Question:
how much weight loss at 8 months?
How much weight loss at 8 months....I started at 5'8" 321 pounds on April 15, 2003. I now weigh 216 for a loss of 105 pounds? Any body similar? Am I on the right path? And how much do I expect to lose more? — spelayo (posted on December 11, 2003)

You are doing fantastic. I had my surgery May 20 and have lost 78 pounds
which I think is a lot. Iam down ten sizes. Keep up the good work and don't
get discouraged with plateaus. Carol

life.

Hi Silvina..Wow we started out at just about the same stats..I am 5'8"
and was 327lbs...At 8 months I was down exactly 121 lbs...so I would say
your doing WONDERFUL..Yes, if you make and effort you will lose more
weight. I am now almost 13 months post op and down 159 lbs- The weight is
coming off VERY VERY slowly now (a few pounds a month) But by all means,
I'm not complaining..Best wishes Kim

Hi there--we have the same re-birthday! I am 5'10", was 308 on
4/15/03, and now weigh 200--although I did get down to 198 last week :\ I
wish I knew how much more we can expect to lose, I'd like to get down to
174, which would get me out of the 'overweight' category.

Hi Silvina: I'm 5'8" and started out at 332, surgery on 04-09-03.
I'm at 230 right now, loss of 102 pounds. I've slowed down dramatically
since I started exercising a month ago. Inches, however, are going down
steadily! I measured before I started exercising and just re-measured this
week. I wish I could say I was at goal (175-185), but I'm thrilled so far.
I, unfortunately, do not seem to dump on sweets and although I don't eat
many, I have had a cookie or brownie here and there (I have 10 family
birthdays between October & December). I am increasing my exercise and
trying to get more protein in before I eat carbs. I've also been slacking
a little on water. I used to get a gallon a day in, now I force myself to
get 64 oz. Also, I've found myself to be drinking more coffee than usual
(3 cups a day as opposed to 1). I would say you seem to be on the right
track though! Good luck!

That sounds like you're doing pretty well to me. I started at 5'9"
and 359 pounds. I lost 124 pounds after 8 months, but when you figure I
started 38 pound heavier, you're ahead of me, really! Now at almost 15
months out, I'm down 173 pounds. I'm 186 and would like to lose another 20
or more pounds but it's gotten a lot harder in the last two months. I'm a
size 14 now and am sure I could be a size 12 or less once I get plastic
surgery!

times a day...3 main meals w/1 cup food and the other 3 are about 1/2 cup
food. I workout 3-4 days a week and I'm planning on increating that in
Jan/Feb.
