How did you do in April?

Hello December Crew, Come out and tell us how you did in April. Are you still losing? Are you maintaining? How much have you lost since WLS? Well I had lost two pounds and ended up just losing one pound in April. The last two months before that I had lost three pounds. So the weight loss is so ssslllllloooowwwwww. I have been doing so much better on my exercising. I am trying to do at least 30 minutes 5 days a week. It's still not great but better than nothing like I was doing. Since WLS I have lost 204 pounds. I am so happy and loving life. I'm still in 12's. Seems like I've been in 12's forever. Have a great day, Diana 379/175/?

I lost 3 pounds. I am losing very slow. 1-4 pounds per month. I still have 36 pounds to go, to reach my goal weight. I, too, am in size 12. I have lost 108 pounds in total. I exercise everyday and still count calories, fat, carbs and protein levels. I am enjoying the new me. Enjoying being able to be more active. Last weekend, I danced at my dart banquet.... in 3 inch heels. !! Thats a WOW for me. Have a great day, too !!!! Karen G 294 / 186 / 150

Hi Karen, Woohooo!!! Go girlie in your 3 inch heels. That is great. I have one pair of short black boots with heels. I never wore heels before WLS. That was one of my goals. Thanks for posting Diana

April ended with a bang for me. I was on a 3 month plateau where I would lose one pound, maybe two one week then the next gain a pound. I fluctuated between 200 and 205 all through Feb, March and most of April. Then about three weeks ago i started losing again. On April 15 I was 201 then the following Sunday I broke 200 and was 198. This past sunday which was April 30th I weighed 190. Now I do have to attribute a good bit of this weight loss to the fact that I had a bad case of bronchitis for a week and no appetite for abt two weeks. I had a hard time getting in 1000 calories. Most days I was lucky I got in 800. I dont count my protein nectar drinks in my daily calorie count but I know I was lucky to get in 1000. I am riding high right now but I know in the next week or two I will slow back down to the normal 3-5 lbs a month if I am lucky. I would like to lose 30 more lbs. You guys are doing great. Size 12 WOW. I am in a size 16-18 in elastic waist pants. 18/20 in jeans without elastic in the waist. But I am not really complaining considering I started at size 36W. Michelle R OKC 368/190/160?

Hello Michelle, Congratulations on havng a great April. What a great drop in weight but not a great way do have to do it being sick. It's nice to be firmly in onederland. Thanks for posting. Take care and don't work too hard. Diana

Hi Diana April was tuff. I keep losing and gaining 3-7lbs. But I am so positive that I am going back to onderland by the End of May! I need that extra push with excercise. So I have now lost 210lbs and feel magnificent! I have been a little sad about all of the excess skin, especially my arms! I desperately want to wear cute sexy tanks and sleveless tops but not with all of my excess skin. I'm in a size 16misses and have been in them forever would love to go to 14's! Kelly 415/205

Hi Kelly, I hear you about wanting to wear those cute summer tops. I don't know what's worse the skin or the ugly PS scar. I'm also having a tuff time finding shorts long enough to hide my jiggly thighs/legs. I have two pair that come to right to my knee that look good. I've been looking for some blue jean shorts. And of course I don't want to spend a lot of money. LOL Thanks for posting it was good hearing from you. Diana

Diana, April was a surprise for me, I lost 4 pounds. I had pretty much settled that my weight loss was done (at least until I have plastic surgery) so this was a nice surprise for me. You are doing great! Take care, Mary 302/172/1??

Hi Mary, Wow 4 pounds is awesome. I am so happy for you. I am so ready to get out the 170's. I'm sure you can relate. Thanks for posting. Diana
