Joanne: It is me Linda S. Have lost 2 lbs. am going to start the diet that is for blood type on Monday, going to get my exercise equipment in order over the weekend so I can do the stepper and the pilates machine for strength training, I am proud of you, I know you are doing good. Has been a terrible week at work, we have not signed the new contract with my customer, might lose my job by April!!! In a panic, but realize it is out of my control, give it up to God. Oh well, talk to you soon. Linda

Rae, I was wondering what happen to you . What did you have done? Beleive me I will be using the P/B several times between now and May. I am very determined to get the 50lbs off and will be exercizing hard. Since I started exercizing I don't have as much time to post but I will still hang in with all. We started a Biggest Loser at work that runs until April so I can't let my team down. Hope you heal fast. 6 months is a long time but you have the rest of your life. Hang in there and listen to the Drs. You will be up and running before you know it. Hey did you see my post ? I actually ran this week. Didn't know I could even do it. See you lighter. Joanne

Joanne: I had surgery yesterday on my foot. It was quite extensive and will put me out of commision for quite some time. I was wondering where everyone is too. I try to follow with what people are doing, but not too many people are responding to this,,perhaps they are just busy and cannnot get to the post. I am pleased that there was a 45 lb loss. That is just fantastic. I hope people are not losing hope with this...It works if you give it a try. I will be unable to weigh in as I am non weight bearing for the next several months. I will post as soon as I am able. But I am on alot of pain meds right now,,,I am also pretty bummbed that I will be unable to exercise. I am going to stick to the liquid protein as I will once again be sedentary. This saddens me more than anything. I am like you who is hoping to get the last 40 lbs off by may. But it is looking bleak at this point...but when my cast comes off.,.i will be on the trail once again,,,you know what they say about keeping a good woman down...wish you well in your gaol... RAE

Nadine, I had surgery on 4/5/05. I am down 117 lbs. I have had many plateaus and even gained 13 lbs over Christmas but that is off plus more. I am going to the gym and really uped my exercise. I want to get off 50 lbs more before May because I am having a hernia repair with Tummy Tuck. See you lighter. Joanne

Hello and congrats to all! I have lost 97 % of excess weight. My BMI is stuck at 25. Since I cannot make the last 3 lbs disappear from my thighs only...haha I am happy where I am. 97 % is still A+ right? haha just trying to look on the bright side. Seriously though if I do lose the last few lbs its gonna come right off my butt and boobs, so I would just as soon as keep em. Keep up the good work everyone!
