My DOS was also 2/20/13!! Dos = 224 Cw = 168 Gw = 150 then 135

I am Vicky and have been overweight forever it seems. I remember my aunt saying she would buy me clothes if I lost weight when I was in grade school. I did lose weight once when I was 20 ish and was in college and changed my patterns and got down to 145. I gained weight again and especially after having my daughter at 24 and my highest weight was 278. I am a Mom of a single daughter and one of 5 siblings and have a very close family, especially with my sisters one of which has had wls 3 months before mine. I have gone from 224 on DOS to 168 and am working slowly towards 150 and hopefully 135 eventually. I am enjoying my new active lifestyle including running and hiking and am enjoying being "normal" size immensely

I'm still 168

I am 167 today Down a few After Thanksgiving

I was able to lose 10 per month only the first 3 months then an average of 5 per month since. DOS 2/20/13 CW 169 GW 135

I feel like I eat "a lot" at times too. I hope it is that I am just adjusting to my new small portions since I still serve everything in a 1/2 cup size bowl or very small plate and I am 10 months out. I'd prefer that my calories be around 800-900 but they are usually 1000-1100 usually though

Yes, you have eagle eyes sir!!

Au contrair, I ate a spoonful of this and that and a few other bites and stopped. My sleeved sister did the same. Unfortunately my daughter, mother and brother were all groaning afterwards. It makes me sad but we try not to lecture either way

Wonderful ideas!!

I am a firm believer in having a family member with you in the hospital at all times. I had wls as outpatient surgery tho and was utterly grateful my sister was there to baby and caretake me so I only had to rest and get up to walk and potty and nothing else. She is a beauty and it was a wonderful gift

Hallelujah and WHEW! Wonderful success all around

I'm absolutely in love with your Tday at the beach tho Laura. What a brilliant way to spend it with your lovely family

Thanksgiving was wonderful though we were short 1 brother and 1 sister this year. The food was delicious and I ate with sleeve compliance and enjoyed every bite but the absolute best dessert was having my college daughter home for the weekend.

I want to join in. CW 168. Xmas Goal 164. Am looking forward to see the poundage fly as we work our way to Christmas and better health

Ultra, not uptake

Yes, even tho I'm not hitting my goals, the comraderie is uptake encouraging. I can't tell you how comforting it is to be able to share the journey and how exciting the race is

As of Thursday 168 which is down at least a pound and inching towards that 164 goal!

DOS 2/20/13. SW 224. CW 168. GW 135. The first 3 months I lost an Ave of 10 lbs per month and I've slowed to 5 lbs per month since June but it pushes me to start running and hiking and now weight training to continue the losing which improves my health so I am satisfied though anxious and striving to hit my next goal of 150 then hopefully 135. I am humbled and impressed to no end at the awesome and inspiring group of losers I am a part of. Cheers fellow February'ers!!

You're determination and persistence will overcome all

I'm still the same. I know I lose slow and will keep working

Congratulations and welcome!

Weight today 168.5!! Below 170 and working towards that 164
