Jo, That is a great weight loss. Congratulations!! Lynn J., lap RNY 9/29/04 -96lbs.

Lynn Congratulations to you as well. 96 lbs is awesome. Tina

Jo You rock I was 6 months out yesterday and down 72 lbs. Why am I so far behind most everyone else? CONGRATULATIONS Tina Simmons

Tina, I am almost exactly on your pace. I will be 6 months out next week and am down about 70. So you are not alone! Karen

Wow! We are so close in wls dates and pounds! Maybe we are wls buddies! Congrats on your success! Keep us all posted! Leslie 312/198/170??

Congrats Jo, Lynn, and Tina! I hit 6 months yesterday and I'm at 175 down from 268 (-93). I seem to be stuck at 175, I'm thinking it's because I'm exercising so much, is that possible??? Hugs, Sandy I thought it would be more exciting to hit 6 months but it seemed like any other day. It did feel good that it was the first day of spring though. I can't wait to hit 100 pounds, that will feel exciting!

I am six months today also. I started at 241 and am at 165. That is a total of 76 pounds. It has been extremely so these past two months. I think I am eating to much and not enough meat. I tend to eat alot of soup. You are doing great! Congratulations!

We are like twins. We both had our surgery the same day with the same weight. At 6 months out, I've only lost 68 lbs. You are doing so much better than I am. I guess I need to start some kind of exercise program. I can't wait until I get into the 160's. Right now I'm at 173, but I'm still losing!!! Good luck on your weight loss. How much further do you have to go until you reach your goal?

At first I just wanted to be under 200. My next goal was 175. I kept saying that my unrealistic goal was 150. So, if I ever get there I will be very excited. My weight has just crawled these past two months. I am eating alot more and not enough meats. My favorite is soup. I feel like I ate when I eat more than four bites and soup is easiest for me. I do need to exercise. I work fulltime and go to school fulltime and have three kids 3, 9, 10 at home. I have a full schedule. I am hoping when I graduate in July that I have atleast 30 more minutes a day for myself. I would love to get down to 150. What is your goal? I just had a new pic posted. I look at myself before and never thought it was me in that picture. Sounds weird, I know. I just never saw myself that big. I think it is so weird. I think it is cool that we are twins. You are doing great also. We just need to keep on the right track. How is your eating? I am afraid that I am overeating. I eat everything but in moderation food wise except for sweets. I do take a bite of anything I want but just do not eat more than fits in my hand. That is what my doctor always said. Never eat more than you can fit in your hand. So, I do not deprive myself of anything. I just do not eat alot of it.
