What a great job you've done! Congratulations on such a successful year. I would love to know any suggestions you have that will help the rest of us be that successful. Will you share? I was dropping it off fast, too, at 81 pounds in 4 months, but losing has slowed down to only a pound a week or so.

Did you hit any slumps, and how did you jump start the weight loss at that time?

Have you lost much hair?

Are you exercising a lot?

Thank you for any pointers you have. I am so inspired by you!

ty all..

Koala, i never really "hit a slump" I lost really slowly first 6 months, but the past 6, have been going faster and faster, im really expecting to hit goal by summer! I lose about 4-5 lbs a week now, which may be a lil fast, but all my blood test and everything come out normal, so, so far so good :grouphug:

With my surgery came a personal trainer, and i used to go to her twice a week, but i moved away from her, so now i kinda do what i can on my own at home with free weights and an exercise ball.

As for the hair.. my hair is insanely thick.. i did lose alot of hair for about a month, but noone noticed but me! In fact it saved me the trouble of paying to have it thinned lol. I was depending only on Protein powder for protein.. those real food Proteins are needed as well to keep ur hair.

I dont really have any "pointers" per se.. cuz i dont really feel like im doing anything any different.... this yr just flew by, so hopefully next yr will too

Congrats and way to go,

What an awesome job you have done!!!! You have done great! I am hoping I can do as good as you. Your an inspiration to all of us.

Good to know about the first 6 months being slow then it picking up, that will help us newbies. Also, the hair loss part. My hais is way too thick too and I have to have it thinned out with every hair cut, so maybe I won't lose as much either, or no one will notice my loss.

Congratulations again and I'm so happy for you and hopefully In a year, I can share my success story.
