Wondering how all the December 2007 people are doing?

I love hearing how great we are all doing! I have lost 72lbs since surgery and a total of 141lbs since Sept. I started in a size 5XL and I just bought a size Large t-shirt... WOW! I have about 30lbs to go to reach goal, and I NEED MAJOR plastics and look forward to losing this gut! My weak point is exercise... I haven't found something that I do/enjoy doing/will do daily..... No wonder I'm such a slow loser! I think I have dumped once, and that was this week (finally, I know I actually DID have surgery!).... otherwise, life is GREAT!

Hi all, I had surgery Dec 4th. I have lost 73 pounds and went from a size 22 to 14 I am 35 pounds from goal. I do also have some flab issues that need to be removed . I recently joined a gym, its slow going but I figure some is better than none. All my labs are well. I have never had a problem with hair loss. Great job to all Tracy

Awesome topic!! Its great to see how everyone is doing (even though I know we aren't supposed to "compare" lol) I had surgery on 12/27. So far I'm down 67lbs and have 32 to go! I started this journey in a 22 pant & 1X/2X top ... I am now proud to say that I can wear a 10/12 (snug!) and a Med top!! I never thought I would lose weight this quickly and I am hoping that I will be able to tone it up ... I truly don't want to undergo any future surgeries to "tighten up!" lol

Hi, I had surgery on 12/28/07 and I'm kinda stuck at the same weight now for 2 weeks. It's so dissappointing to jump on the scale and see no movement. Oth er than that all is well

I thought this was a neat topic. It encourages me to see how everyone else is doing that had surgery about the time I did. I had surgery on Dec. 21, 2007. I have lost 88 pounds since surgery and 102.8 altogether. I still need to lose 67 pounds. I have gone from a size 26/28 to a 16 and sometimes a 14. Need MAJOR plastics on my upper arms! Keep up the good work everyone! Marilyn

I have lost 75 lb - gone from a 24 to a size 16/14 depending on top or bottom. I am having a hard time because I am having some chronic pain and it is causing me to really reach out to food - I feel the strong pull towards my addiction and also a strong pull toward any other addiction that would like to take food's place. I am anxious about the addiction part. On the other hand - physically I can't believe the difference in how good I feel. It truly is like night and day. I have started an exercise program and am loving/hating it. I am also delving into more exercise that I enjoy - dance related stuff. It it pretty unappealing for a 35 year old flabby pants but it is what I like and I am willing to make an ass of myself if it means I can find something I can do for the rest of my life. My breasts are very small for my size - and I don't think I have much skin at all that doesn't have stretch marks on it. My upper thighs and my upper arms are serious problem areas and either I will have to learn how to dress it or I am going to have to have surgery to repair the damage there. My breasts ...... well.....it is really not good. I will definitely have surgery for my breasts at some point. Ok...well...now you know all! I hope everyone is finding what they were looking for and let's keep doing this - creating a community of people who are experiencing the same thing and finding support in each other. Jen

I had rny on Dec.28 2007 and so far i have lost 110 #----the weight loss seems to be slower now----as far as excerize -- water arobics and and some walking. I feel much better still have my achee joints but it is alot better. Diane

I had my surgery the same day and have lost the same! I do not exercise like I should but other than that am doing great. I had a TT 4 weeks ago so I am looking forward to the next year and pray that I can continue to do as well. Congrats to you!!!!!
