KEEPP UP THE GOOD WORK!!! BARB

Hey there, I felt I really needed to post here. I have only lost 5 lbs in 7 1/2 weeks. I exercise 6 days a week and I do feel great and went from 26W to a 14/16 regular. I am still 40lbs from goal I thought it would come off easier with the exercise unfortunatly it is showing me how bad I need a tummy tuck. I have to watch my carbs like crazy and make sure I output more than I input. Somedays I feel like I can really put away the food. But nothing like it used to be. I am down 81lbs and look like a whole different person. It is a struggle though to make it come off now. But I just keep plugging away and try to weigh only twice a week. I noticed you were a lightweight when you had the surgery at 240- I was told anyone under 300 will lose slower. Guess they were right. Oh well I feel great now and will try harder. Good luck to all.

Denise: That is just so awesome. Congrats. I still have a long way to go, but I have lost about 80 pounds so far. Tammy
