Thanks, Craig;) I hardly recognize myself. You look so different. What an amazing transformation!

Hello Judy, I know how you feel... I started at 383 and am down -113lbs.. I have such a ways to go yet and I have been at a plateu since 5/28. I spoke to my nutritionist and she told me that now I will truly begin to lose fat, before I was losing muscle and water. She said I should be glad it is going slow that way my skin has time to "catch up" w/ the enormous change. I also get frustrated because I see that people that have started out about where I was have lost so much more. But I am soooo grateful for what I have lost till now and for my health which has done a complete 360, I try to remind myself everyday that this journey is just that and it is different for each individual and as long as I continue to have my protein, water and vitamins and limit my carbs, I am working my tool and giving it my all. Good Luck and hopefully we will both continue to have success on our journey!

Judy, I know that it may seem like you have a ways to go, but just hang in there and look at what an incredible job you have done so far. I have lost 124lbs and am about 25lbs from goal, but it still seems lightyears away to me as well. I think that no matter where we are at in our journeys, we can all be a little impatient, because we all want to achieve our goals so badly! It will happen for you! A very dear friend of mine who had wls has gone from 432 down over 200lbs. and still going! I am always truly amazed to see her progress! Someone out there is reading your profile right now and wishing that they were half as successful as you have been. Keep your chin up, god bless, and much continued success to you in your journey

Hi Everyone, Well had the surgery little of 9 months ago start weight 342 lbs current weight 225 lbs goal weight 170 lbs pounds lost so far = 117lbs My weight goes up and down a lot thru the month, depending on the time of the month. i can go up 3 lbs in middle of my cycle and then lose 7 pounds after my cycle is over. i am losing at about 3-4 pounds a month now.... ;)

I would also love some advice I have not lost a pound since 5/28. I walk every day 30-40minutes (1.5) miles. I drink 64oz. or more each day, I limit carbs to veggies and fruits and do 1 protein shake a day. I am however loosing inches but that darn number on the scale just won't budge! I still need like 80 more lbs. til my personal goal and I am getting sooooo frustrated!!! Any advice would be great. I am considering doing that plateu buster diet for 10 day, but it is just that the instructions are so vague, like what can I cook all that meat with? Any way sorry I can't help you but maybe someone can help both of us. I feel your pain!!!
