losangelesislovely 10 Posted December 29, 2012 Banded 11/9/2012 Weight at Surgery: 172 Current Weight:165 Goal Weight: 125 Goals: Lose 5lbs/month Exercise: C25k Age: 26 Location: Michigan for now, LA in the near future I'm not so much looking for a mentor as someone at the same point in the journey with a relatively similar amount of weight to lose (40-50lbs). I'm 6 weeks post-op. I've found that daily weighing keeps me on track like nothing else, so I'm looking for someone to-without excuses--email each other our weights every morning and also talk about our ongoing progress and struggles.

losangelesislovely 10 Posted January 4, 2013 I don't think I am small; I am medically obese. I was banned in Mexico by Ortiz. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
