AJW...Thanks, I'm really trying hard. Black Forest is just around the corner from me. We just got 10 inches of snow on Friday, and today is suppose to be in the 60's. I'm sure you remember how crazy the weather is here. Where are you now?

We are back in So. Calif. where we were born. I miss Colorado and still have a friend who lives in Falcon there. Yes, I do remember how crazy the spring weather can be. Enjoy your days in the 60s.

/ Congrats to everyone with their losses! I'm now considered to be in the NORMAL WEIGHT category as far as the BMI scale. My weight loss has slowed way down in the last 6 weeks. I'm starting to wonder if I'll lose much more. I can lose a bit more by cutting my calories down to almost nothing, but that seems a tad risky health-wise.

Kermit - did u run the whole half marathon??

My surgery day 2/4/10 I was 240 and now a week from 2 months I am 201.6 :-))

I wanted to run the L.A. marathon so bad yesterday I cant wait til next year- I'm totally doing it!!!!

Kermit - did u run the whole half marathon??

Oh god, no. I walked/jogged. haha

Lol. Lmao! The important thing is that u finished. I wanna run a marathon soooo freaking bad! I was only at my highest weight (240) for a couple months not long-- before that I was 180 an running 6-7 miles and working my way up to a half marathon. I'm so sad I have to start over. I'm almost 2 mo post-op and I'm up to 2-3 miles.

Have you tried increasing calories? Your body may need more calories Laura, don't give up, your body isn't done. I can't remember how many calories you are getting in, but can you try increasing by just 50-100 a day for a week, and see how your body reacts?

I'm sorry you keep stalling out, but don't give up on yourself.
