Monday's Summary of Weight Loss.

Hello, and welcome to your Monday, January 23rd September 2005 Surgery Update. The average WLS patient on this message board had their operation on 9/17/05. We went into surgery weighing an average of 296.6 pounds. We currently weigh an average of 231.2 pounds for an average loss of 65.5 pounds. We've lost an average of 47.5% of our excess weight an 22.2% of our total weight. All together we weighed 28,178.4 pounds, or just over 14 tons, at surgery. Today we weigh 21,959.9 pounds, or just shy of 11 tons. We've lost 6,218.5 pounds, or over 3 tons. Four of us are in the Century Club, having lost in excess of 100 pounds. 17 of us have 50 pounds or less to go till goal. One of us has a mere 17 pounds to go till goal. This data is compiled from a total of 95 people who all had their surgery in the month of September 2005. I owe the group an apology, as I wasn't the best the past two weeks about updating. Next week, I think the report will show that we're, on average, over half way to goal. In the report, several people are in red, and more are in Orange. These people haven't updated in 3 or more weeks and will be dropped off the list when I update tonight. That should raise our excess loss to well over half way. As always, you can veiw the data at http://homepage.mac.com/totalriot13/SeptemberAverages.htm Thanks to all the participants.

Here is my weekly update Surgery date 9/6/2005 Starting weight 265 Current weight 188.5 Goal weight 140 I would also like to thank you for putting together this list, it is so motivating for me. It keeps me on track and whenever I feel like skipping my work-out or overindulging I just go to this page and get motivated all over again... You are awesome and I just wanted to let you know you make a difference! Anna M
