

I feel great! Down -97 lbs. since 8/2/04. Kinda at a stand still for the last 2 weeks, but I am not discouraged. I know it will come. Going to the gym 3 - 4 times a week. So happy to read everyones doing go great. 274/177/147 - 30 pound to goal! I can do it! I can do it! I can do it!

Hey Marianne & all 8/30's: 5 months?!!!...wow...I can still remember sipping down the chicken broth and SF jello....wait, i definitely DON'T want to remember that part of this whole adventure! Better to concentrate on my size 16 pants that I fit into VERY well, hoping to get into size 14 asap! This rocks Lost this week: -5lbs (I usually just lose 2lbs a week; the only thing that I did differently was that I did not skip meals this week -- maybe that did it! I'm notorious for not eating breakfast) Lost thus far: -75 *I changed my goal weight from 155 to 145 Adios, Norma 255/180/145 (35lbs from goal!)
