Anyone scheduled for surgery in January 2018? I'm booked in for the 12th. Would be nice to chat to people in the same stage x

Sorry to hear about your marriage @MsTipps. I hope it works out for the best for you and the kids. I’m a firm believer in if you want something bad enough you will do whatever it takes to reach it. I guess all of us are in that boat or we wouldn’t have gone to drastic measures to lose some weight. I truly hope you make it over here one day. Who knows, your “Mr. Right” might be over here.

Sorry all I’ve been on vacation. So I’m down 68 pounds and I’m excited. I would like to lose 7 pounds by the 17th so that I lose 75lbs in 6 months #needtotryhardergoals.
@MsTipps I’m sorry to hear about your marriage but you moving is a great thing for you and your kids. Your journey is more complicated than mine but you’re rising to all the challenges. Stay strong my friend.

Happy Independence Day to y’all fellow Americans!! I’m weighing in today at 245. That is an amazing 95 pounds down since surgery day! July 10 will be my 6 month mark. I’m hoping I can lose 5 pounds by then but that’s a lot to lose in a short time period. Wish me luck!

Me Dobbs I would love to,have,your Mr Right here waiting in the US or Canada, but don't please settle for Mr Good Enough, and find someone who will love and cherish you and your children. You deserve the best of everything here on Earth. Your postings have been well thought out, I cherish each one I can reread . Have a peaceful night and wake tomorrow to a beautiful sunny day.?
I'm sorry MS TIBBS my phone obviously wants you Remarried as well. I am certain I entered it correctly.?

Just back from my 6 month check up. I was 167lb today - that's 78% of my excess weight gone ? Thanks to everyone for your kind words. Means a lot x

@Marc76 that’s awesome that your doctors office does that. I kinda wish I got on that trend a little better.

Thank you @soccerkaty but the only reason these pictures are taken is because a nurse from the weight management program I attend forces me lol. I am happy now that she's taken the photos so I'm able to see the progress :)

I have been away for a while but here is some progress that i’ve made....

Yesterday was my 6 month surgiversary. I didn’t hit the 100lb mark but I got pretty darn close! I’m down a total of 97 pounds as of today! To say I’m excited with this is an extreme understatement!

The big dude in the picture was me in 2007 ? (weight unknown and didn’t really care at that point in time)

I’m one week and 3 pounds from my six month goal... I hope I make it, it’s crazy I’ve never cared about my weight before and now I care and I want to hit goals. I’ll take some pictures next week! PS all of you look super good, I hope you all feel better too.

Wednesday weigh in and I'm still at 167. Same as Friday... Not too worried though as I expect my loss will be slow for the last 30lbs or so to goal. You guys are doing awesome! Keep up all the great work. Much love xXx
