52 pounds GONE

Checking in with a 47 pound weight loss. Oh....it feels so good to be giving clothes away to Vietnam Vets organization. My surgeon says this is a good average weight loss. I started out as a lightweight, with about 102 pounds to lose to get to my healthy weight goal. Regards, Maltese FLA

Surgery date 11-1 and am down -69.5 pounds..... feels good! Kim

Down 63 lbs and loving life... what a wonderful journey this has been. I look forward to the steps still in front of me.

I had surgery on Nov. 1st and have lost 65lbs! Marla

I don't know, I haven't been weighed in 3 weeks. I am avoiding the scale. After 6 weeks of nothing I decided the disappointment wasn't worth getting on the scale for. I know I must be losing again because I went down another pant size. I bought new jeans 1 1/2 weeks ago, and they're already to big. Shopping tomorrow. I will see my p.c.p. on the 15th and will let you all know then. God bless you, Annette

I also had surgery on November 4th and have lot 64 lbs. as of this a.m. I have been on a bit of a stall this week - but I guess it happens to us all. Susann

I am with Annette. I am afraid of the scale because I was losing on the slow side. I have gone from a size 24 to a size 20 so I know I am progressing. I am finally at the point where I need to buy new clothes. I had a lot of size 22's, a few size 20's, a couple in 18 and 16 and maybe 1 size 14 outfit. I don't want to buy 20's but I need clothes for work that aren't sagging. I am tempted to buy 18 although but if I hit a plateau, I may not have anything to wear that fits right.

Add me in!! I have lost a total of 73 pounds since my surgery Nov 4th and over 42 inches (not counting my arms and legs).. I was at Gabriel brothers (a discount closeout store) and bought myself a few pairs of shorts... for $2.99. You can't beat that price... and they were a 16! (Holy Moley.. it's been years since I was that size) WooHoo!!!! Jacki K from PA

Ok. I've lost 55.
