Hi Stacy, I have had a tought time also, surgery on 10/5 & have lost 71 pounds & had some complications that have made my loss slower. I've been told the lower your BMI to start with the slower your loss. Also, it seemed when I was being very restrictive with my calories I was barely losing, when I started allowing myself to eat more healthy calories I started to lose much faster, sometimes very low calorie intake makes your body think you are starving & it fights to hold onto every pound. Just a thought... good luck!

Way to go Joyce!!! Good for you and keep it up!!!! I myself just became a member of the Century Club 3/8/05. For me it feeels great to be under 300 lbs. My next MAJOR goal is to get under 200 but I will take baby steps until then. Hugs, Presh in NY 395/295/160ish

whoo hoo, me too...........beginning- 323, now-243, total 80. I went from a size 26-28 to a 20. I feel so anxious for summer to come and have fun with my kids. Good luck to all, and take it easy on the roller coaster downhill so you can enjoy the ride longer

Hi Jo, I'm only down 66 from 10/21/04. Feeling great, loving life and the sort of smaller me. I get frustrated alot too. Especially when I go 2 or 3 weeks without losing but then I'll hit that week where I drop a few pounds and I'll get a little more bounce in my step. Don't worry we'll make it. Melissa

That is wonderful news to hear. Congratulations! I understand how great it is to finally be wearing smaller sizes. Keep up the good work! Robin G 10/26/04 249/168/130
