I hit 6 months on Feb 24. I am down 110 lbs. and feel great. I will be 51 in April. I had no real medical issues before except obesity so my medical condition is really unchanged. My stamina and energy and self esteem are so much better. Best of everything to all of us.....GREAT JOB! Netta

Me too , me too.... whoohoo for us... I was deathly ill the last couple of days had a scare with some bleeding on top of really bad fever , turned out to be irritable bowel stuff, thank GOD... I'm down 124 pounds with 60 more to go... so thankful for our new tool , does it feel like 6 months to you?

Shelly: I was 222 5.5 on aug. 22nd, my surgery date. Now I am 157. 160 at the doctor's office with all my clothes and boots on. But sometimes I go up a lb. or 2 and then back down. I started on some hormones last week and my wt. has gone up from 156 and no movement for a week. My size has changed dramatically. I am wearing size 8 jeans and slacks and size 10 or 8 jackets. i started with size 18 womens jeans and 22/24 tops or 3x. Blouses still 12 or 14 to button over my (sagging) boobs. My bra size did go from 44dd to 38dd. I don't get hysterical when I stall because I notice then that my body seems to incorporate the saggy skin before the next weight loss. What is your goal weight? My doctor never really said what I "should" weigh but I'm thinking 130 or so. I think I might be eating too many carbs because the meats are still so hard on my stomach. I eat cheese, a few crackers, I don't like bread, milk hurts my stomach. I can only eat 3 or 4 oz. of anything if that and I don't feel comfortable. I get hungry and sometimes I eat an oz. of chocolate when I feel starving for sugar. Nuts are a staple for me. I throw a few in a salad or cream of wheat. Meals are generally not a pleasant experience. I like the feeling of being empty instead of full. Jo

Well, after talking to my nutritionist and some online people I have concluded that I have only stall really once. I am currently experiencing my first stall....it has lasted 1 month and counting. The other slow downs were my body adjusting to the rapid weight loss and also I wasn't eating enough...can you believe that! Hugs, Traci
