9 months out

It's been 9 months since my surgery. I weighed 516 to start. Now I weigh about 362. I have lost a total of about 154lbs. My goal is 200lbs by my anniversary date. I averaged out at about 17lbs a month since the surgery. I think the reason I've lost that much is that I work outside and I sweat alot. I do physical labor, but I've also worked out at the gym. I lost some muscle in the begining and haven't totally got back the strength I used to have. Sometimes I think that I could loose more, but my doc says I'm doing fine. Well just wanted to give an update.....Hope all is going well with the november surgery candidates. Good luck!

(((((((((WOW))))))))))) You are doing absolutely fantastic Look at your amazing accomplishment that you've made in a year. Keep it up and you'll hit your goal. I want to lose more. I thought it would be more this far out, but I have slowed to about 7 pounds a month, but that's my fault for not really exercising, which I know is wrong. You need to get a picture posted so we can see you MELTING away. Best of luck to you!!!! D 260/165/150????

Keep up the great work. You should receive a pat on the back about now from me through cyber space. Lizzi
