WTG! That is a fantastic amount of weight loss for 3 months. It's hard to fathom losing that much that fast any other way.  I know you will be down that last 85 lbs. before you know it, just keep up the great work and don't get discouraged when it slows down. The further out you get the slower the weight comes off but it will as long as you continue doing what you are suppose to do. I am still trying to get another 10 pounds off, but it doesn't seem to be budging. I just tried the Sacred heart diet with this being the 6 th day of 7 and it turned out to be very dissapointing. I gained 5 pounds the first three days and  with today being next to the last day I am still 1/2 pound over what I started out at. How can you gain weight on mostly veggies, fruit and soup? Go figure! Yesterday and today are the only two days meat is allowed, but to keep my protein level from dropping I am still using my protein powder a couple of times a day. I thought that might be the reason I'm not losing but my husband has been doing it with me and he has only lost 6 pounds which I consider low for a man. It says you should lose between 10 and 17 pounds, lol.
Anyway, enough of my whinning You take care and keep us informed of your progress.

Hello Everyone,
            Monday is d-day and I have so much going through my head.  Is my house clean enough, will my children be ok, will I be ok.  I have had to cancel twice do to family issues and now I just want to get it over with.  But I'm still scared.  My mom keeps saying this is the one, everything is going to be fine.  At first I was sad because my kids will miss family fun day at my job on the 13th but then I thought about the fact that I am always miserable at these things because there is nothing I can really enjoy.  At 420 lbs I can't ride the rides, I've never played sports so basically I would jus****ch them and my husband run around.  I'm hoping to be up and at a decent stamina by my daughter's birthday.  She will be 5 on Oct. 23rd and she wants a Dora party.  I hope to give her the best birthday party she has ever had.  If anyone is near Duncan, SC and you have children or just love Dora you are all invited.  I'd love to meet others going through this as well.

Thanks for letting me babble,
Karen

I went to my doctor office today for my nutrition assesment. My surgery date is October 2nd

It's offical, today was my 3 month check up and I have lost 65 pounds.I feel like celebrating.  Now lets see if I can do the other 85.  Dr B said I look great and I feel great.  Yeah! Yeah!  Now I am going to buy me a few new clothes.  

See everyone on Tuesday.
