Hi all, Sorry I haven't been on here earlier but this has been a busy week so far. Last night I had a support group meeting. Tonight my Brownie troop had a meeting and then I went to the Y and joined. Tomorrow I meet with a personal Trainer. I get 3 free visits. I'm going to exercise tomorrow and get in the pool. Hope all is doing well on week 2 or 1 where ever you are in this challenge. If you haven't posted your weight for the week please do so. Good or bad we want to hear so we know how all is doing. remember you are not alone. We are all in this journey together. See all lighter. Joanne

I just figured mine out and I have lost 73% so far and I am 8 1/2 months out. I have lost a total of 146lbs so far. keep up the good work everyone. Anita B 420/274/220 hopefully soon

Hi Helen! Yeah, I've lost 129 pounds from my highest weight which was in 1999. I started Aitkin's (never heard of low carb before that) and lost 130 pounds over a two year period and then I maintained that over almost two years. THEN I got divorced and depress ate myself back up 65-75 pounds, battled that for a while and got approved for WLS. My consult for that was at 244 and since then I have lost 63 pounds. So I am basically back where I had gotten myself the first time. It's kind of funny but I've noticed that if I use the Weight Loss Planner on this site and punch in starting weight of 244~ I am really running sadly behind. However, if I punch in the starting weight of 310, I have been dead on target every month~ if I just pretend that I picked up at the end of month three which was where I *should* have reached 244. Maybe bodies remember and simply insist on losing in a set pattern? One of these days, your body is going to have to give up and let go of that weight! (That's what I keep telling mine. )

You are doing wonderful!

Hey, almost the same percents and pounds to go! You are doing so wonderful! For me, the goal weight might shift as I go, I just figure that 150 = a normal BMI for me. Thanks for answering!
