I must be a slow loser but I haven't done any workouts of any kind... so 10 pounds... for the first month doesn't seem good at all. Any advice would be appreciated thanks dears. And I totally forgot about me one week check up to add that so down 18pounds and 20 on pree op diet.. fun fun.

Starting weight 250

Surgery weight 217

6 months out 174

Total loss of 76lbs!!!!

Was wearing size 20' date=' 2xl, 42D..... Now wearing 10/12, M/L, 38D

Does my weight loss sound right? I feel like I should have lost more than 43lbs in 6 months.

Great progress! It is similar to where I am at. I was a size 18/20 day of surgery and now I am a 10/12 as well.

As of this morning, I have

1) lost over 150 pounds since I began this weight loss journey,

2) lost over 50% of my "excess weight" (above my goal), and

3) reached under 300 pounds for the first time in over 20 years (since my oldest child was conceived)!

Yay me!!! Woo hoo!!!

I remember the day the scale showed 299! It's a great feeling!! Great job, congratulations!

Hello all! Man have I been slacking on here. I am so busy its hard to keep up with everything. I am 7 months out and down 74#(total) I think I should be a lot further along but I know why I am not. I keep going off track(not bad but more than I should) and I just pick up and get back on track. I am happy with where I am and want to loose about 100# more. I will start getting on here more and tracking my food as I see myself sliding back to old habits and I refuse to end up where I was.

I think as months go on its natural to 'get in with your life'

Checking in with everyone. I am 33weeks out today (the 14th will be my 8th month mark) and I am down 121 pounds. Things have been pretty smooth for me, thank goodness. I have taken up running (yes, omg running!) When walking used to get me winded at my peak weight the fact that I can run a couple miles without dying blows my mind. Yay for our new and healthier lifestyles!!!!

That's excellent! I'll be 8 months on the 27th and am down 103. No running yet, but lots of biking. How are your legs and knees with running?

7 and a quarter months post-op. 85 lbs down. Apparently, jogging burns more calories than drumming. Maybe I should play faster. LOL. Good work all.

Initially I had an issue with shin splints, but I learned some amazing stretches that I do before hand and I haven't suffered since! I did a 5k back in April, I was 257 then and it took me nearly 2hours to complete (I walked about 99% of it and it was an obstacle run) but now I can easily run 5k (3.1 miles) in about 30-45mins without feeling like I'm going to die. I live about... 5 blocks from a large mountain type.. thing... and I make the kids jog it with me once a month. The way up they are major cry babies about it, on the way down they are all giggles. It's been an amazing journey so far!!

it's called monitor your weight.

Today makes 8 months. I've slowed way down and I'm okay with that. I hit my clothing size goal but I'm still 30-45lbs from my weight goal.

I am absolutely stuck at 181 and I am so tired of planning what to eat. I really need to push to get down to 150 by Feb 2014, but I've been so tired lately that I have no energy after work. I guess I'll just have to carry on and wait this out.
