Topic: RE: February people how you doing?
I'll be hitting my six months 10-12 lbs behind on my wl. Its dissapointing, but I have no gain this month so it could have been worse.
I'm working on upping my protein for better results. It helps but it is tough to add that extra shake or meal.

First off want to say sorry for your loss. I hope your hanging in there and all will be ok for you soon. I know any loss is a great loss and it takes time so you will definitely be in my thoughts and prayers.
As far as your loss that is so great. I wish you the best of luck on the rest of your journey.It's so great to see everyones accomplishments and to see how far everyone has come.

So far so good for me! Not quite 6 months. Just took measurements tonight, and have lost 7 inches since July 10th. This past week has been my slowest weight loss, but no gains, so I won't complain!
Work is going wonderfully, as are my workouts. I try for at least 30 minutes of cardio (usually elliptical), with my heart rate at the 80 to 90% range, followed by 30 minutes of lower intensity "fat burn", followed by a round on the weights for my bat wings and thigh wings, and emerging abs. (I know they are in there somewhere.....).
Lots of WOW'S recently. Went to a memorial for my cuz who passed unexpectedly, and hadn't seen all the family since my dad's funeral in December (pre-op). Extended family was blown away....
Jet ski fly's faster over the Canal with 100 less pounds on it!
Clothes are still a bit tricky for me. I hate shopping. Always have. I think I was a nudist in a previous life. My top is smaller than my bottom (or my abdomen). Depending on style, my tops are down from a 26/28 to a 16/18.
My jeans (yes, with zippers) are down from what had to be probably a 30 to a 20 or 22 depending on the cut. When I was wearing the elastic waist, no zipper, pull on denim jeans, I was in a 26. Now, a 16 if I want to wear that style, which I don't.
Off all HBP meds, as I was getting a bit light headed, due my blood pressure being too low.
I'm at about 56.5% excess weight loss, which is 6.5% over my docs goal for 6 months.
Looking forward to posting my 6 month surgiversary pics.
You are all doing so great! I'm proud of all of us!
Hugs-
Kathy

Every morning in Africa , a gazelle wakes up.
It knows it must outrun the fastest lion or it will be killed.

It knows that it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve.
It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle
when the sun comes up you'd better be running.
