At the suggestion of a fellow sleever (thanks DeezJeans) I'm starting a post-op success story thread. This can be a 'numbers' thread...when you do your weigh in's, you can post your pounds lost here, and we can keep a running total. We can use this thread JUST for pounds lost!

Looking forward to the thousands of pounds we WILL be losing!

Here's what we would like to do. Please send me a private message with your goal pounds lost. (Meaning, if your goal is to lose 150 pounds, just jot that down in a quick private message and send that to me.)

Then we will compile all the pounds from everyone who wants to participate, and post the full amount, and then work towards those goals with weekly updates. We will be recording those pounds lost AFTER surgery!

You will still post your pounds lost on this forum here so we can Celebrate all of your victories (and I will keep track of them on my trusty spreadsheet, and then report the weekly pounds lost)

If you have any questions, please let me know!

Well, I'm not sure why that posted that way, I was just editing the original post...sorry about that.

Incidentally, while I am here, I just wanted to let you know that we currently have SEVENTY THREE December sleevers that have joined the pounds lost party! That is just AWESOME, and we keep getting more people almost every day! We very well may get to the 10,000 pound mark! (We're currently at 9,010 pounds).

Will be posting an updated pounds lost number on Monday, so be sure to get your pounds recorded. Remember, I am doing this from highest weight, so even if you are still pre-op (although that won't be much longer for you sleevers next week), you can still join in on the fun! We want to record your TOTAL weight loss from your highest weight!

WOW!!! 48 pounds down. That is FANTASTIC! Congratulations!

30lbs post op--I'll take it..lol Haven't been able to do that on my own since Noah stocked the ark!

I'm hitting the gym 4x a week too, so I think it's helping. I'm dreading the coming stall though, because it is inevitable.

I signed up with a personal trainer yesterday to do some strength training and toning exercises. He worked me out good yesterday, I feel it in my legs today. Feels like I'm carrying around lead weights..oy!

I would like to get down to 140lbs, so that's 80lbs for me
