well I guess this is good. I went for a check up and slight adjustment today and found i haven't really lost much but somewhere I lost 7 pounds of fat. Not sure how that works but my measurements say I did... I have been lifting weights and running a lot more than usual. I was getting very annoyed that with all this extra work the scale wasn't moving. I guess I should have figured something was happening because people at work starting making positive comments again.(that stopped for a while). I actually had to get a new photo ID for work because I look so different now. For all of you who are nervous and unsure about doing this all I can say is I believe this has saved my life. I am a new person. Do it! stay positive and FOLLOW the rules as best as you can. We all slip up and have weak days but its ok. I am off all of my medication and I no longer use that horrible sleep apnea machine. So many people only post the negatives... I am here to say this is the most positive thing I've ever done for my self...

Wow!, 82 lbs is great! I bet that you do look a lot different than your original photo. I got one of my IDs changed but not my drivers license. (I am just to lazy to stand in a long line for that). Anyway, it is good for me to have the old ID too, it remnds me where I came from. Congrats, I'll bet you look great! Karen
