Monthly Log of my Weight Loss:
02/25/08 - 263.5 lbs day of surgery - snug size 18/20. (GOAL = 145 lbs, which should be a comfy size 10/12)
03/25/08 - 241.5 lbs (mth 1 = LOST 22.0 lbs)
04/25/08 - 229.0 lbs (mth 2 = LOST 12.5 lbs for the mth / 34.5 lbs TOTAL) - my size 18's are loose
05/25/08 - 218.8 lbs (mth 3 = LOST 10.2 lbs for the mth / 44.7 lbs TOTAL)
06/25/08 - 208.0 lbs (mth 4 = LOST 10.8 lbs for the mth / 55.5 lbs TOTAL) - comfy size 16 & almost ready to shop in "normal" stores (I'm already a size 14 at the AVENUE). With 21% lost from my starting weight, if I was still at WW...I would now have my silver key ring! Another way to look at it is that I've lost 47% of my excess weight, so I'm almost 1/2 way there!
07/25/08 - 201.5 lbs (mth 5 = LOST 6.5 lbs for the mth / 62.0 lbs TOTAL) - lost 52% of my excess weight..I've passed the 1/2way mark!
08/25/08 - 193.5 lbs (mth 6 = LOST 8.0 lbs for the mth / 70.0 lbs TOTAL) - 47 1/4 inches off my frame and a comfy size 14
09/25/08 - 187.5 lbs (mth 7 = LOST 6.0 lbs for the mth / 76.0 lbs TOTAL) - lost 64% of my excess weight!
10/25/08 - 182.5 lbs (mth 8 = LOST 5.0 lbs for the mth / 81.0 lbs TOTAL) - lost 68% of my excess weight. I'm still a comfy size 14, but I'm now a LARGE instead of an XL in tops. Even with working out, I'm now starting to notice "loose skin" on my thighs & tummy. Although I really want to loose the add'l 37 lbs, if I didnt...I'd be totally fine staying permanetly at this weight.
11/25/08 - 175.0 lbs (mth 9 = LOST 7.5 lbs for the mth / 88.5 lbs TOTAL) - lost 75% of my excess weight and 63 1/4 inches off my frame. These numbers are mindblowing! My size 14's are now loose so I think I'm going to ask for size 12's for Chanukkah 
12/25/08 - 173.0 lbs (mth 10 = LOST 2.0 lbs for the mth / 90.5 lbs TOTAL) - lost 77% of my excess weight. Not exactly the weight I would have liked to seen lost for the mth, but I also know that I slacked on my excersizing & really didnt watch what I was eating...so I will accept the slow loss as is.
01/25/09 - 172.0 lbs (mth 11 = LOST 1.0 lbs for the mth / 91.5 lbs TOTAL) - lost 77% of my excess weight. Weight loss is stabilizing (I gain/loose the same 2-3 lbs every few days), but the inches are still coming off - I've lost 73 inches from my body so far! Clothing size I'm now a 12/LARGE.
02/25/09 - 168.5 lbs (mth 12 = LOST 3.5 lbs for the mth / 95.0 lbs TOTAL) - lost 80% of my excess weight (goal is 145 lbs)....Happy Surgiversary to ME!
03/25/09 - 167.5 lbs (mth 13 = LOST 1.0 lbs for the mth / 96.0 lbs TOTAL) - lost 81% of my excess weight. I just saw Dr Roslin for my one year physical & he gave me the thumbs up on my labs (with the exception that my vitamin D is still low, so I need to keep taking prescription vitamin D once a week).
04/25/09 - 165.0 lbs (mth 14 = LOST 2.5 lbs for the mth / 98.5 lbs TOTAL) - lost 83% of my excess weight. Risized my wedding band from a size 7 1/2 down to a size 6
05/25/09 - 167.0 lbs (mth 15 = GAINED 2.0 lbs for the mth / 96.5 lbs TOTAL) - lost 81% of my excess weight. I've been very lazy with going to the gym. On top of that, my appetite has COMPLETLY RETURNED. I'm not "dieting", but I am watching what I eat. I'm satisfied that this weight (btwn 165-168) is where I ended up. Ironically, I've lost all the saggy skin on my arms, so they are looking pretty toned and I'm a comfy size 10/12.
06/25/09 - 164.0 lbs (mth 16 = LOST 3 lbs for the mth / 99.5 lbs TOTAL) - lost 84% of my excess weight (remember I gained last mth so this is just my body adjusting accordingly).
07/25/09 - 162.0 lbs (mth 17 = LOST 2 lbs for the mth / 101.5 lbs TOTAL) - lost 86% of my excess weight. Noticed that my wrist have gotten smaller - I have ALWAYS worn a size 7 1/4" bracelet & now I can wear a 6 1/2" braclet.
08/25/09 - 161.0 lbs (mth 18 = LOST 1 lbs for the mth / 102.5 lbs TOTAL) - lost 87% of my excess weight.
