So far I have lost 77 lbs and have 25 more to go.  I hit a long stall that lasted about 6 weeks around the beginning of the year but am now back to losing, thank goodness!

I have gone from an 18/20 to a size 6! I feel amazing, off all my diabetes meds and my sugars have been great!  I know I need to do better with how much/often I eat, I tend to get busy with other things and not eat the way I should.  I have no problems with getting my fluids in though, I have always been a big drinker.  And I definately need to get back into my exercise routine.  I have been slacking lately. 

This is the best thing I have ever done for myself!

Hello everyone.  My biggest fear is that I will stop losing weight!!!  I've been over 200lbs since I was 18 years old and I've just been scared to death that I'm going to mess this up.  My surgery was on August 26, 2008 and I have lost 120lbs.  I started at 333lbs and wore a 5X shirt and 30 jeans. Now I wear an XL and XXL shirts and 18 jeans and I weigh 213.

Hi All,
I am thrilled all you August peeps are doing so great!! I had my surgery on August 25th, I have lost 88lbs. Gone from 244 to 156. YAHOO. I am in med/lg tops and 11/13 bottoms (juniors). Unfortunately my weight loss has slowed down but that just means I will have to work much harder to get where I want to be. I am able to eat a lot more that before got to say that is scares me a bit. I worry that I will eat too much and stop losing. oh well! Keep up the great work my friends!

Hello! I had my surgery on August 27th and I am down 108 pounds and loving life! 

I hope that you can break the 200 mark very soon. I know for myself that was the BIG GOAL I was looking to break.

I hit a stall and it last about 4 weeks. Last Tuesday I decided to add a protein shake back into my day because I am STARVING and feel shaky after my workouts. I also increased my water from 8 glasses to 10-12 and in 5 days I had lost 3 pounds. I was thrilled with that since I hadn't lost anything in the past few weeks.

I track everything on thedailyplate.com now and I love it! I can keep my food and exercise together and print them off for my NUT.

PS. I have gone from a size 26 pant to a 16 or XL.
       Tops have gone down from a 30/32 to a 14/16 or XL.
       Then there is the good old bra that (so far) has gone from a 46DDD to 42DD!! I hope that continues to shrink, lol.

im so glad to find this board.....i know we are not suppose to compare to each other but its definately encouraging to see that my weight loss is about the same as most.  my stall is killing me and my weight loss has slowed considerably.  ive started to journal again and hopefully i will be back on the right track....the carbs were sneaking in for me as well.

im so happy to be liking foods again.  it literally took me MONTHS to enjoy what i was eating.  seemed like it was a struggle to eat something and not have my pouch hurt after a few bites.  i can eat more now and dont have that horrible discomfort.

ive gone from size 3x tops to size large.  jeans from 24 to 12/14.  scrubs from 3x top to medium/lg and pants from 2x to mediums.  its wonderful.

if i could just lose the fat on my tummy..uggg!!  i would probably lose another 10 pounds if that came off.   plastics will definately be in my future.

thanks for sharing everyone!

I had surgery August 28th and am down 82.4 pounds.  I went from a size 20 pant to a size 10!  Was wearing 2X and some 3X shirts and now wear size large that are a tailored fit.  My bloodwork, energy level, and overall happiness is at an all time high.  This was definitely the best decision I ever made.
