Visiting from January board

Hi guys. I am going overseas to visit friends from boarding school and to visit my hubby's family. Well needless to say I am double the size that I was last time they saw me. I had surgery in Jan and I am going on this trip in June (5 months). I figured if anybody could tell me what to expect @ 5 months, it would be you guys! Here are the stats. I started at 284 lbs and I am 5'2. I excercise 5 days a week and try to follow the rules. It has been 8 weeks and I have lost 44 lbs. Okay guys, whats the verdict? Thanks sooo much!

I am 5-1/2 months out and have lost 91 lbs... Pam 5'2" 282/191/145

check out the thread by Michael Malone. He has all the stats on what everyone has lost here. I am just 5 months out and have lost 84 #- but some have lost a lot more and some a lot less. donna

Hello Valerie, I had my surgery on September 20th, 2005. As of this morning: 3/2/06, I have lost a total of 100 pounds. Thanks!

I forgot.. I was 298 before my surgery. Michelle Allard
