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!

Back to journaling and exercising made a huge difference. I am feeling great about this week and I cannot wait to report a new weight into the 180s next week.

No loss again this week but I'm here to show I'm accountable. I have 40 lbs left to go and it's gotten pretty slow sooo time to reevaluate things. I've started walking 2 miles a day now and I'm looking into adding yoga. Gotta be more more faithful to MFP as I have slacked a little on that. See ya next week!

Kudos to you for posting here and being accountable. Look at your amazing progress! I lost my focus recently and just had my first full week back on track and I feel great. One day at a time...

Progress is S-L-O-W at this point. I know I need to exercise more because my work is sedentary and VERY demanding (60-70 hours per week plus 2 hours per day commuting), which makes it tough. This week I started going to a water exercise class 3 times a week and I really like it. We shall see how much difference it makes.
