Going on the 20th...for my six month check up....

Hi October peeps...well here it is that time of month again...and my weight loss is very, very slow...about 3 or 4 pounds down from last month...but I can't complain...just wi**** would go faster...but hey it took a while to get to my high weight...take care and post your 6 month...loss and expectations...my high 285...now about 223...goal 185......Dennis

I am going on the 19th for my 6 month checkup. My highest weight was 298 now 229 hoping for 150. My weight loss is also slow. I thought more exercise would help but I"m walking 2 miles a day and still losing very slowly but I guess some is better than none plus I feel so much better. Keep up the good work and good luck on reaching your goal. Gail

I have 13 days to go until my 6 month but thought I would like to join. High 361 Srgy/weight 357 Today 258 Goal 175 99 pounds gone forever & 83 to goal!!!!! Dennis Thanks for all your post.. even on the days you are down you seem to be able to bring everyone up Good luck on your journey, Jennifer

11 days until my 6 mo appt. I was on a major slow pace until this week, I started getting on the treadmill and now just since Monday, I've lost 4 lbs! I started out at 323 am now 226 (by my scale) and my goal is 150. So only 76 more pounds to go!!! Wow that sounds great! Thanks Dennis - stay positive, you'll get there, just look at where you've come from!! Mary

Dennis~ The 24th is my 6 month surgiversary. I go for my check on the 26th. This morning I cracked -90 pounds. I have only lost 4.6 pounds so far this month, but I went on vacation for 10 days to Disney World and ate as I pleased. I came back at 179.2 which was 1.2 pounds higher than when I had left. Not too shabby in my opinion. But back on Carb addicts for 2 days and I am down to 175 already! I'd like to lose 5.4 pounds by the 24th, so I can have a 10 pound loss for the month, but if I don't, oh well. I expect to break into the century club next month. I have 30 pounds to my goal and then I will re-evalutate whether or not I'd like to lose more. Jenn 265/175/145

My 6 month is in two weeks, but that's the day my husband has his surgery, so I plan to see the doc for my check-up when Adam goes for his 1 week. So, far the loss is 87 lbs, far exceeding my expectations. I've been fortunate to not stall yet, knock on wood. I have had a couple of weeks where I had a very small loss or a small gain. Would love to lose 34 lbs. more. Hopefully, by my 30th b-day in August. Marcia

Dennis.... . Remember slow and steady wins the race. I had my 6 month already but my cir****tances are very different. Just keep doing what you know is right and you'll get there before you know it. - Ann

One week shy of 6 months and I'm down 85 pounds. From 303 to 218. My goal is 150.

Dennis you are doing GREAT!!! You have one of the highest percentages of weight loss in the group. Very few of us are over 62% to goal. I am only 55% And thats just because I have had a good week. High 392 now 270 goal 180 or there abouts ****ep changing my mind)

Dennis, Well my 6mos. is actually April 18th...but my appointment is not until April 24th at 2:30 PM in the afternoon. Four days after your appointment Dennis. My weight loss too is slowing. I'm guessing that increasing my protein and exercising more often will help restart/speed up my weight lost. I saw a medical article or brochure stating that almost everyone who has had WLS will loss 75% of the weight after surgery. I was 274/276 and now 208. It seems that you all have figured out how to set your goal weights. Just maybe Dennis and you all could help me with a goal that is realistic to discuss at my appointment. Thanks for making me think about this seriously (that is my goal weight). Dennis you rock...you're doing a super job and are preparing for your appointment too. You seem to be a good planner and getting to your goal is going to be easier since you have planned for it. Have a great 6mos. visit, Von (nickname)
