Weekly Weigh In week of 10/1

Corinna, I hope your cold is better Happy belated birthday! :party" Glad exercise is helping you out! good 1 pound week We are going PUMPKIN picking this weekend - I can't wait (I am more excited then the kids! ) hugs, Britt

Hello! Lets see. I would like to reach 145 so that makes 7 more lbs to goal. Although the closer I get I am thinking maybe of trying for 140 but we will see. I am actually very happy where I am now. It a seems as though the more I lose the more the loose skin bothers me. Mine is all in my very lower abdomen and in my upper thighs/hips. Alright here are my stats for the week: Start weight: 268 Last week: 152 This week:152 Loss this week: 0 Total loss: 116 Everyone have a terrific week!! Hugs, Kim

Hi Kim, Cute new avatar. you are doing great - you will know what # feels right when you get there! hugs, Britt

Hello my November friends hope everyone is doing well. Well today is a special day for me, today I dropped below the 300 pound mark with today's weight of 299 pounds. The first time I met with my Doctor who did my RNY on 7/3/06, I remember him telling me he could do my surgery even at my weight at that time of 613 pounds. When he told me he could see me getting down to 250 pounds I thought he was off his rocker. Well now I know it is possible, and I WILL get to my goal.(which to answer today's question is 49 more pounds). It is getting to the point that when someone asks me how much weight I have lost, and I tell them 245 pounds in 11 months unless they know and understand about RNY surgery I wonder if they believe me, heck sometimes I don't even believe it my self. LOL. Hope everyone has a great week...............Alan Highest weight--10/2001----------- 878 First consult -----12/2005--------------613 Surgery date-11/14/2007---------544 First goal under--500---------------498 Second goal under 400-5/14/07--399 Third Goal Under 300-10/1/07 --299 Today---10/1/07-------------------------------299 Total loss from highest weight-----579 Total loss from 1st consult---------314 Total loss from surgery date------245 Total lost this week----------------------------- -12

Congrats on entering TWOterville Alan! you are doing amazing! Congrats 12 pound week! YIPPEEEEEE hugs, Britt

Alan, WTG! You should be so proud of yourself. I know the WLS gave us a tool but YOU really worked it! All of those workouts and protein shakes were well worth it. I am trilled for you. Just realizing your surgeons goal of 250 lbs is reachable is very exciting. And 12 lbs lost for 1 week at 11 months post op is unheard of. Anyway, thanks for sharing your success with us. Valorie
