196 pounds for me this week. I worked out the entire week! wohooo :tongue_smilie: I am thinking tummy tuck...in the future lol. I went to my 6 months follow up and was told that I am actually 5'10!! woohoo better for me, that means my BMI decreases :ohmy:

Ann D, I understand! I am 5'9 my doctor wants me at around 150. Heck no. I dont know where I am suppose to lose 40ish pounds from. I am 196 now and cant see myself at 150. I think I want to stop at 165 to 170. Lets see what happens when I hit the 180s.

Good luck everyone!!! Lets keep motivated!! Trust me I need motivation, I have been slacking off a little but Im back on track. Hoping to lose 20 pounds before August's arrival.

Hey everyone, thank you so much for your kind words, thoughts and prayers !! Really means a lot to me :hugs:!!! Well my slow down has occurred. Yes I am still losing very slowly but is getting there. I upgraded my exercises and revamped my eating habits. I realized I had to bring up my calories as I enhance my exercise routine. I am now at 196!! Yeii and have a 6 month follow up visit with my doc tomorrow, so lets see what she says Good luck to everyone and dont lose your motivation! We can do this! We have come so far! Almost half a year ago I was stuffing my face with a whole pizza pie and losing my breath with each bite, those days I remember with glory.

Aww thanks everyone!! I lost my little one I am really sad but staying strong!!! I just wanted to say that I miss the excitement we ALL shared when we were awaiting the day of our surgery. Lets bring that back!! I know people are busy but trust me this is such an awesome support system. Wishing everyone continuous success!!!

I lost my little angel, so no longer pregnan:sad:t. Time to focus on the weigh loss which keeps my mind off the sadness..so far about 20 pounds since 1/7/09...about 2 pounds a week! Good stuff!! I know the Lord will bless me with a little one when the time is right.

Im in Onderland!! Is a bitter sweet moment...

down to 198 and down 100 pounds emotionally...

Karen you look amazing!!!!! Congrats to everyone else, we are almost at our 6 months mark!! yaaahhoooo!!! I added a picture of me a few years back when I graduated from college and now :biggrin: the big round face is gone.

I am at 199.8 lol. ONEderland! Feels wonderful. However, I am really trying not to lose anything for the health of my little one. I do believe it is important for me to continue to exercise as I hear it helps with labor and with the back pain. How is everyone else doing?

Thank you Karen! God bless you and your little one :wink:! You are doing wonderfully! I hope you reach your April fool's day goal!!!

Hi everyone! Just wishing everyone continuous success!!! As of this moment I will no longer continue to try and lose weight, since I am pregnant. I am not overweight, yeiii!! Im pretty happy, I will continue to exercise and eat healthy for my baby's health and of course for mine. Not really scared of gaining weight durigng the pregnancy but the doctor told me, I will probably have no problem keeping the weight gain at 15 pounds! So far I am still losing, I increased my calories and now I only focus on the treadmill for a brief one hour walk. Good luck!!!! FYI: My weight loss slowed down A LOT, but of course I did l ose about 80 plus pounds three months after surgery, so I was not dissapointed at all. In fact, with my height 200 pounds looks pretty damn good. I never wanted to be a skinny minnie!

Hi friends!! Miss you all! Thank you for the good wishes. I finally got my lap top fixed and I am back Ok so as you know I am pregnant and NOT trying to lose weight, but m y eating habits are still filled with veggies and proteins. I will not have and unfill until I meet with my obgyn. Then I will speak to my LB surgeon and decide the next step. As of today I a m down to 200 pounds, I am OVERWEIGHT!!! Yahooo!!! Feels good! Good luck to everyone and thank you for your continious support!

Hey everyone, I am down 90 pounds but if all goes well, I will be gaining a few more pounds, I am pregnant! Shocked shocked! Apparently, the more weight you lose the fertile you are! I am to see my doctor, to make sure I am ok, Ive been having some light bleeding. I hope you are all doing well!!!!!

Yeii Twin! Alright, I have about 6 more pounds to go, I am at 206! grrr!!!! I think Ill be in Wonderland by the end of this new month :tongue2:

Tell me what are you eating habits. Do not stop working out. Again, give us a sample menu and tell me a bit about your work out! FYI, its been said that exercising curves the appetite.

Down a little over 4 pounds, to 207lbs funny thing is, I didnt go to the gym this entire week due to some construction work being done.

Congrats long!!!!!!! 100 pounds woohoo!!!! Thats amazing!

Today, I woke up and stepped on the scale I reached my goaaaaaaal!!! 15 pounds down!! Woohoo, the pounds went off faster once my TMO ended, weird!!!
