haven't been here in a long time- checking in

well for many of us we are now 7 months post op; how are we all doing? ~liese

I'm down 89 pounds, but the weight loss has really slowed. I'm starting to worry I'm not going to lose 100% of my excess weight. I excercise 5 days a week, so I feel like I should be losing even with the snacking problem I mentioned in the other post. Anyway, I'm hoping it's muscle weight that is slowing me down. How about you? Sherry 259/170/130

7.5 months... 82 pounds.. God bless that last pound that went away during my honeymoon over the last two weeks. Needless to say.. I found out that can eat just about anything now.. thankfully I just can't eat very large portions of anything though. Things have slowed down for me and like everyone else I'm concerned about this being it. But when you loose a pound on a 2 week vacation in Hawaii it still gives one hope that this isn't the end. Taking it day by and day and hoping that I make it to my new goal.. a size 8.. April R 264/254/172/size8esch

I'm doing well, some cravings coming back, have to watch the snacking but my body is asking for more calories. I have lost 100lbs! 275/175 I exercise a great deal and have been sticking to the treadmill and circuit weights, but these past two weeks I have been taking classes: Bodysculpting, kickboxing, cardioblast and pilates.... and believe me, a change in routinue was quite necessary! It changed everything. My weight loss seemed to have had a little push just by doing that. It definitely makes a difference. Also, I eat all day. I don't eat 3 meals a day. I have coffee, 2-3 bananas a day, an apple or cantelope (about a cup), egg beaters (equal to 1/2 or 1) with a slice of cheese, a lean cuisine for lunch and rarely do I eat dinner, 1-2 Isopure shakes a day and 2-3 lattes a day. So, honestly, I eat more than 1000 calories per day and ALL DAY! In fact, I never ate as much as I do now when I was heavy. So I say, increase good calories, fruit and veggie intake, protein shake (at least 1 a day), proteins first and exercise 5 days a week (changing routinue's every other week or so).... This seems to be doing it for me, I just hope it stays that way

Wow, seven months already! I am down 116 pounds now. Weight loss has slowed way down. I am exercising 4-5 times a week. I also can eat almost anything, so I have to be so careful. I have to watch my grazing habits. I haven't really decided on a goal yet. I know one goal of mine is to fit into a single digit pant size. The last time I fit into a single digit size was when I was in 8th grade. To me that is the ultimate "Wow" moment. 287/171/140's
