Very Exciting for Me! How about you?

Hi LisaMarie, I had surgery six months ago. I am down 70.2 pounds and I am wearing a size 12. (I soon hope to be in a ten) I feel good and I have had No complications at all--I still have a way to go to get to a normal BMI--right now I am at 27BMI--my orthopedic surgeon wants me close to the low end of the (BMI) scale--I have severe osteoporosis--so I just can't carry this weight--without bones fracturing. BUT --Slowly but surely --I am losing and I hope to reach my goal by my one year anniversary Hope everyone else is happy with their loss--I realize that I lose slowly--but I feel much better--mentally and physically. Be Blessed , Marian S.C. 242.4/172.2/goal 125-130??

Wow! I just had to say, AWESOME JOB EVERYONE!! Such an inspiration!

LisaMarie! What an accomplishment. You must feel so delighted. A big hearty congrats to you and all of you who have posted such fabulous results. I am scheduled for surgery on 4/27/06, and have lost 34 pre op pounds which I seem to be maintaining at this stage. Catch me next year with some bigger numbers! Hugs, Amy

Everyone is doing GREAT!!!!!!! I had surgery on 11-7-05 and am down 69 lbs. My personal goal is 115, the surgeon had no specific weight goal for me but better health was stated. I want to have my BMI in the normal range so that is 120 and below. I've slowed down a bit but this nicer weather will get me going again. Keep up the excellent work everyone! LindaM
