Nice job Melissa. With your 4 pounds lost that brings our cumulative total up to 22.8 and almost half way to the 50 pound mark. I know that you are the kind of person who sets your sights on the mark and goes after it. Needless to say, I'm very pleased with the progress of our little group as we march into 2010.

Have a great February and know that you are always welcome around our table.

John

Great Melva,

As they used to say in my old Weigh****chers class....that is 8 sticks of butter gone. Two pounds along with a solid effort is a great way to start the year....keep up the great work.

With your two pounds the running grand total for January 2010: 18.8 pounds

Thanks for checking in..

John

P.S. I'm hoping that we can get our cumulative total up over 50 pounds, and maybe even get our eyes on the 100 pound mark...if we all work together.

Grammylew,

It sounds like you have a lot going on in your life right now. Two pounds with all of that going on is a very good accomplishment.

Best wishes on your success in weight loss as well as the chemo.

Hi Rhonda,

Wow...I can really feel for you. The fact that you recognize the need to get things back in check is the first step. For your own health, you probably need to set a realistic goal of where you want to get back to. At least for right now, I really feel that the 120 needs to be off the radar. I'm just throwing out a weight of 163...just for starters. If your starting weight was 264 and your normal weight was established at 120 then 70% of your excess weight would put your initial target at that 163 mark. From what I understand the 70% is considered the point of success for a long-term WLS patient.

As far as foods go, I'd really recommend looking at some of the threads since this little group was formed. I think you will find some of what you are requesting hidden in some of the very useful posts. I'd recommend that you get back to veggies and dense protein sources. That has been absolutely wonderful for me. I was originally thinking that I had ruined my pouch stoma and now since getting back on track, I realize that the failure was with me and not my tool. The likelyhood that you are experiencing the same situation is very likely.

Just an FYI...I miss Dr. Steward and I please that I was able to have my surgery done by him before he moved away. It is so sad that he no longer works in the bariatric world, but I know that he wanted to get back home to be near where he grew up and around his family.

Best wishes...

John

I went back to basics, protein , no sugar, cut off by carbs and Coke zeros! LOL

My goal is to get to 135 or so.

Thanks

I am feeling pretty good about my weight loss so far.  I joined a local fitness center and that is helping me to reach my goal.
