    Hey guys... I am going to try to answer all the questions but if I leave anything out let me know... First off food intake - I average between 400 and 600 calories a day. Yes that number is low but

That is AWESOME!! Congratulations!!

You did win the lottery. The weight loss lottery. You should be so proud of yourself. That is awesome. My goal is to get to 135. Don't know that I will be a size 4 at that weight, but I know I will be thinner than I have been in 30 years. What a major victory for you. I am so very happy for you and what an inspiration. Happy shopping!!!! :)

You give me hope. I started at 222 and hope to lose a significant amount. Thanks for sharing!

You were wondering around in size 20 pants up till now? Must have needed some belt.

Congrats!

I was a too much eater. I love all foods. Especially meats and veggies and pastas and breads. I have sworn off pastas and breads and carbonated beverages. Other than that I eat what I want. :) I do have a sweet tooth so ... ;)

Crystal - just curious... What size did you think you were?? I mean before you. Went shopping... Knowing you lost a significant amount - were you expecting ..10,12,14?

That's fantastic! I'm looking forward myself! I had already decided no bread, pasta or soda and you just affirmed my decision!

Thats great I'm I'm xl now I will be 2 months on

The 25 th it would incredible to get to a small

My 47 years and I love my new life

Woo hoo Crystal! You must be really short to want to lose another 21 lbs!

And Crystal I have to ask--how many calories a day were you on average eating the last 6 months? And you DID win the lottery! You have lost almost a hundred pounds in six months which is UBER AWESOME for a "lightweight" in the bariatric circles.

No, no. I meant to ask if you were wondering around in size 20 pants weighing 130-something. I had clothes for every size in between. Some were old and some I bought at Goodwill and Old Navy.

You must have had in between sizes. Did you really have no idea what size you would be?

I'm at 7 months and have only lost 83. Wow! I'm impressed!
