This week was a good week . I lost 3 more lbs and I am 5 lbs from 100. It feels so good. I can remember back in pre-op days reading post and profiles thinking I would be happy to lose 50 lbs and now here I am at almost 100 lbs. When I look in the mirror I don't really see a difference to me. However, I know its a difference since I can no longer wear a size 32 or 34. I can't even wear a 24. I am proud to say I am in a size 20......UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!!!!!!! HAVE A GREAT WEEK EVERYBODY!!!! BEGINNING WEIGHT-362(01/13/07) SURGERY WEIGHT-357(01/19/07-the day released from hospital) LAST WEEK-270 THIS WEEK-267

Congratulations Tricie! Wow, that is awesome! I am so proud of you. Man century club... I know you're excited. I can't wait until I get there either. I'm about 14 lbs away. I plan on doing that by the end of this month! Trying to get there by 5 months. I know I can do it! Again, I'm so proud of you...

Thank you so much for the words of encouragement. My weight loss is slow these days, but I am still losing.  You are doing so great. You will hit that century sooner than you think. I wish I could lose 5 lbs in 1 week. I haven't done that in so long. I think/know it has something to do with my constipation(I know TMI)Because I am doing everything I am suppose to do and then some and I still just get 2-3 lbs a week. Not complaining just saying. I know you get tired of me saying this...but I looked at your profile and you are looking so beautiful. It is almost like you are glowing. Keep it up and lets get together soon. What a difference 5 month make.....for both of us. Tricie 

Thank you Tricie, for your words of encouragement. I look in the mirror and still cant see the changed person. I know 90 lbs is a lot of weight, but I still don't see it. But when I look at old pictures and my face now, I can definitely tell. Lol, I know it's crazy... all mental I tell you. Yeah 5 months does make a difference. I'll be 5 months in exactly 20 days and I will make it to the century club by then! Girl, you look like you'll make it to the century club by the end of the week! That's awesome. We really do need to get together soon. Maybe we can work out one saturday morning. Keep up the good work!

I had a pretty good week! My angel told me that the protein I was taking wasn’t pure protein. It was a mixture of protein; therefore, my absorption of it was probably minimal. She also told me that I needed to increase it even higher. I take a 1 and ¼ scoop of protein powder (either Body Fortress or Isopure) and add it to 3 – 4 oz of water. I stir it up real good and then I just gulp it down. It takes about 3 or 4 gulps, but I get it down. That combination is about 30 g of protein. I do those 3 times a day, making that 90 g of protein just on supplements alone. I get the rest in through food. For the past week, I averaged about 100 – 130 g of protein a day. I guess it worked because I ended up loosing 5 lbs this week. Have a great week everyone!

Hello everyone, after being stalled for a couple of weeks this past month it is good to have back to back losing weeks.  I have past the half century mark in weight loss and I have been released by my nutritionist to try all foods, so salads here I come.     Highest Weight/ Surgery Weight - 361 Weight Last Week - 313 Weight This Week - 309 Lost This Week - 4 lbs.

 

Nanci Congratulations on the the half century mark!!!! Just wanted to remind you to try new foods at home. I learned this the hard way and it wasn't pretty 

Morning, Marge.  Thanks for starting off the Monday weigh in!  Here's my numbers for the week - Beginning weight:  396 Surgery weight:  386 Two week's ago:  209.7 Today:  209.4 Kellie

100 degrees?!!!! Wow, am I glad I live in Colorado Today is supposed to be 92 and our first day in the 90's - it will be warm but whenever I start to complain I will think of you down there in the peach state! I didn't get to post last week due to my dad's surgery, so I'm going to do double duty this week (especially since I did so good last week!) Surgery weight: 371 2 weeks ago weight: 215 Last weeks weight: 208 This week's weight: 205 I have been so focused on making my goal of 180 that I didn't even realize how close I am to being in the 100's! I can't believe it's only 6 pounds away. Something to work for the next month. I did have a fun moment last night. I have some clothes from about 12 years ago, which was the last time I had successfully lost a lot of weight. As i've lost weight I've been trying on those clothes, but there were some skirts and pair of pants that I haven't been able to fit into yet. I tried them on last night and they fit! Wow, I was shocked. These are the last of my 'skinny' clothes to try on - from here on out it's all new clothes. never in a million years would I think I would be smaller than I was at that time.
