I started at 256 lbs. I have lost 116 lbs weighing in at 140. I originally set my goal to 140 but I am going to shoot for another 20 lbs (I am only 5'0). I hope to hit my goal by my one year anniversary or at least get close. My BMI right now is still considered overweight so I might as well go all the way. The past couple weeks I have been bouncing around 141-143. So on Monday I decided its time to start exercising hard core. I jogged 1.5 miles and walked 3/4 of a mile. And sure enough this morning I finally hit my goal. I believe it is up to me to lose this last 20 pounds and it is going to take some hard work. It was great to be able to jog 1.5 miles without stopping it felt great. I am very happy with my loss and feel wonderful. This has been a great 10 months with lots of rewards. Congrats on everyones great success and keep up the good work! --Marianne 5'0 256/140/120

I am not doing as well as some of you, but I'm not worried about it. I love where I am. I started at 278 the morning of surgery, down from 285 before liquid diet. I am now 172. I was wearing tight 24 pants & 3X tops. I can now where 14 pants & large tops. I am suppose to be 150 lbs per my Dr. My own goal was 175. Now will be happy with 160. Dr says everyone comes back up 10-15 lbs & that will put me right back here. My BMI still is overweight, but I am not losing sleep over it. I walk everyday. I take my vitamins religiously. I never get all my protein or water in, but keep trying. My blood work shows everything is going well. I can not eat bread or steak but so what. I have accepted the trade off. I sometimes can eat sweets, & sometimes can't. All in all, it's the best thing I ever did for myself.

Topic: RE: Hair
I can tell my hair is growing back in because I have pieces about 2 1/2 to 3 inches long in the back at my neckline. Can you pull your hair up in a ponytail? If so look at your neckline. I'd bet you'll see new growth. I hadn't really looked at products for frizz. I've never had to deal with it in my life. I guess it's worth checking into. Thanks.

Hey--- Good luck Kristy!!!!! I'm almost 10 weeks pregnant right now, and thankfully no weight gain (yet)... in fact, I've lost 5 pounds-- morning sickness ha**** me BIG TIME this time... not sure if that means I'm having a girl this time, or if it's b/c of the surgery... Keep in touch and visit us on the post-op pregnancy board- there's tons of info and a great bunch of girls! Keep up the good work! Lots of love, Dawn

That's a great description. It just doesn't want to behave. It's like fly away frizzy.

Pants - started in 26...now an 8 Shirts - started in a 3x...now a M Shoes - started in a 9.5-10...now an 8-8.5 Weight - started at 254...now 142...I've lost 112 lbs and am now only 2 lbs from goal and a new set of wedding rings! WOOHOO!!! I enjoy exercising now...and faithfully go to the gym 2x a week...I know it could be more...but right now...I'm good with 2x a week. I do a cardio dance class for an hour and boy oh boy do I work up a sweat. I'm also on my last week of the birth control patch. My weight loss is pretty stable now and DH and I would like to go ahead and start now. Wish me luck. Kristy 254/142/140
