JULY ROLL CALL

Hello Everyone! Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday and a great week. As for me all is well and I'm greatful to everyone on this board. I read it daily for inspiration and information and I wish to thank each & everyone of you out there for your support. My stats: Weight before surgery: 310 Weight day of surgery: 276 Weight as of today: 171 Weight loss to date: 139 lbs From a size 26/28 to a size 10-12. So everyone lets give ourselves a pat on the back for all the hard work and achievements. Doesn't matter if you lost weight quickly or slowly, this journey is a hard one. Have a great week.

Hello All~ Everybody is doing great! My surgery was 10/13/2004. Starting weight was 290, and I am now down to 183, and total od 107 pounds. I am excited that is 13 more pounds I will be at the weight I was when I met my husband, and that is my goal (170). I met with the doc, and he thinks I will easily be losing 20 lbs. in skin. Hope all is well with everybody! Keep up the good work! Danielle

Hello everyone ;) My surgery date was 10/11/04 and I started at 282. Today I am 197, for a total loss of 85#. I consider myself to be a "slow" loser, but I'm just happy to be losing! These roll calls really help me to know that I'm not alone, there ARE others who are losing at the same pace. There were definitely times I got discouraged to see so many people losing so much faster than me, but like I said...I'm just happy to be losing! Thank God for this surgery! I would like to reach at least 170#, I've been there before and it was very comfortable to me. I never wanted to be a skinny minnie, just comfortable. Good luck to everyone! ~Stacy 282/197/170

Starting weight: 370.1 Surgery on 10/12/04: 360.1 Current Weight: 256 Loss to date: 114.1 Getting concerned I'll not make it as seem to be losing very slowly now & exercise is difficult with sore hip and bum knees. If I don't get below 200 pounds, I'm going to be disappointed. And would AT LEAST like to get to 160. Nevertheless - 114 pounds is not too shabby!
