BIGGEST LOSER CONTEST!!!!

I'm a day late answering but wanted to say I'm so glad you posted this. I have sort of avoided this board thinking everyone was losing more than me and I would get discouraged if I found that to be true. Celia, I had surgery the same day as you and last monday on my 4 week anniversary I had lost 21 pounds! My pre op weight was 243 and I was 222 on MOnday. In fact I has been at that weight for over a week! But this a.m. I am at 220 so....maybe starting to go down a bit more. So at almost one month post op I am down 23 pounds. Again, thanks for posting this, made me feel lots better.

My first month I lost 29 lbs and 18 inches....so it seems normal huh?? My highest was last year at this time I was 350 and I worked out at Curves and lost 30 lbs. in 4 months and kept it off until my surgery date. 320/288/170

Started at 335 the week before WLS and was 310 at the one month mark, so I'm down 25 lbs. since surgery...

Started out at 292, down to 257. 35 lbs gone. I'm so stupid that I forgot to take measurements before surgery, but I've lost A LOT of inches. The only one I know for sure is my back (underbust?). I was wearing a 44H cup bra and just had to buy 40H's. So that's 4 inches just in my back. I've lost at least that much in my stomach and hips too. sheryl

Hi Don It's good to hear from "one of the guys"... we wondered where you have all been hiding. CONGRATS on being in the 2's!!!! I am still 11 lbs from that mark and DYING to get there so I can see a 2 for the first time in about 18 years!! By the way, I love that area that you live in! I went to college across the river, in Tarrytown, (Marymount, which is now taken over by Fordham University) and I always loved that area!

WOW I cant believe how well everyone is doing! I was at 258 day of surgery and now exactly one month today I am at 233. 25 pounds not to bad if I may say so. The best part is I have gone from a 24/26 day of surgery to a 18/20 woo hoo! Keep up the great work everyone!!!!
