3 Months Post-Op - 95lbs. LIGHTER!!!

Hey fellow VBGers, I went for a 3 month weigh-in this morning and I am down 95lbs. Wanted to hit 100, but will definitley take 95. Have a great Monday!! MKJ

Wow! Thats great Mark ! Good job! I love that you have Golden Retreivers to! Aren't they special creatures! Be proud of your achievement... you earned it. Hugs Angel J

Hey. how did you lose so much so fast? I am almost 3mos.post-op and have only lost 44 lbs so far. I am REALLY happy for you though!! I f you have any tips for me let me know ok? It hardly seems like I eat anything but it's coming off slow. Keep up the good work!! If you want to you can email me at [email protected].

Well, I honestly stayed on the diet strictly for the first month, but did not exercise much (if any). When I saw the success I was having without exercise, it motivated me to start working out 4-6 times per week. I have stayed on the diet (except for a Frozen Margarita or a Wine Cooler every once in a while) and am now either riding a bike 3 miles a day or walking with my support group 2 miles a day. 4 months ago I couldn't walk around the block. I think also part of the success is where I started. At almost 500lbs (489.5), I had just lost a bit over 20% at 3 months and a week. If you started at 344 and have lost 44, then you are at 15% (or close to it). Also, I have been told by my goup that guys lose more quickly in the beginning. I don't know if that is right, but seems to be for me. Anyway, I will be updating next week. Good luck to you and keep using the tool. I can't wait until Christmas...that will be 1 year and I am hoping to be under 300 for the first time in FOREVER! Happiness... MKJ
