I would like to know.....

Well I have been absent from this board too much..... I would like to get some info about how you are doig so far: How much have you lost? What was your highest weight? What is you BMI as today? What was your highest BMI? What is the smallest size of clothes you are wearing right now? Are you happy with your loss so far???? Why??? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As for me??? How much have you lost? 98 pounds. I have came from 305 to 207 pounds What is you BMI as today? 29 which makes me overweight and no obese. I have came from 43 "morbidly obese" What is the smallest size of clothes you are wearing right now? I am using pants 38 but starting to feel loose I thing 36 would do fine now. My shirts are L no mor X's on my clothes!!!! Are you happy with your loss so far???? Yes, very much. Lady Bug WoW posted bellow made me think about how happy I am physically talking. Why??? Well, I am not tired any more. I used to sleep a lot due to the apnea. I used to wake up feeling miserable. Now I am working out (swimming), I wake up feeling rest and fresh. I can fit in any sit I want to sit. I can fit in any space. I can face myself entering to the room having nothing to demonstrate to any body. I used to make hard efforts to show people that a fat guy could be intelligent, and funny and sociable. I feel more aware of God's company. All the resources for my WLS came from him.... Best Wishes Alex

How much have you lost? 83 What was your highest weight? 312 What is you BMI as today? 38.1 What was your highest BMI? 51.9 What is the smallest size of clothes you are wearing right now? 18 Are you happy with your loss so far???? Yes Why??? 83 pounds is alot to lose in less than 6 months so I think I'm doing pretty good. I always think I'm not losing fast enough or there must be something wrong but I'll have my 6 month check up on Monday then I'll know for sure if I'm on the right path or not.

Hi Jennifer: WoW!!! I don't think you are a slow looser. Just think that at this pace you will dissapear (sp) in less than a year. I hope that all will be o.k. on Monday. Alex

Hi Alex, Nice to see you stop by. I miss you on the board! How much have you lost? ~180 lbs. from highest and 118 lbs. since surgery What was your highest weight? ~450 lbs.

Why??? ~ 118 lbs in 6 months to me is unreal. I couldn't ask for a more better result from surgery. I feel great, Shopping is easier, My confidence is back and the biggest thing for me... I CAN WALK!!!! I've truly been BLESSED! Kay

That is very nice of you to share to us. Your accomplishments are overwhelming. I wish you all the success you expect to come to your life. It's so nice to recover our lifes back (I don't get tired to say so), that only to experience the feeling of dying slowly and then suddenly in a short term find out that we are coming back to life. The little deatail that the majority of people take for granted make us feel so good, like walking, or dressing, or looking just "normal". My deepest respect for you Kay.... Alex

Thanks for starting this post..it helps to see how others are doing & feeling as well. How much have you lost? 68 lbs What was your highest weight? 235 lbs What is you BMI as today? I think it's 31 What was your highest BMI? 44 What is the smallest size of clothes you are wearing right now? today I am wearing a pair of capris that are size 10. Of course my face is turning blue because they are tight around the waist. I really wear a size 12 comfortably Are you happy with your loss so far???? I think so, although I'd like to lose faster, but I have age against me Why??? I feel soooooo much better. I am exercising, shopping, and just enjoying life now. No more sitting on the sidelines watching life go by. I've also started wearing more of my jewelry that I haven't worn in years. I feel much more "girlie" now.

That's it Kathy!!! Don't compare your loose to others. I know that there are some of us that are loosing three times the weight than others. But we are going to loose at the pace our body needs. In that way I think all of us are winners being great loosers, not in the speed or amount of weight we are loosing but in the amount of health we are getting. Best Wishes Alex
