Update time...

Thank you, I always love your post. I jogged this morning. I have been jogging alittle here and there this morning it was alot. Then I do my regular excercise at later in the day. After I walk or jog. If you been threw what I have been threw in the last 3 months you would be in your 140s.l My daughter told me today I looked like Olive Oil Popeyes Girlfriend. Lovely..... I think it might bother her that I am so small because yesterday she said I had a big head and she is over weight. I wish she could lose her weight. I hate leaving her behind. I have been sweating all day. That means Im losing weight. I dont want to lose anymore. Hugs From Olive

Hi Donna and Everybody I thought about starting the weigh in but since I hadn't made much progress I figured... So here goes Date: 9-28-05 Height: 5'7" Starting Weight: 321 Current weight:230 (hadn't weighed this in over 25 years ! ) Goal Weight:200 I did ask at the support meeting a couple of weeks ago what was the average weight loss for 11 months out and she said usually 3 to 5 pounds. If that is the case I lost 3 pounds last month.... I started going back down my basement using my Gazelle and getting on the bike again. We'll see how that goes... Sandy

I haven't really ever posted, but I've read this board on a regular basis, following everyone's progress. Everyone here are truly amazing individuals and should be proud of their successes. It has been quite the journey for me as well.........what a year!!! date: 9/22/05 height: 5'5 starting weight: 317 current weight: 157 lost: 160 goal weight: 145 size: 10-12 I'm still losing, but it has slowed down. My doc seems to think that I'll continue to lose through the end of 2006. I will be thrilled if I stay at this current weight. I'm about 10 pounds from where I was when I graduated from high school.

Welcome Jenni It has been kind of quite on the board this month, but this is a great group. Hope you stick around. My Dr also says that I should continue to loose up to mid 2007 donna

Welcome to the board. Your doing great. I heard we lose 18 months or even longer. Some people lose up to 3 yrs. Until they reach there goal. I think it all depends on the person and how much they need to lose. I am proud of everyone on this board. They have all done so great and look so great !!!! jenni you need to join us more. bARB
