August Roll Call

I am officially ten months out! This past month I only lost 4 lbs. I can't complain, as I'm only 10 lbs. to goal! I am down 129 lbs. I am losing inches, and just started wearing size 10 in the past couple weeks! I have an initial consult with a plastic surgeon next week. I probably won't be having any reconstructive surgery for quite some time, but I want to start doing my homework! My goal is to be at my goal of 155 by Nov. 12th (my next check up with the surgeon) and also to have my body fat percentage down into the 20's (it's currently 33 on his scale). Ideally I want to reach 155 by my one year anniversary on Oct. 16th! We'll see......it's moving very slow now! Kathy 294/165/155

Been a while since I posted to my fellow Oct. 2003 wls buddies, but I had time and wanted to stop by and post. I'm now averaging about 7 lbs/month, which my doctor is pleased with and calls "average" for this far out (surg. 10/22/03). I'm down 139 lbs (263 lbs from 402 lbs WOOHOO!!). Tanya, I can soooo relate to the "struggling". ESPECIALLY when PM****s me about mid month! I crave and get the munchies just like when I was preggers with my daughter. And because I live down south, I've been using the "it's too hot to go out and exercise!" excuse for the past two months, so i know that's slowed me down. But I DO plan to get my butt back to the gym and keep the pounds moving in the right direction! Continued good luck and best wishes to all! Amy
