I know. I know. Makes ya have to do the math..

I also would like a BMI counter on it.

Are you listening OH...?

My Goals...
1)Get losing the 4-8 pounds in July!
2)Get out of the 20 tops and LB size 2 bottoms.(will take more than the 4-8 pounds though
3)Do at least 2 hours of activities a day at least 5 days a week.

46 pounds since surgery is great.  It is even more of a SV as you lost so much pre surgery!  I hear ya on the elephant legs.  I never would of though of that but, you are right on.

The size thing drives me nuts.  I was wearing 26/ 28 depending on cut and material.  Some that size were to small.  When I started losing I pulled out old cloths and some 24 were to small and some 22/24's fits.

Good luck with the Son's wedding!

We are mostly in stalls coming out of stalls...or some of us are heading into a stall....lets not let that get us down!  What is your goal??  When do you want to accompli****  Lets play the game!!  Here is goes... Rules...you have to have 3 goals...no matter what they are... you have to come to the board and update us when you accomplish your goal... and help to motivate everyone to get with their goal...lol

My Goals...
1)  GET OUTTA THIS STALL & LOSE ANOTHER 5-10 LBS THIS MONTH!!
2)  STRESS LESS....I think this is slowing down my progress, and causing my ulcers.
3)  get back in check with my protein and log all my intake!

I KNOW YOU GUYS CAN DO IT!!  LETS KEEP LOSING!

I didn't even know there was a Feb. board... I started in Jan.2008 @ 283... I lost about 20 lbs for my sons wedding in August 2008... I started doing my 6 month pre-op thing and then got really serious Jan. 2009.... before I was approved for surgery... ..... all in all...I've lost 85 lbs. from highest weight... but I was 244 the day I went in for surgery and I'm now @ 198... I'm 5'5" and my goal is 140... but I'm content at losing 1 a week/ 5 a month... anything more than that is just wonderful.  I guess I've lost 46 lbs since surgery... I go back this week to see my surgeon... I don't think I want a fill... even though I'm not full... I think I just need to learn restraint... and learn how to tolerate head hunger... I've had 2 fills... the first was 3cc/ and the second was 2cc...my band is a 9cc REALIZE band.. and my surgeon told me it was prefilled (the line) to check for leaks during surgery... Exercise... I know I need to.. my underarms are super flabby... and my inner thighs are wrinkled... it's almost funny... reminds me of elephant legs...lol  I'm in a 16... I started at 24.. but I'll have to say.. all 16's are not alike... I've got a couple pair of jeans that are cut really small... and I'm thinking they're more like a 14 instead of a 16.. if I'd saved the tickets on them... I'd take them back... they're lowcut.. and I can just see my muffin top hanging over them...lol...

I've got another wedding (another son 7/11... and then I'm going to get serious about exercise...  I haven't went to any support groups @ the center where I had my surgery... they're on Mondays... once a month... and I work 12-14 hours on Mondays.. it's my long day.
