All-right!! 6 month post Roll Call!!!!

Jasmine, you and I have the same start weight, and weigh the same now. I'm 5'6, I started at 376, I was 348 at surgery, and I now weigh 263. I'm also in a 2x, and am a 22/24. I have plateaud for the past month - have only lost 3 lbs in 30 days. This is very frustrating for me, as I spent the last week in Orlando and must have walked at LEAST 20 miles, but the scale only went down a pound. HMPH! Either way, i'll take 113 lbs! (85 since surgery 5 months ago).

I am down 95lbs and just returned from Jamacia, so life is looking very good! Marla 335/240/138

Surgery date: November 7 5'0 Was size 20 clothes pushing higher, 1 X shirt NOW size 12 clothes, size Medium shirt Finally average size, Praise God! The compliments I receive are amazing, I get them at least 2-5 times a day. People just don't recognize me. HA HA. Not everyone knows what I have done, but the ones that do don't tell the world so that makes it that much sweeter. I still have issues with food choices, and I wish I could decide what to eat. I finally found a couple of things I like but seriously I cannot live on my calorie intake for life. Congrats everyone!

My surgery was on Nov 18. Next MD apptmt isn't till mid-June and I don't have/want a bathroom scale, so I don't really know how much I've lost. BUT........as of my last MD apptmt on April 13, I was down 85 lbs.. I have my fingers and toes crossed that I have lost over 90 by this month, but we'll have to wait and see. I feel great, though. Feeling rather "slim" for the first time in a long, long time!! Size L/XL tops and otherwise, around a 14/16 depending on cut, etc.. Still have a ways to go, but I think I will get there. Have even bought some M tops and size 12 capris in anticipation of that day. Optimistic, aren't I? Happy month of May to everyone!! *Kam*

I had my surgery on 11-10-06. I started at 228 and I am now at 152. I have lost a total of 76 pounds. I am a slow loser but I am still losing. I lost 3 pounds last week. I had just recently got off a stall. Hopefully I will continue to lose even if it was slow. I started out in a size18-20 and I am now in a size 6/8/10- depends on how it is made. Mostly 8/10 in pants. M/L in shirts. I am happy that I am finally losing again. My goal is 125 so only 27 pounds from goal. Stephanie 228/152/125

Ok! I have everyone's information to here. We have lost over 2005 pounds and 334 inches for all who have responded here! Happy 6th month anniversary to you all! Keep up the great work! And live this summer! Jacki K from PA

Add another 93 lbs. to that total My 6 month surgiversary was yesterday and try as I might, I just didn't make it into the Century Club by then--but it should be just right around the corner for me. I haven't been measuring, so no ideas there--I truly regret that, but starting out a 340 lbs., I just couldn't face the tape measure! HOW I wish I had taken down those numbers!!! I have moved from a 5X into a 2X in clothes, but my belly still hangs down so low that I'm still wearing the same type of stretch-waist pants. I do have several pants that are just flat TOO big now, and MANY shirts that just hang on me. I look best in a dress, which camouflauges my sagging belly. I exercise on my elliptical in my living room, and occasionally take midnight walks in my neighborhood, which is a really nice change of pace. I get my water in most days and protein is not a problem. I love pork and fish--soft is easier still--and eat a lot of chicken, too. The biggest boost on my protein intake is the "Profect" brand drink. I water them down so they aren't too syrupy and they taste just like a kool-aid type drink...and I've even discovered that the Blue Raspberry makes a GREAT mixer with rum--but can't do that too often, now can we????

Hi November guys and gals! I have lost 80 lbs and didn't keep up with the inches. Started in 22/24 and down to loose 18 pants/shorts and XL shirts. I'm short! Feeling great, looking great I think!! Making good food choices but feeling hungry and have the munchies sometimes. You all have done so well! Keep it up~ Janna
