What a great job you've done! Congratulations on such a successful year. I would love to know any suggestions you have that will help the rest of us be that successful. Will you share? I was dropping it off fast, too, at 81 pounds in 4 months, but losing has slowed down to only a pound a week or so.

Did you hit any slumps, and how did you jump start the weight loss at that time?

Have you lost much hair?

Are you exercising a lot?

Thank you for any pointers you have. I am so inspired by you!

ty all..

Koala, i never really "hit a slump" I lost really slowly first 6 months, but the past 6, have been going faster and faster, im really expecting to hit goal by summer! I lose about 4-5 lbs a week now, which may be a lil fast, but all my blood test and everything come out normal, so, so far so good :grouphug:

With my surgery came a personal trainer, and i used to go to her twice a week, but i moved away from her, so now i kinda do what i can on my own at home with free weights and an exercise ball.

As for the hair.. my hair is insanely thick.. i did lose alot of hair for about a month, but noone noticed but me! In fact it saved me the trouble of paying to have it thinned lol. I was depending only on Protein powder for protein.. those real food Proteins are needed as well to keep ur hair.

I dont really have any "pointers" per se.. cuz i dont really feel like im doing anything any different.... this yr just flew by, so hopefully next yr will too

Congratulations on a job well-done. You look wonderful!

Congrats and way to go,

You look awesome. I hope a year from now I can have the same results. Keep up the wonderful work.

What an awesome job you have done!!!! You have done great! I am hoping I can do as good as you. Your an inspiration to all of us.

Good to know about the first 6 months being slow then it picking up, that will help us newbies. Also, the hair loss part. My hais is way too thick too and I have to have it thinned out with every hair cut, so maybe I won't lose as much either, or no one will notice my loss.

Congratulations again and I'm so happy for you and hopefully In a year, I can share my success story.

I only lost about 40 lbs first 6 months... which was awesome .. but losing over 80 the last 6 month.. much awesomer :grouphug:

Congrats girl..... you deserve it!

congrats on your success. It is so great to hear!
