My surgery was 9-23-13, I've lost approximately 50lbs now, just a little over 50% of what I need to lose. My Dr. said I'm ahead of my expected weight loss, so I'm gonna keep doing what I've been doing.

Surgery was 9/12 almost 4 months out
So far I've lost 68 pounds!

Surgeons goal 205
My goal 170-175
I think we all hope for more, but our bodies are adjusting now. We can do this, just focus and follow your surgeons plan for you !

9-26 was mine! down abouy50-52 but I cheated a bit over the holidays... back on track now! it really has more to do w how much you have to loose (100-110 for me)... the more you need to loose the faster is goes at 1st!
good luck and don't get discouraged!

I carry my fitness pal with me. I always ask for a takeout container and I portion out what I know I can eat safely..$ k

Yay that's awesome. That's something I drank allllllll the time!!! Thanks for this!!

Tasha again I love how you put this thing together. You got people together from all over and put them together and for that I appreciate you. Its beautiful because if someone does not have the support they need they have a pen pal to talk too and get to know. Personally I have met 2 incredible women that I now can say are my sisters for life....and because of you we are constantly in touch and checking on one another and that's what makes this program beautiful.
I am not one to be a debbie downer but I feel like some people do not understand what a pen pal is and it is very frustrating. Years back a pen pal was someone you would go back and forth with with written letters and getting to know one another and building relationships. I feel like some people and again this is just me and believe me I'm not complaining just want a "pen pal goodie box".
I have participated before in this a few times and if you ask my pen pals I have done my part. what I do not agree with however is when a person right away sends me an e-mail asking for my address to send a box. How can someone truly send you anything with out getting to know you, 2nd although it feels like we are in a safe place this is still the internet so I am not comfortable that quick to say ok here's my address send what u think I may like...because I may send something and the person may not be on the stage I'm in....
I am a talker and I love to talk and get to know the person I am interacting with including their struggles, their likes and dislikes what we have in common and so on... how else will it work having a pen pal and knowing nothing about the other person? its impossible to know someone just by 1 email. I'm in the heart of NYC so I have access to almost anything and I have no issues finding things I need so for me its not about a box although I do appreciate it...its about the connection and friendships build.
I am a great pen pal to have but it would be nice for some people not all to understand what a pen pal truly is...no one could understand who you are, what you like, how you feel, if they don't truly get to know you and again this is just my opinion. again as I stated Tasha I love what you have put together, it just gets frustrating to me when the other person doesn't apply to the pen pal part of it....they lose out on what the essence of this program is all about and that's the connection between 2 people.
Personally i am in the heart of NYC I have access to many places so its not really about a box for me, but the friendships I welcome with open arms and that is priceless....thanks again..and sorry about this small vent its just frustrating.
