Topic: RE: How much weight have you lost since Jan 1st??
Hey chick, I started at 320 lbs 5'10. I had sugery on 8/25, and by christmas i had lost 81 lbs. Then in january I lost 10 lbs, February 13 lbs, March 9 lbs, April so far is 20 lbs, but I also started smoking again this month from stress, I went 7 months without smoking, and then boom!!! It hits me, and I started again, and from that I have lost alot more this month, which I would NEVER suggest that, but that has been my situation, since you asked. I want to get to 160 which means I have 28 more lbs to go, and my doc says he wants to do a tt after i get to 180, so we will see. Great post! Try one thing at a time to see if it jump starts your weight loss again, exercising, protein, etc... ((((hugs)))) Bekah

My weightloss slowed down big time since Christmas. I have lost 27lbs since Christmas. Thats an average of 6-7lbs a month. I see the advantages of it slowing down but am terrified it will stop. I have not exercised much but now that its getting warmer I know in summer I will swim alot. I started at 335 and I am down to 233. I was size 26-28 and am now in 18-20's.

Hi, good post.
I had surgery on the 28th of August, was 285 and am now 198. I have not lost as much since January, in fact I only lost 3 pounds in February. My goals have changed, my doctor says 1 to 2 pounds a week is what he wants to see. I lost 20 in total the last 3 months.
Also I think it is right what you say Jane about giving your body and skin a chance to catch up. Even though I havent lost as much in the last 3 months I feel so much better and actually glad it has slowed down...just so long as it doesnt stop! lol I want to lose another 25 to 35 pounds. I know I need to get exercising more and using those weights to help the arm flab.
Well that is my goal for the next few weeks, get back into exercising, I have slacked off somewhat...back to walking, treadmill and gym...heck I guess I better bring out the bike too...I think for me variety is important....going to switch it up....and also use those weights...even if I use them during the commercials while watching tv....
how about you guys? try not to think so much of the pounds...but things that you can do to make yourself healthier...
love luck and laughter,
Cindy

Christy,
You and I are pretty much on track...you win by a hair! lol
I am also 5'3", I was 309 before surgery on 8/31 and I am now
188.
Since Jan. 1, I've lost 45 lbs.
My surgery said he expected to me to get to 170 lbs., but I'm
aiming for 150 so I have 38 lbs. to go. The weight loss has
slowed significantly but that's okay - it'll give my body and skin
a chance to catch up.
Keep up the good work!
Jane

I think if you want to do it, you should. I know a girl who did it 8 months out and she looks fantastic. Of course, she was young. I think her skin only ended up weighing about 5 lbs. She feels better with the skin gone and that is what matters. Good luck!
