MONDAY WEIGH IN!

Hi Marge,  Well I haven't wanted to post my weight because I am having a hard time coming to grips with the fact that I just don't lose weight really fast anymore. I got use to losing atleast 10 pounds and now I am losing may 6 or even less. I am coming on my one year and I still haven't reached my goal of being under 300. Its hard watching other get to goals they have made and I am just laging behind. I hope the new month brings on a change for me. Since February I have lost a total of 15 pounds and I was hoping for 30 or more. Maybe its not a good idea to put so much pressure on the amount of weight. Now don't get me wrong I think I have done well having lost 150 pounds but it looks like I am going to have to fight to get the rest of this weight off. But even if I stay at 15 pounds every three months for a while I will still be losing. I wanted to be down a little further than were I am but I will get there.  Starting weight 455 Last weight in which was two week ago and I had gained 5 pounds 308 This week 305 -3 Lorraine

Hi Marge It's been hot here in S. Calif too!  We turned on the air conditioner yesterday.  Our weekend was hectic, lots to do, but not enough time! This was my slowest loss week yet, I think it's because it followed 2 weeks of really good losses!  I was really hoping to be below 280 by tomorrow, but that doesn't look like it will happen. I am "officially" 3 months post op now, and for these first 3 months I've lost 62.6 lbs since surgery, and more than 93 lbs since last June!  YAY! Here are my numbers for the week: Surgery Referral Weight 368 Feb. 8, 2006 Kaiser Options Class Wt.  375  June 14, 2006 Consult Weight: 351 December 7, 2006 Surgery Weight - 343.8 Jan. 31, 07 Last Week: 283.2 Today: 281.4 - 1.8 lbs Total Lost: 93.6lbs!

Beginning Weight: 450 Current Weight: 201 Goal Weight: 175 Whoooo Hooooo! Down to a large top/ sometimes a medium and a twelve in pants!

Hey everybody,

I am pre-op and here is my weight Beginning 364 Today 344 Goal BEFORE getting approved 328 It was 87 here today Marge. It wasn't that humid and it felt kinda nice. We're looking for warmer weather the rest of the week as well. I guess we can drag out the fishin poles and the bug repellent and enjoy it.

How were you able to make those cupcakes without cheating?

Oh and I just want to say that having one stall in 15 months time is great. Most people aren't that lucky.  Plus it's probably jus****er weight so don't fret it. You have come a long long way. If you were to stop losing and never lost another ounce you would be a success.

As for everyone else that is stalling I feel your pain. We can't give up!
