hey everyone I weigh 162 today, before BM - yea, I count before and after....lol My anniversary is Aug 15th, so still some days to lose those last 20 lbs...I know someone shake me, I'm dreaming........ Hugs to the group Tara

Hi everyone, I was 158 today...my first day back at work after a week vacation. Last week I posted 155. It is a different scale so I hope it really wasn't a 3 lb gain but the work scale is the one I have been using for the Monday weigh ins. (How much do shoes weigh?lol) So I still have 8 lbs to go until goal. I'm feeling great though and have been riding my bike a lot. It's been a wonderful year.....best for me in a long time. I go to Rochester on Thursday for my year check up with the surgeon. I had calorie testing done by the bariatric specialist I see here. Has anyone else had this done? Apparently I burn 1493 calories a day at rest. Have a great week everyone. Let's make sure we keep in touch next year too! Fran

Congratulations and thank you for your total support of this board. I usually just browse and don't post however, the posts that I read are very inspirational. I really need a new avatar, I'm down 143 pounds and wear a size 6. My camera broke and I have to wait to get it back from the repair shop to update my pictures. My one year anniversary is next week and I can't believe how this surgery has changed my life. It hasn't all been easy and I've still got changes to make. Thanks for your diligence and not giving up on people posting on this board.

Wow! What a difference a year makes!! Today was my 1st Anniversary of my gastric bypass surgery. A year and 110+ lbs later and I feel GREAT!! I know all of us will be celebrating our year anniversaries this month.... WEEEEEE ROCKKKKKKK!! I hope all of you are doing great and are feeling BETTER than great! I keep promising that I'll be here more often, but I'm running my fool head off this summer and when I get home or stop for a bit I just don't feel like sitting at the computer. Just know that I love you all and I think of you EVERYDAY!! We are an exceptional group of people and we're loser-winners!! yahoooooo!!! I love you all! God bless!! Brenda

Hello Beautiful Ladies! Glad to see you all here. I am glad to see everyone is doing well. Flo is here this week (lol) and this am I weighed 128. Tonight, 132. I always do this when she visits and I will be so glad when she stops for good lol. I ate way too many RF Wheat Thins today. Tomorrow is a new day right? My Dr. told me to maintain no lower than 140 so I guess I am still ok. I wanted to be 125 for TT. Maybe I can get there still. I KNOW I will put some on after TT because I will be immobile for a while. YOU are all beautiful and all awesome and I miss all of you! Have a wonderful safe prosperous week! Love K
