i know, and I am not the most patient person in the world!!!!! I found the prediction chart by clicking on my surgeons name...in my avatar and it took me to her forum, where it gave me the option of plugging my numbers in.....hope this helps you find it. Thanks, Holly

Holly, You've lost 96 POUNDS!!!!! It's incredible!!! Sometimes I think we all make WAY too big a deal about hitting the -100 mark. It's cool but, still. To me, the most important thing is that we're losing all this weight and, for the first time in our adult lives, we're HEALTHY! Don't put too much faith in that loss projection thing. I was never close on that scale. You're not failing. How can you think you've failed being 96 POUNDS less than you were this time last year? When is the last time you've lost that kind of weight in LESS than 11 months? You've done an incredible job. Crappy weather certainly defeats those of us who prefer to walk over going to the gym. Susie and I started walking and, though we're freezing our butts off, I'd rather be speed walking in the park with my best friend than working out at a gym. Yup, I'm still paying my monthly membership and don't go. LOL Walking is more fun to me. Acceptance is hard for all of us. We're soooooooooooo used to being put down by "small/normal" sized people that, we fail to realize we ARE normal sized now. Mark can't understand why I can't "see" me. I've been overweight since birth. You think in this short amount of time I can "see" the me they see? Heck no. Take each day as it comes. Don't look back and don't look forward. Just concentrate on TODAY. You ditched the chocolate. Good girl!!! You're doing well on your protein. You're trying to get the fluids in. So where's your failure? Just that you haven't hit -100? If I were there I'd smack you in your ever-decreasing butt. You're gonna do fine. Just keep doing what you know you have to do. These long-term stalls SUCK but they do break. I have a friend who just celebrated two years out and she's STILL losing. So, just hang in there! Please get it through your skull you ARE doing great!!! I'll be back on YIM soon. Things are NUTS here in the office. LOL TTYS! * Cyndi *

Happy April Fools Day! Funny that you were visiting the May 08 board, as I was thinking I might do the same. Man! I can't believe we're almost a year out! I REALLY wanna lose 7 more pounds by then, but the scale is not cooperating whatsoever! Take care of you, April

day of surgery: 340 today: 207 total loss: 133lbs I'm still 57 lbs away from my goal. I've been stuck for several weeks now.. grrrr! Erica

S-t-u-c-k...been that way for nearly a month: Pre-op = 259 Last weigh in = 168 Today = 168
