Dawn...hey we don't want to win a beauty contest...listen to yourself on how you feel off 27 meds...how fabulous is that...my god...that is sooo worth it just for that......I am climbing mountains, riding bikes and walking, walking..could not even get off the couch before...at 280...as it was so hard ...so this alone is so worth it....I am taking it pound for pound and giving myself the 18 months....as long as it goes down...I also started at a light weight...starting weight 280....current weight 225.8...shooting for another 40 pounds...so it will get harder...the less we have to lose the harder it gets...I have lost 60 percent of my weight...in only 5 months and 4 days...so it is not that bad if you look at it that way, right , the happy and don't give up it will happen, it has to...this will work... Dennis

YOU ARE SO RIGHT, MR DENNIS ... ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT HERE ... I'M HEALTHIER, FOR SURE ... OFF ALL MEDS EXCEPT HEART MEDS & WLS CAN'T HELP THAT SO EVERY MEDICAL CONDITION I HAD IS GONE THAT CAN BE HELPED. I AM 66.00 #s LIGHTER ... THAT'S A MAJOR BUNCH OF WEIGHT. I'M JUST GETTING STARTED ON EXERCISING, SO I'LL SEE BIG DIFFERENCES IN MY BODY AS I CONTINUE WITH THAT. 'NUFF POUTING ... BACK TO HARD WORK & POSITIVE OUTLOOK! YOU'RE A SWEETHEART ... A TOUGH SWEETHEART , BUT A SWEETHEART FOR SURE! GOD BLESS YOU DAWN & NICK

I think the ones who have lost 100 or more pounds weighed alot more than we did to begin with. I think it all has to do with how much you have to lose as to how fast you lose it. I may be wrong about that but I have seen a pattern. Gail

YOU COULD BE RIGHT, MS GAIL ... I HAD A PROBLEM IN THE 1st COUPLE MONTHS WITH MY HEART ISSUES SO I MAYBE THAT SLOWED ME AS WELL ... WHO KNOWS? I HAVE 140 - 162 #s TO LOSE & I'M NOT GIVING UP TILL I DO THAT. WHAT ARE YOUR WEIGHT STATS? GOD BLESS YOU DAWN & NICK SW 279.80 CW 214.00 GOAL = 140 - 118, HOPEFULLY AROUND 125

Hi Gail...what was your starting weight...I am considered a light weight...so it will take longer I guess...please update on your stats...good luck.......we can do this... Dennis

Well, this is day 5 for me. Today I had: protein shake, B= 1 egg 3 pieces of bacon, S=carb master yogurt L=sm.wendy's chili & 2oz. of cheese S=sugar free pop sickle and for dinner I'll probably do tuna and cottage cheese. I've had 64 oz of water today and walked 1 mile this morning and will walk another this afternoon.I don't know how much I have lost since starting cause I refuse to weigh until after 10 days. Good luck everyone. Gail
