Hi. I have lost 70 pounds so far. It's so fun to shop now. I am a 16 on the bottom and 12 on top. I have more energy than I had in my 20s. Karen

Hi, That is great!!! Keep up the good work. I am down 80 pounds so far and like some of you have hit a plateau. Maybe my body is making an adjustment before it continues on its journey downward

Hi all. I've gone from 390 pounds, size 32, to 285 pounds, a size 22-24. Still have a long way to go, but I'll get there! My hair is falling out a bit but I picked up some Nioxin at the JC Penney salon and I can see an improvement already with just two weeks usage. I've had to go in for an EGD with dilation three times. I could barely ge****er down without pain. My last one was just a week ago and now I can eat without pain, but I get nauseous and throw up everytime I eat. I see the doc again next week. Hopefully there is something I can take for the nausea. I'm tired of vomiting all the time. Other than that, I feel much better. My asthma is gone. My allergies are much better. My knees don't hurt. I don't wear my bi-pap for my sleep apnea anymore. If I can just stop puking and eat a little something, all will be perfect! Debbie

I have been on a three week plateau, but have now lost a couple of pounds for a total of 70 lost since surgery. I have also lost 53.75 inches. Am hoping to loose 15 more by April 30th--we are going on a cruise to Hawaii and I would love to buy an even smaller bathing suit : )

Hi all! I just past 4 months, and have lost 72 lbs. Kim, I was at a plateau that lasted about a month. I was at 54 lbs. then one day I weighed and could hardley believe it. I guess that is probably why they say, we should only weigh once a month. Life is great! Hugs, Susan

I'm down 73 pounds and down from a 24/26/28 to 16/18, and large and xls!!! Feeling great!!! Everyone keep up the good work!!!! Annissa 285/212/150

I'm doing a lot better since the last scope (my 3rd one) although I started with the vomiting again last week but started taking Prevacid again and it seems to really be working. My highest wt was 397 (April 03) and got down to 362 for surgery and now at 285. I was wearing a 38W pants and now 26W. In tops I was wearing a 5X but now 3X and 26/28. Marilyn

Hi everyone. Down 52 pounds and feeling great! Added up the inches and down a total of 35 inches (arm,chest, waist, rear-end and leg- 9 in the rear end alone-yeah!!!) I have been on the plateau for about 3 weeks, but just dropped 2 pounds today so hopefully it is over. I am losing a bunch of hair even though I have upped the protein and am taking biotin. Oh well, I know this will pass. Congragulations to everyone on their success!
