Topic: RE: Challenge: Countdown to Vacation!
Yeah, I'll join you!!! 
I will lose 20 pounds by June 17th (I weigh on Fridays). I'll be increasing my time at the rec center, eating more fruits and veggies, drinking LOTS more water, and making sure I keep up the protein.
Good luck to us both!!!

Wow!!! You all are doing great!
I am 5'9" and I weighed 521 when I started. I have now lost 167 pounds.
I'd like to get to 180 or less. My surgeon doesn't really have a goal for me just yet. And I am definitely gonna need some reconstructive surgery. (I prefer to call it that instead of plastic surgery, so that my insurance will cover some of it! LOL)
So anyways, to get to my goal, I have 173 to lose.

521/354/180?
Topic: RE: Any 8/13ers out there?
Wow! Congratulations! And I know what you mean about the Friday the 13th thing. I didn't even realize until someone told me right before my surgery and then I started to freak a little. I already am less than my driver's license weight and of course I had lied about it too. I can't wait to be under 190 because that's the weight I put on my drivers permit!

Topic: RE: eating more than before
Norma,
I had the same realization just yesterday! It is actually starting to scare me too. I am not only eating more through out the day, I'm also eating things that are higher in fat and calories. It is this realization alone that will probably keep me from standing on the scale today (9 month anniversary). I am totally terrified of possibly seeing more than 158 (my weight last time I stood on the scale)!
I actually feel like I'm eating more than before (WLS). I know I'm not because the portions are much much smaller, but I'm definitely eating more often. Before the WLS, I would only eat twice a day. Now I'm eating 4-5 times a day and it's always more than a cup of food per eating session.
I'm just grateful that I've realized this "issue" so that I can now deal with it and get it under control. It also helps that with the warmer weather brings more affordable fruits and veggies! I've had about all of the bananas I can stand (ate them a lot in the beginning) and I'm reading for some good stuff!
Best of luck to you!

I haven't stood on the scale in a while, but as of the last time I did, I'm down 130 pounds. According to my primary goal that was set with my surgeon, I have 18 more to lose. However, weighing at 140 will put me at the high end of "normal" and the thought of gaining 2 pounds and being considered "overweight" makes me want to get to 130-135 instead.
I'm also having eating issues. I am eating more often and eating things that are higher in fat & calories. For example, lately I've been eating steak strips (by Tyson in the red pouch) on a soft taco tortilla with regular sour cream and a handful of shredded lettuce. I'll eat this 2-4 times a day! I know I'm on my way to gaining if I don't get it under control. Thankfully, now that I know I'm having issues, I know I can deal with them before they get out of hand!
Congrats on all of the weight lost to you all!

Hello again!
I just had to tell you this, Marianne. My mom is here visiting and I like showing her the people on this site. So I showed her your pictures and she said, "Oh, my god. You two (meaning you and I) look alike!" I thought that was funny, because I am always saying how pretty you are. She said you are drop dead gorgeous, which you are. You could be a model...you just have the most beautiful face. You and your hubby make an adorable pair!
Hugs,
Denise
