Topic: Six month anniversary
Today is a milestone for me. I had my RNY on 8/22/06! I feel so much better. I am on very little medication now and my blood sugar is low and stable! I am so thankful for this incredible "start over"! I am 55 lbs from my goal weight and I never thought that would be possible. I will be 50 years old in a few weeks. My only regret is that I did not have this life saving surgery sooner. I also thank God for this wonderful web site and all of the support I find here. Have a great day everyone!
Topic: RE: who took "before" pics??
I took a couple before pics (they are in my profile) I looked horrible. Never knew I looked like that.
Good work everyone. We are really using our tools!!
Topic: RE: who took "before" pics??
I took before pictures (well starting a few months before surgery) in pictures prior to that I always made them do from waist up.
Now I make it a point to do several with each passing month.

I am doing about the same as you. Yes things are slow. I know I shouldn't but I weigh myself like every other day, goes up 2 down 4 back, etc but sticking around the 156. Heard any tips of how to speed things up. I am not real sure either where my goal should be. What are you shooting for?
