Four and a half months in...

I had my surgery on 11/12/12 and so far I am down 65 lbs.... The first 20 lbs fell off in the first week and a half!!! I am really loving the results so far, I have gotten to a plateau because I have dropped so much so quickly that I don't want to lose too fast and have hanging skin.... I just found this page and I am going to enjoy talking to everyone here and hearing and sharing stories!!!

I do not know why you ladies who have lost 66 lbs in less than 6 months think that you are slow losers! That is fantastic!! Your picture shows the weightloss. Spring is a great time to shop for in smaller sizes. best wishes! Karen

Never said I had been a slow loser but that the rate the weight is coming off now is slowing down.
