Well I am at 194. I have lost 92 pounds!!! 
That is so great. I would like to lose about 30 more pounds. But if I don't lose another pound, I have lost 92 and that is great. 
I have been doing fine. I feel great and, if I do say so myself, looking great. 
Things have been going pretty good for me. I HAVE to thank God for this has truly been a blessing and all thanks to Him. I just wanted to let everyone know that I am doing fine. Until the next time..........

I know, it is not impossible to gain weight, but I was still worried. I usually gain about 2-3 pounds before my period, but this wasn't it. I was kind of worried about it. I went back up to 204. 
I wasn't too happy I will admit I even posted on the forum about it. I was told it was probably water weight. Which I am sure it was I kind of figured it was, but I still didn't want it there. Well now I am back at 199, as of this morning. 
I can't remember the last time I weighed one anything. For a while I thought I was never getting to get to onderland, but here I am. I feel great. And someone called me skinny yesterday. 
That's a first. A lady was looking for me and I was the only person that had a brown shirt on yesterday at work. And she asked a girl I work with for the tall, skinny girl with the brown shirt. Couldn't believe that one. Well I am offically 40 pounds away from my goal weight. I want to be around 160. I weighed 150 when I graduated high school. Who would have thought I would be that small again??? 
I don't know how many times I will say this, but I am so glad I had the surgery. It was the best thing for me. Sometines I still amaze myself. Well I have lost 87 pounds. I started at 286 and as of today I am 199. Who would have thought it???? Until next time.........
Well I do know that, as they say at Weight Watchers, nothing taste as good as being thin feels. Well until the next time........
We have been married for 7 years, but together for 14. We have a 7 year old little girl, a 4 year old chocolate lab and a 10 month old rottweiler. My husband is in the Air Force and I am a Social Worker. My story began 7 years ago after I had my daughter. Like most of us moms, I tried to lose that baby weight. So I joined Weight Watchers (one of the 3 times I joined). In the beginning, I was losing weight, then it stopped. So I decided to try something else. So over the next 5 years, I tried Weight Watchers again, Jenny Craig, over the counter diet pills, Nutri System, a weight loss center, Slim Fast, doctor prescribed weight loss pills, doctor prescribed meal plans and of course exercise. I got tired of all of that, so in November 2005, I joined the YMCA. My doctor put me on a meal plan with a dietian and I was on my way. My husband was in the desert so I had alot more free time. So I would work out 2 hours before I had to go to work every morning. At the time I was a teacher, so during the summer I worked out for 3 hours. I went to the doctor for a physical August 18, 2006. When I got on the scale, it said I only lost 2 pounds. So I got off the scale and got on again. Said the same thing. I asked the nurse when was the last time the scale was caliberated. I just knew it was wrong. The nurse said it was caliberated the day before. I was crushed!!! I could not believe it!!!!! April 2006 to August 18, 2006- 2 pounds?!?!?!?!?!? I thought I had been doing so good. I was sticking to my meal plan- 80% of the time. My doctor said that I should have lost more than 2 pounds even with me not doing 100% on my meal plan. I went home and cried!!! 
I just couldn't believe it. My husband called that night and I told him what happened and I cried some more. 
She does not think it is a good idea. I don't want to be overweight the rest of my life. I want to play with my daughter while she is still young. I want to be able to chase the dogs. I want to be healthy. I am tired of my knees hurting when I walk up and down stairs. I am tired of my ankles giving out or rolling all the time. I am tired of being overweight. My husband told me that I have to live this life and I have to live it for me. So I knew this is what I had to do. I went back to see my doctor and we got the wheels in motion. My insurance approved for me to see a surgical doctor. My doctor's office is Southern Surgical Associates in Greenville, NC. My doctor will be Kenneth MacDonald. My Educational Class is scheduled for August 16, 2007. I am so excited. Wish me luck in my journey. I plan to make it through. I look forward to taking this walk. I know it may be a struggle, but anything worth while takes hard work.
