8/16ers - 42 week check in!

How's everyone....I posted earlier...I'm slacking again... I'm frustrated ladies! I'm down 108.6...how are all you other 8/16ers doing??? Judy 359/250.4/165-185?

Things are moving slow now. It is so frustrating. I had hoped to make goal by the 1 year mark but am not so sure I'll make it anymore. I'm not giving up though. I have come to far for that non sense. I am down 135.5 lbs. and have 32.5 lbs. to goal. Christie 338/202.5/170

I know Christy! I am in the same boat...I am at 190ish and stuck!!!!

Hi Judy and all the 8/16ers, I am down 104 lbs now, and feeling wonderful. I don't think I will make my goal of losing 23 more lbs by the 1 year mark.but that is ok, It may have been an unrealistic goal. I am down to a size 10 and medium-large shirt and I look pretty good. I think that to lose 23 more lbs might make me look emaciated and old. I don't consider myself at goal now but I am not sure what to set it for. I am exercising every day and really watching what I eat. I am more concerned with maintaining and toning up right now and can see the results in inches and clothing rather than numbers on the scale.

Hi all, My husband had open rny on 8/16/2004. He is down 218 pounds since then. He is really frustrated because he hasn't lost much weight over the last couple of months. He has gone from a 5X shirt to an X Large and from a size 60 pants to a size 44 and still he complains. But on the bright side we have been on the go since mid-April. We have taken several extended trips and have enjoyed all of them. Losing the weight has been good for him but he still says the surgery wasn't worth it. I don't know if he is serious or just trying to annoy me. Thanks, Kris

Still sitting at 154, went up to 159 but that was before my cycle and it freaked me right out. So I am glad they came back off. still in a 6-8. I only have 9 pounds till my goal of 145. I was wanting 138 but I came to the conculsion that I will look ill at that weight. But may get there this fall after plastics. I have my consult on July 6th and they said surgery probably in October.

To all of August Babys throw away the scale now and go by your clothes and how they fit. U will all fill so much better. Love Saralan 5 lbs from goal. have been for months

Hey all, I am down to 167 for a total weight lose of 113 lbs. I am 17 lbs away from goal but, the weight is coming off slower than any snails race. I scheduled to have another consult with my PS next week. My tummy tuck and breast lift are scheduled for July 6, 2005. Happy losing. Leslie 280/167/150

Hi Judy, I am down 96 pounds as of yesterday. I am still 30 pounds from goal. But you know what. I look fine. I am in a 14-16 and if i dont loose anything beyond the 4 pounds i want to loose before my 1 year that will be fine with me. I am glad i found your post. Was looking for you on the main board. Then i remembered you said you hang here. Glad to see your doing good. i lost 6 in the last month. i started a new job and drink a ton of water during work. I think that did it. Well, i would love to hear from you. Take care Be Blessed Gina
