BEGINNING WEIGHT-397 SURGERY WEIGHT-386 LAST WEEK-196 THIS WEEK-195 HUGS TO ALL AND HAVE A GREAT WEEK!

I am finally below 300 lbs. I have not been below 300 lbs in over 2 decades. This is a great feeling. I have posted a few pictures on my profile.  10 weeks post-op, 63 lbs down, and feeling great. This is such a great feeling. I almost cried when I read the scale.  My sisters and nieces were here last week and when they seen me they started to cry. The last time they seen me I was 362 lbs and just miserable. My oldest sister kept looking at me saying you look so great. Wait until the rest of my family sees me when I go home in July. It was a great week. We went shopping and to the movies and to Atlanta and road around with the kids. We had a great time. I did not tire once.  Again....this is the best thing I have ever done for myself and I have not had one day of regret.   BEGINNING WEIGHT-362(01/13/07) SURGERY WEIGHT-357(01/19/07-the day released from hospital) LAST WEEK-304 THIS WEEK-299

Good morning to all! I upped my protein intake, and it makes such a big difference. Minus the first two weeks of surgery, I was loosing less than 3lbs a week. I even went 2 weeks, only loosing 3 lbs. But this previous week, I upped my protein, water intake, and exercised 5-6 days a week. It definitely shows on the scale. BEGINNING WEIGHT-377 SURGERY WEIGHT-375 - 377 LAST WEEK-334 THIS WEEK-328

Good morning Marge,  Well i was glad I didn't gain, that scale just drive me crazy.  Start 455 last week 309 this week 309 total weight loss 146 9 more to go to be under 300. Lorraine

Lorraine Don't get discourage. That dang scale will start to move again.

Well I am looking at it from a different way. I am 10 months almost 11 months out and i am still losing. Second as i looked back over my weight loss I lost 11 pounds over a 6 week period now that is a little slower than normal by about 5 pounds but you know what??? I am still losing and i will get under 300 pounds very soon. It might take me another 5 to six week but It will be moving. so my average now is a 1 to 1.5 per week which is still good. I hope it speeds up a little but if not I am still doing ok. i will reach my goal of 199 one day. 110 to go to goal and 9 pounds to get to my current goal of 299 here I come.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lorraine

195, Marge!  Way to go! I haven't been shopping at Goodwill yet.  I'm still "inheriting" clothes from friends I met in surgery class, so I have more than enough stuff to wear for awhile (or until it's too big).  I was finally able to start wearing the nice sweatpants I was given, which means I am (at last) starting to lose weight in my big old fat legs.  This makes me pretty happy -- my waist has decreased, but with my fat thighs and Blobby, I hadn't really lost much in the leg area yet.  It must be the treadmill exercise, so even though there are days I want to quit treadmill after 2 minutes, I'll remind myself that it's making my legs thinner.  Spring must have arrived in Colorado, I'm sneezing like crazy.  A pox on whoever invented hay fever!  Beginning weight: 530 Surgery weight: 407 Last week: 292 This week: 285 Kix

Good Morning all!  We had wonderful 80 degree weather this weekend, had the last of our old windows replaced, and then spent Sunday running errands and cleaning all the windows!  Hubby went to Walmart with me, and seemed to have fun saying "oh look, this is cute I think it would look nice on you" I got a new blouse, a T-shirt (which I put on in the empty parking lot) and a pair of casual slacks. It amazed me to be able to shop there, and have something fit! The best thing of the weekend was dinner Saturday night at my best friends, we haven't seen each other since January, when we walked in her jaw dropped to the floor, and she couldn't speak, she finally started crying and saying how amazing I looked!  It was so wonderful. Here are my numbers - Beginning weight-374 Surgery weight-359 Last week- 227 This week-226  Total weight loss - 148lb gone forever!  2 pounds away from meeting my "before we leave on vacation goal," I still have 15 days to do it in!
