    Hi! Thanks for the nice compliments. I am thankful for the monthly picture journey for the past year as it reminds me of where I was in the beginning and actually shows me how far I have come! I can't see that in the mirror.
    As far as advice for slow losers, I looked at your ticker. I don't see a slow loser. You've done quite well. I think we just get wrapped up in comparing ourselves to everybody's big numbers. I lost 17 pounds on a 3 week preop diet. Then, I lost an average of 2-3 pounds per week up until about month 9. Since I lose about 2 pounds every 4-6 weeks. My advice is to move! I work out 4-6 days per week and still stay focused on my liquids and proteins. Best of luck my dear. Stay focused on the prize. I would also go to a clothing store over my lunch every few weeks to try on the next pant size....that keeps me focused on my work out goals

    You're only an inch shorter than me and 136 sounds so skinny - go by how you feel and how you look rather than a number on the scale. No sense making yourself sickly!

    Your doctor doesn't want you to lose more? I'm surprised but for them it's different I guess. They have the weight scale sheets that say what we should weigh and only go by that. For me, I'm going to where I feel good in my skin and look good. I have to remember that I will never have a flat tummy but would like my head to see what everyone else sees when they see me. I can look at old photos and see the transformation but to look in the mirror I still see the fat woman (although a little smaller). You do what you have to do to make you feel good which is why you had surgery in the first place!

    The first 3 months were the most exciting for me as I watched the scale move quickly! These last couple months have been harder and slower for weight loss but I'm OK with it as I'm still losing weight and learning how to eat regular foods in moderation. I hope to lose my last 15 pounds to original goal by my 1 year surgiversary which will be February 24, 2013.

    It is hard... but it feels so good It gets a little easier as you go on. It feels nearly impossible at first. Zumba is great, I just can't justify the expense when I am already paying for the gym. Was thinking about getting it for the Xbox Kinect. LOL
