A 150 lb. day!!

Haven't been posting much lately. I went through a plateau that lasted more than 7 weeks (gaining and losing the same 2 pounds) and was feeling frustrated. Finally, it broke and the scale is slowly but steadily moving down again. (More calories/day, more protein and decreased exercise and I started losing again - go figure). At any rate - today I weighed 150 lbs. less than I did at my first consult on May 30, 2006. Since I lost 51 prior to surgery that means I'm only 1 lb. away from the 100 lb. mark since surgery. What a great adventure this is!! Steve

Congrats Steve on breaking the plateau. They can be a killer. I got a jump start on my recent plateau by having hernia surgery 2 weeks ago today. I dropped down to 294 since I have been home. I think the last time I weighed 2-something was junior high school. Down 223 pounds since surgery plus the 13 I lost prior for a total of 236. This has truly been a life saver for me. Patrick

Thanks Patrick. Wow - down 223 lbs. - what a great accomplishment! Hope everything heals up quickly from your hernia surgery. Steve

Nice!!! Congrats to you! I'm back to swimming on the weekends and Curves during the week. The MRI of my back ws ok so I'm good to go. I hope to be losing again soon like you. Best to you - Chris Davitt

Great to see you back.. board is dead lately. That is so awesome.. plateaus suck... hopefully you can continue on that downward trend now.. congrats

Steve, Congratulations -- yeah, I've experienced those 2 pounds up -- 2 pounds down. I'm 2 pounds from losing 50 in 3months. I have my 3 month post op this coming Monday so we'll see whether I make that 50 or not.
