Marge, I need to jump back to the board and get more involved! Bad food choices over the holiday has shown me the light! Although my gain is small, its still a gain. Seeing the scale go up not down slapped me back into reality! Beginning weight 328 Surgery weight 328 Before the holidays 137 This week..... 142!!!! Im back on track making the right choices... Now if I can just get those 5lbs back off.. Amber

Here's my numbers for the week: Beginning weight: 396 Surgery weight: 386 Last week: 223.7 This week: 226 So much for starting on that last 50 pounds I still want to lose.... Am trying to get myself back on track, but am having difficulty getting focused. I've made it this far, so know that I will ultimately succeed, just wondering when... Kellie

Good Morning Start 455 last week 332 This week 329 Have a great week everyone. Lorraine

Good morning!! Yes the weekends go by to fast!! Well like kellie I have gotten off path but I want to lose this last 30 pounds and it would be great if it would just come off by next month but it took me alot longer than that to put it on I know. So here goes my accountability for the week. Surgery weight 362 last week 220 today 217 that is great but I go to the dr on Thursday and if I dont get back down to 215 by then he will mad, 217 is good but I gained up 223 which I guess is 8 pounds since I went to the dr in November I guess I will just suck it up and take my punishment if I dont get them off but I sure am gonna work hard to get them off. Good luck everybody and have a great day and week. Nanette

Good Morning all! I had a rough weekend, my Mom is in critical care in the hospital and I have a nasty sinus infection so they wouldn't let me go see her. They seem to think she'll be there at least another week. Please send good thoughts and prayers her way! Beginning weight-374 Surgery weight-359 Last week- 260 This week-254 Total weight loss - 119lb gone forever! I really pushed the fluids and it seemed to help my weight loss. Jan

hi marge, I have skipped the last couple weight ins, because of the holidays and eating what I know I shouldn't be. But I am back on the right track so here it goes. Beginning weight 473 Surgery weight 417 Last week 228 This week 226 Have an awesome week Lynn

Ok, I'm in. Since I'm still waiting for surgery mine will be a bit different: Highest Weight 384 Consult Weight 351 today's weight 345 I hope to take off a few more pounds before surgery.

We had more snow this weekend. Colorado has become God's personal snow globe! We are due to get another round of snow beginning Thursday night that may drop another 8-12 inches of snow. Glad my Infectious Disease consult is on Wed! I'm still on home IV, but my leg is looking better. While I was going through my 2006 calendar making a list of all the cellulitis episodes I've had over the past year, I noticed that a year ago this month (January 2006), I had my physical and consult to start the modified Optifast plan I used to lose weight prior to surgery. In January 2006, I weighed 530 lbs. Beginning weight: 530 Surgery weight: 407 Two weeks ago: 338 Last week: 342 (hospitalized and given gallons of IVs) This week: 328! I have lost 202 lbs in the last year -- 123 prior to surgery, and 79 lbs since surgery. It's impossible to wrap my mind around it, but the numbers don't lie! Woohoo! Kix
