pre op weight was 212 lbs
1st month weight 185 lbs that is down 27 lbs!!!
2nd month weight 172 lbs that is down 13 lbs!!!
3rd month weight is 162 lbs that is down 10 lbs!!!
for a total of 50 lbs down. and i have lost a total of 32 inches and went form a size 18 to a 11 junior
I have some pic but i dont know how to get them on any of these pages or my profile page will work on getting them there.
I have always been a yo yo diet person who would lose with the aid of diet pills but would always gain it back. Im so glad i did this if your thinking about it this works. You still have to follow your doctors diet and exercise plan but if you do you will lose. This is the tool that works for you if you follow the plan. It does not do the work for you but dose aid in the ability to do it.

Thanks. Looks like you have done great to. This is a permanent loss not the yo you diet like before for me still trying to get that in my head. I still weight every day cant stop and these last 2 months the weight has slowed down and im trying to adjust to that. Im afraid that i will stall and never get to my goal. Thats the old diet for you talking. I don't do protein shakes and eat small amounts of protein only 1 1/2 to 2 oz at a time so my calorie intake is not a lot under 500 a day, and i walk 5-7 miles a week and just started zumba 2 x a week. This is a life change eating habits and exercise habits i only hope that they will still be there 6 months, 1 year from now. I will be looking forward to your update.

thanks i plan on it. Just stay head strong for now. Im half way there and the next half will be the hardest and most challenging to reach my goal. Best of luck to you too. I know this is a life long journey for us all we will have struggles of all different kinds to get through. thanks again for the support.

sorry that was a type o. I edited it . It was only 1 mile 5-7 times a week. I usually walk 1 mile at work on my lunch which takes me about 16-17 min. and then 2-3 times a week i also walk on my treadmill for 20 min. a little over a mile and then the new zumba classes i started 2 weeks ago for 50 min 2 x a week really like them time goes by so fast and i found a class that make you feel at home and not embarrassed. I dont have a lot of rhythm but im learning the step and moving As long as you try and keep moving that is what's important. learning the steps for the routine takes time. they are really friendly and some have even stopped to show me the steps.. The most important thing is im having fun and i plan on continuing to go because i enjoy it. I think thats the first step in making a life long commitment to exercise. There are some woman that go 4 days a week every day they have class. I may work toward doing this but for now im starting with 2 days a week.
