Hi, I had my surgery on 08-23-2004, and i too stalled from Feb 1 to March 14 I did not lose anything, I kept going back and fourth losing and gaining the same 5 pounds, I was just wanting to reach the century club so bad, and I was stuck at 208 to 203, then finally on March 14, there it was 198, 100 pounds gone since surgery, total lost since highest weight was 125. now i am down to 195, so 103 pounds since surgery 7 months ago. not bad, but the past month and 1/2 I really thought was going to drive me crazy. i am now only 5 pounds away from being considered overweight, no longer obese, and definetely not morbidly obese anymore. My goal weight is 150, I just know this last 45 pounds is going to drive me totally crazy, but we can do it. We just have to believe and learn to deal with the times it seems, no more weight is coming off. We are all doing so well, just don't give up and it will come off. Good luck to all

You all are doing great!!!! I envy those of you who are over the 100 pound loss mark, but I will get there soon enough. Like I said, this week is the first time since the month out of surgery I have had a signifigant loss. My weight loss per week goes from 1/2 pound to 2 pounds on average, but this is OK. I have not had a plateau, and I hate the thought of doing so, especially since I am a slow loser. But, hey...slow and steady and I will win the race anyway. Just the thought of having a better chance of not putting the weight back on is a prize enough for me... Susan

YOU ARE DOING GREAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOOD FOR YOU KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK YOU ARE DOING AND YOU WILL BE THERE LYNN

I am down 116lbs. From a size 28 to a 16!! People are really noticing and I feel great. I discovered the power crunch bars that are advertised on this website and they are great!! I eat one a day for my afternoon snack. It tastes great and has the added bonus of 14 grams of protein. Glad to see that everyone is doing well...keep up the good work.

Okay, I know there are several of us here who are within a few pounds of joining the Century Club and are struggling with those last few pounds before our big milestone. How about we start an Almost-in-the-Century-Club Club (ACCC)?! The purpose would be to cheer each other on, share things that help us get the pounds moving again, and just create some specific support for those of us who are so close and yet so far from being 100 down. The condition would be that we have to be willing and able to cheer for each other, even when we feel "left behind" and bitter about it; and we have to be willing and able to stick around and keep cheering for others after we've made it to 100 and beyond. I think anyone who hasn't yet hit the Century Club should be able to join ACCC. And anyone who's already there can join as cheerleaders as well! What do you think? We can check in every week and see how things are going. If it's a bad idea or would make anyone feel bad for any reason, please say so! Otherwise, I hope it's something that others would think is helpful and encouraging. I know I'm getting awfully tired of being almost there but not quite. ---- Leslie -95
