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?

Congratulation!!!!! :bowties: Dolores

Hello everyone. This is my first post, but I've been reading yours and getting encouragement from them. Yesterday was my 6-month checkup, and it went pretty well. I wish I could have lost more weight, but I know it will come off eventually. I saw this on someone else's post, and I thought it would work well for us... it's a great thing to see where we all stack up with each other. *** Well, we are around 6 months post-op now. How is everyone coming along? 1)- What was your weight pre-op? 2)- What is your goal weight? 3)- How much have you lost already? 4)- How much total weight do you want to lose? (#1 - #2) 5)- What percentage of excess weight have you lost? (#3 / #4) My numbers are: 1) 241 2) 130 3) 68 4) 111 5) 61 Since we all start at different weights, seeing what PERCENTAGE everyone has lost puts us all on even terms. I think some "slow-losers" will see that they are not slow, they just don't have as much to lose... and others will realize that they need to step it up to catch it up!

VERY romantic guy you've got there! And he's a cutie too (as are you!) I see why you call him Superman, and he clearly thinks you are pretty super as well Thanks for sharing about your wonderful guy, Manda. And yeah, take a picture of the jewels, we wanna see!!! Love, Sue

Good girl for calling the doctor. I'm glad your feeling a bit better today, I hope you continue to improve and you just had a tummy virus or something else minor. Take care ~Sue
