Monday weigh-in
I had my surgery on 12/30/04, starting weight was 254 and I have been holding steady for well over a month now at 162. I'm about 5'6". My goal is 155. I'm in a size 8/10 and other than my pouchy tummy I'm very happy. I am having a tough time with water!! I don't know about any of you but its weird because I can still look in the mirror and not see what everyone else sees. Its very strange what games your brain can play.
Tracy,
You are almost to goal! I'm 5'5.5" (make sure I get that 1/2 inch in!) I would like to get to 140. I am also in an 8 sometimes 10. Water - tough one. I drink reduced carb apple juice with water in it - crystal lite. I can drink plain water and I'm fine - but I think most people have the same problem as you. I look okay to myself in the mirror - but in pictures I think I look huge - go figure. Our brains will catch up eventually - keep up the great work!

Hello Candy great to see that you are doing so well, I am happy to say that I have hit my goal ! 135 surgery date was 12/30/04 The sad part is is that I can't stop LOSING !!!!!!! Never in my life did I think that I would say that! I don't know how to stop losing weight I don't want to be a tooth pick people already tell me that I am to thin and I think that I am also. I went from 258 to 135 in not even 8 months I am happy, but getting worried! I am very pleased right now with where I am. Best wishes to you! Hope that all is well for you take care! Heather Sizemore
Hey Heather!
Congrats on hitting your goal! You've done remarkable on your weigh loss. I've heard that our bodies will stop where they want then bounce back a couple of pounds. I also heard to stop or slow down weight loss: drink with your meals and add more carbs (healthy ones) Hope this helps - I'll take those additonal losses you don't want!!
