Topic: RE: July roll call
Tanya,
Get your labs checked girl! Being so tired isn't a good thing. What kind of vitamin/mineral suppliments do you take?
My weight loss slowed down quite a bit last month but in the past two weeks I'm down 4.5 lbs so I hope to make my monthly goal of 8 lbs. Overall I'm down 131 lbs. I added more carbs and increased the amount I was eating in order to slow my weight loss down. (Skin needed to catch up a bit.) But it almost stopped instead! So now I'm experimenting with carbs to see what I can do to keep losing. I'm only a pound from my doctors goal and only 11 lbs from my fantasy goal! Wearing solid 14's and even bought a size 12 bathing suit yesterday.

Tanya - CONGRATS 
I'm also doing the happy 
for you. Three cheers 
for you!!!
I've had a slow month in my loss, I'm only down a pound, but I think I lost inches, but I won't know for sure until I go in for my weigh in at Curves on the 7th.
I saw the surgeon in June also and I'm only 20 lbs till goal. He thinks that I will most likely exceed the 70% loss of excess, and possibly lose about 85-90% of my excess weight. Wouldn't THAT be grand!
I had to have another scope to check the status of my ulcer, and low and behold they found out that I also had a stricture. He said it wasn't too bad, but if I had waited another week or two I probably would have had some problems. But for now.... crisis averted.
Hopefully July will be a better loosing month for me, I'm realy going to kick up the protien, water and exercise... I wasn't too good in June what with going on vacation and then having a health scare with my puppy, exercise was not on my list of priorities.
I'm also going to make an appointment with the plastics doctor (hopefully he can see me this month) to talk about getting the girls lifted. I'm going to hold off on the tummy tuc****il next spring as I want to be at goal and at a steady weight before I get the tummy done.
Well - have a happy 4th. Take care and until next month....

I was just checking in on you and seeing how you are doing. I know it is hard to keep a stiff upper chin when you see other****ting goal already or in single diget sizes but do not compare!!! You are doing great. We did not get this size overnight and certainly will not become stick figures overnight either. Look at all the good things that have happened since WLS and thank your lucky stars. Email me if you need to talk because I can relate. I still have 15 pounds to go to get under 200 pounds and I am chomping at the bit.

Topic: July roll call
Ok my buddies this is kinda weird but I posed this message yesterday and today it is gone!!! 
Oh well.
It that time of the month again ( he he he that still sounds funny even today) for us to take a moment to toot our own horn and share our weight loss, loss of inches, cool things we can now do or anything that you want to share about.
I for one am down 110 pounds since Oct and 140 since my highest. I have now lost more than my husband weighs fully dressed!!!! That just cracks me up!!! 
I have had a good and bad month all rolled into one. I have continued my slow slow slow weight loss but that is fine. I went to my PCP and my Thyroid is off again and that would explain why I feel like I am the walking dead. I normally have hypothyroid and take meds for that but because of the weight loss I am having a hard time controlling the levels and have been hyperthyroid for several months and let me tell anyone who does not have this little diddy of a medical problem it is like you are walking dead!! I never never never nap during the day and I can barely stay awake. Today I even took a nap 
and still feel like I could sleep for a year and still be tired. Hopefully soon it will get leveled off and I can start to feel normal again.
I am now in a size 16 on the botton and a 14/16 on top. I know that others are smaller but I started at a 32 so I am happy. I would like to see a size 12 on the bottom and like would be grand! I even went to try on clothes at Gap the other day and let me tell you all I felt like an alien walking in the door. 
I thought everyone was staring at me wondering what I thought I was doing in a normal store. Well I was looking around at all of the Barbie clothes and thinking I could not get my left thigh in this stuff when I came across a cute demin three tiered skirt. I found the biggest size (size 16) and thought I would see what happened. Well I took it into the dressing room and tried it on and low and behold the thing was TOO BIG!!!!! When I walked out and handed it to the sales clerk I tell you my head was held sooooo high. I thought I can shop here if I want too! I belong!!! It was moment to reflect and 
thank the big GUY!
Anyway I am a bit long winded today, sorry, but lets all share aour wonderful accomplishments

I too have joined the century club in about mid June. I am currently down 100.7 pounds.
I have had some real struggles during the last 8 months but I am trying to maintain good health and keep up a good diet.
I have been fighting depression because of the current financial problems that I have been dealing with. Which makes me wonder if I will ever be able to afford the plastic surgery that I so desperately want.
Congratulations on your loss. Hopefully we continue to lose.
