New Pics on Profile

Hi Everyone, I just posted this on the main board but wanted to post over here with the December Crew also. I have added 2 new pictures to my profile from Christmas day. I'm still weighing in at 180lbs and am struggling up a few pounds then down a few pounds but have not broke that 180 mark to see the 170's yet . I have dropped from a 13 Jr's jeans and a L top to an 11 Jr Jeans and M/L tops though, I don't know how because the scale has not budged but was pleased none the less . I'm getting somewhat discouraged but truly DO know what I need to do to make the scale my friend again, I just have to find the willpower to do it. I'm very concerned with that 12-18 month losing timeframe, scared that I won't make it to my goal in the next 5 months (18 months post-op). Anyway, thanks for listening and take a look at the new pictures if you'd like. Have a great day! Mandy 320/180/*goal 145*

Hello You look wonderful my dear You can lose inches and not pounds so yes you can drop in pants and top sizes and the scale won't move. I love those ******y numbers your wearing in your pictures Donna 338/159 (another pound bites the dust )

Hey, dear Mandy! So what's not to like about being a size 11 or 13???? Sounds great. What's your BMI? Who set your goal weight? I, too, am concerned about losing these last few pounds -- I've got about 15 more to go to have a BMI of 26, which is what my surgeon says is 'ideal' weight. Other MD's may not agree with that. Mary

WOW! You look great! I too am worried that I will not lose the last few pounds to my goal. I want to be at 175. My own personal goal. I am happy to have lost what I have already but I still want to be down some more. I am just now starting to get up to work out. I hope this will jump start it again. I know how you feel!

You're looking good. I also had my surgery by Dr Nye and saw him this past week. My anniversary date was the 23rd and I have lost just at 110 pounds with another 50 to go. Like you, I'm nervous about not reaching my goal before the 18 month "losing" period is up. I've been at the same weight for about a month. Dr Nye says not to worry the weight will come off. The last time I was at a plateau, I went back to the basics.. lots of water.. protein drinks and exercise religiously. Guess that might work again. Let's try. We've come too far to stop trying. I'm so thankful for the surgery.. it has given me hope in so many ways. If it takes a little more hard work to reach goal. I'm game. C'mon girl, we can do it. R.

Wow- You look awsome! Congrats! Kelly 415/212
