slow losers club weekly stats

I went christmas shopping on Saturday and actually had a good day. My legs didn't hurt, I didn't get that shaky feeling I get sometimes. I don't feel that way very much anymore. We had lunch out. (my first time since surgery) We ordered 1 order and I just ate part of it and my husband ate the rest. We still had some left for the doggy bag. surgery date: 9/13/05 surgery weight: 301 current weight: 261 starting size: 3 & 4x or 26 & 28 now size: 1 & 2x or 24 making progress slowly but surely. 24 is the smallest size left in my closet so I guess I will have to go shopping soon. I can't wait. Carol

I feel like a slow loser, so I'm posting. Surgery Date 9/19/2005 Height: 6'4'' Surgery Weight: 427 Current Weight: 350 Begining Size: Shirts 6x, Pants 62-64. Current Size: Shirts 3x-4x, pants 52 Total percentage lost: ((427-350)/427)*100%=18.03%

As of this posting, 11 people had posted to the slow losers club. All told, the 11 people weighed in at 3092lbs pre surgery. We've lost 502.5 lbs since surgery for a total of 2589.5 lbs Thats a total loss of around 16% for all of us. The average weight loss was 46.7lbs The average starting weight was 281lbs The average current weight is 235.4lbs The percentage ranges from 11.17% to 22.54% for the individuals. With two people losing over 20%. The weight loss was between 34 and 77 pounds. I threw the figures off a bit, I'm sure. I weigh more today than all of ya'll did when you started! I "guessed" an 8% spread which seams about right.

Michael, Thanks for the summary stats! It really puts things in perspective. Connie

I am truly excited when i check our september forum! U guys r awesome, and i feel like a million bucks. i too have begun to change the way i think, the way i dress, the way i walk, the way i perceive myself. isn't it amazing what 35 lbs can do? at any rate, u guys r doing great, and giving me much inspiration. keep your heads held high, and know that to be a loser means that we all r winners!!!!!

I have had a lot of people ask me how I am losing so fast- but I feel like I am in turtle speed. I only seem to lose weight during my mestrual cycle and the rest of the time I am very stagnant. I exercise every day and I get plenty of water- the only problem I can see is maybe I am not eating enough. Anyone have some suggestions?
