Still Holding At 195

Hi Everyone: It's another Friday in Jesse's Neighborhood so here is the latest. Today marks 40 weeks since my surgery and for the third week in a row I'm in a holding pattern at 195 pounds. I'm really not worried about not losing any weight over the past three weeks because I have exceeded my wildest expectations. My surgeon's goal was for me to lose 120 pounds and my goal was to get to 225 pounds so being 195 is way beyond what we both expected. My PCP wants me to stop losing despite the fact that I'm the healthiest I've been in at least 10 years and my cardiologist is very proud of me. See, being "stuck" at 195 is not bad after all. If I lose another couple of pounds I will be happy and if I don't I will be happy. Till next time, Jesse 373/195/-178

Jesse, you are an inspiration to us all. Great job!! You look Mahvelous!!! I also said passing my and my doc goals was all added bonus, just to have the medical problems under control was well worth it all. My goal was set with doc at 190, my 9month annivesary is wed the 30th and I am at 175 and off 15 of the 17 meds. So keep up the good work! Patricia
