8/16ers - 33 week check in

Ok, so I'm one day early, but I have a pretty busy day tomorrow, so I don't want to skip or be late. I'm back Ladies! Thank goodness!!!! I have lost 102 lbs!!!!! WOO HOO...That is 5.2 lbs. down since last Monday. I increased my protein and my water, and cut back on my carbs!!! JUDY 359/257/185??? -102 lbs.

Great, Judy! You've inspired me to cut back on my carbs too. I think I've been eating way too many lately! And....I've been so gassy! What's up with that? I am not sure that Gas-X can be considered a food group! I'm still hanging in at -72 pounds, but I am determined to break this plateau. I've vowed this week to up my workouts to 5 times per week and my husband has even become motivated to start exercising again. Of course, I still see major changes in my body shape. My lower abdomen is starting to shrink....and other body parts are melting as well. New bones seem to appear every day! The comments and compliments come freely from friends and acquaintances....now that my wardrobe is more form-fitting and flattering. It's nice. Hopefully, by your next check-in, I'll have broken this annoying plateau! ~Laura 286/214/160

I was down a little bit again this morning. On the main board check on my post The Importance of Vitamins and Protein....so I don't need to go into detail again. You have done great so far....looks like you only have 54 lbs. to go!!!! JUDY

Hey Judy, I lost 12 lbs. in the last 2 weeks. I wi**** hadn't come off that fast as the skin is really way behind now. Oh well, I couldn't control the emergency gall bladder surgery that caused the rapid weight loss and I can't control the saggy skin either. Maybe control is over rated!! I am down 121 lbs. now.

I'm sorry about the gall bladder. I'm hoping I don't end up having that problem. I never really did take the medication for it, so I'm sure it will happen sooner or later. I'm really hoping to lose another 8 lbs. in the next 2 weeks. I was at 102.2 this morning, and another 8 lbs. will have me at 249.8 and only 40.8 lbs. from the surgeon's total goal for me. JUDY 359/257.8/165-185? -102.2 lbs.

Down 102 lbs (have tried to update my pic hehehe). I have about 32 lbs to go....just bought a size 12 dress for my grandpa's wedding this weekend!!! I cannot remember the last time I wore that size....literally cannot remember. Anyway, I need to get on track with protein and working out....right now I am not feeling well at all....I have H.pylori BUT I plan on getting back on track once I get rid of this nasty thing..... I think this is how this works...... 284/182/150

Well I'm down 148 pounds and I feel great, I've never had a complication or a worry. This is amazing I wish I would have done it sooner! Keep up the good work everyone! Jamie 308-160
