I wanted to post this and have shelley's approval to due so.
We both had our surgery in JUNE 2005, and started with very
similar weights. As you can see we lost at different rates.
SO dont get discouraged if your weight is different then
another on the board who had surgery near you. YOU will
all get to your goals:



LISA: SHELLEY:

1 month 54 .........1 month 45
2 month 65 .........2 month 61
month 81 ............3 month 69
4 months 94........ 4 month 75
5 months 103 .......5 month 83
6 months 112....... 6 month 83
7 months 123 .......7 month 88
8 month 128 .........8 months 101
9 months 133 ........9 months 108
10 months 136 ......10 months 113
11 month 140 l...... 11 months 115
12 months 143 ......12 months 122
13 months 143 ...13 months 123
14 months 143 ... 14 motnhs 129

This shows how we each lost differently. ITs month to month and the lbs we lost added up thru our 14 months.
HOPE this helps!
ALL of you will get there at different rates as me and SHELLEY have done!

(HANADI THIS IS FOR YOU )

alright I thought I would add to this a bit to make it more interesting. If you look at our totals, you are only seeing the grand total. Here are my totals for each month vs. grand total.

I started my journey weighing 313lbs. I had to do a 7 day liquid diet and lost 15 lbs doing that. The day of surgery I weighed 298lbs.

DATE... WEIGHT... LOSS ...TOTAL

06/17/05 ...298............. 15................ 15
07/05......... 268............. 30............... 45
08/05..........252............. 16................ 61
09/05..........244.5........... 7.5............. 68.5
10/05.......... 236.5........... 8................ 76.5
11/05.......... 230.5........... 6................ 82.5
12/05......... 230.5 ...........0 ................82.5
01/06......... 218............. 12.5............. 95
02/06.........211............... 7................. 102
03/06........ 206.............. 5................. 107
04/06........ 199............... 7................. 114
05/06........ 197.5 ...........1.5............... 115.5
06/06........ 191 ...............6.5............... 122
07/06........ 190............... 1................... 123
08/06........ 184.5........... 5.5 ...............128.5

So as you can see, Lisa and I are much different. She didn't suffer stalls the way I have. So I know it's hard not to compare but try hard not too. No one losses at the same rate and everyone is different.

HUGS TO ALL!

Shelley and Lisa thank you so much for posting this for us. It sooooo helps to know that there were months where you didn't really lose that much. It really puts things in perspective and makes things more hopeful since you both have done so well. Love you both so much.

Well i just dont want anyone to get the blues if they feel there looseing is going slow! I GIVE shelley alot of credit hanging with me and not getting
blues from some of the months that i had huge losses....but she has done good! NICE and steady and even!

JUST wanted to show how it two different rates of weight loss
we all get to some really ideal sizes in good time!

hugs friends.

If you all don't know, Lisa was my huge inspiration to keep going those months that I would loose nothing or very little. I would always challenge myself the next month to loose more.

Lisa has done such a wonderful job being so supportive.

To all, just don't forget DO NOT COMPARE YOURSELF. Everyone is different and don't get blue or upset. Listen to your body. If you are not loosing by the scale, take out that measuring tape and check your inches. For myself, the months I did not loose much on the scale, I was loosing tons in inches.

[ChuppyGirl]

Wooww
Thanks Lisa and Shelley for sharing all of your details with us I really can't be enough thankful!

Tell you the truth I will be in another stress level in the coming few days but the best thing is that I will be apart from my beloved scale hehehhehe so I won't have that stress maybe for a year, but now I'm happy that I will be able to weigh myself in any drug store in UK. Most probably I will do that on my monthly anniversary to keep on track.

I love ya all a bunch I wish if I have another 24 hours in my day to be able to access this website and read/reply to all these lovely posts.
Lat night I joined at midnight to post what did I eat! I have an issue if I don't post (what I have been eating) tha I won't lose weight hehehhehe

I love you a lot
HUGSSSS for being there for me
