5 Month Anniversary Today

Hello everyone! Today it has been 5 months since my surgery. I am down 71 pounds (as of this morning, hoping it will be a little more on my afternoon weigh in) I now weigh 180.2, does that ".2" REALLY count? I think NOT! Things seem to be going well now, I feel pretty good most of the time and I eat pretty much what I want, well, what I want that is on the diet! I only lost 7 pounds from the 12th of last month to today. UGH! BAD MONTH! Hoping that this month I'll lose at least 10 more pounds. Happy anniversary to anyone else with today as their date and I wish you all the best of luck on your weight loss! Now, Where are You with weight loss, etc.??? Tracy

Tracy, you are doing great.....keep up the good work....i only lost 5.1 pounds this past month.. i was like crap...i have been trying to take off 10 lbs a month...well like my dr said to me yesterday at least it is going down instead of up. and remember tracy it is off for good.....have a great day.....Lynda

Hi there Tracy, to you. I think you and I are alot alike in our weights and losses. We both did not start at 300 lbs or over. We will not see the faster weight loss as the other guys but we will see goal soon. so keep that in mind. It is the same as weigh****chers. I started with a friend who was over 300 lbs. On week one she lost 13 pds I lost 2. Our bodies have their own mind. You have done wonderful. I lost 65 pds from 12/15/03 to 3/04. The next month only 10,and so far this month just 5 pds. I am patient, this weight did not take overnight to come on. So as far as my weight loss I am down 80 pds.I will be celebrating my anniversary on the 15th of this month. Please just give yourself a hug and and pat on your back. You have done well......SOON GOAL FOR US. AND AND LETS TO OUR SUCESS..... CONGRADS TO YOU OVER AND OVER AGAIN GIRL.... HAVE A GOOD DAY ..LORRAINE

Happy Anniversary! We share the same surgery date. You have done so well, congratulations!! I just couldn't imagine being at 180 pounds - that might be my goal! Anyway, I started at 347 at surgery and today I weighed in at 262. That's a loss of 85 pounds. I feel great too. I can eat anything (I hate this) with no problem. Trying to keep focused with food and exercise this month as I really want to lose another 15 pounds to make it to 100 pound loss by June 12th. My new goal. Have a great day!

Hi Tracy! You are doing a great job! Some people on here (including myself) would love to be under 200 pounds. God made us all different and so each one of us is going to have different situations. Hang in there!! Jill

Happy Anniversary Tracy....I have been so blasted busy i forgot that today is my 5th month anniversary too! I am averaging about 10 lbs a month now on weight loss. So far I have lost 79 pounds and down to a size 12/14. I am feeling good except all of a sudden I am experiences that hair loss thing...YIKES I fear I may go bald! Have a super great day and your pictures look great! Keep up the great work. I am going to go treat myself to a new pair of shorts today for my 5th month anniversary....you gave me a good reason to shop! Happy Day to you.....!!!!!! Karie -79

Hello Tracy, WOW!!! 5 mos already... it's amazing. You are doing great and are indeed lucky to be under 200. It IS so hard when it slows down tho huh? I am at -7 so far this month... I go between dr appts not surgery day anniversaries, cause I dont trust my scale at home. I have one week left to lose the 3 lbs to make my 10 lbs a month goal... WISH ME LUCK!!! Shawna
