Welcome to the group darkfeary474- you have done an awesome job already! It seems like it comes off easier once you get started, so just keep working at it, and you'll be under 35 BMI in no time!
brenda0704, you have to be doing something right! A pound is a pound! Good job!
Shannon- Congrats! I am so so happy for you!!
Penny- thanks for the info. I don't know if I will buy the diet or not, things are going pretty well with just walking.
Kimbe- Don't give up!! Just pick right back up where you left off!!

Louise, The diet costs 39 dollars and then you have it for life. I bought it in 2006 and I go on it and then I'm off for a while and then go back on it when I need to take some pounds off. but the website is the name fatloss4idiots then it is dot com. I just thought that it might help a little.
GL and can you believe that we are down to 69 days!!! WOW exciting!!!

Hi Everyone! Had my TR yesterday and I feel WONDERFUL!! Can't wait to be able to start concentrating on my walking more once I am 100%!! Congrats to everyone...keep on going!! We can do it! Talk soon!! ~Shannon
If it would be OK i would love to join in here , I have come a long way on my journey to lose this extra weight and become healthier and to be able to have a baby with my now husband, Last July 2007 when we got married I weighed in at 294 and sense then I have lost 49 pounds so far and I now weigh 245!!! I am 5'9" and 34 years old and right now the chapel hill BMI calculator says my BMI is 36.2 at this weight. and it shows when I lose 10 more pounds and get my weight down to 235 my BMI will then be 34.7 which will put me right below where I need to be to be able to have my TR!!... I Am So Excited to have come this far!! Good Luck to All We Can Do it!!! Dana

Louise, I weighed myself today and I'm down one pound-to 202. I haven't been doing a lot, just watching what I eat and trying to walk more. But that's one pound lost in about a week, so I must be doing something right!

Hi Ladies, Sorry I haven't post. I have been in revival,and spending time with family for mother's day, and my 35 birthday. I haven't been back to the gym. My Dh called and told me it's time to get back on track. Wish me luck. I'm to scared to weigh today because I know I've gain weight. Will post weight soon. Kim
Thanks for the tip Penny- can I ask how much does that diet cost? I actually have been using Slim Fast for 2 meals a day for about a week or so, just because I really had to get my BMI under the limit. I still have 10 weeks before surgery, so I can continue to work on losing more.
I have heard that being "obese" can make it harder to conceive. If I am going to the expense of having the TR done, then it seems logical to get weight off so I can actually conceive when the time comes.
Please let me know when you need to have your weight and BMI updated!

Hello everyone! I wanted to tell you all about this really different diet that I have been doing. I have done it in the past and have lost like 30 pounds on it but the name is sometimes offensive. It is called fatloss for idiots. It really does work. You do it for 11 days and then you have three days off. My fist cycle, I lost 10 pounds (and they tell you 9) then I had my three days off (went a little nuts) and gained back 2 pounds but on my second cycle, I lost another 7 so it put me at 15 pounds total. I am currently on it again because I want to lose 20 pounds and my work has this program called "get healthy" and if you participate and jump through the hoops then you benifit payment literally are cut in half. So, Just wanted to tell you all about it. You can find it online. You have to pay for it to subscribe but once you have it, it is your for life. I purchased mine in jan 2006 and I was suprised that I was still able to get on it. I'm not by any means advertising for it. I just wanted to tell you all about it.

Ya'll need to try this: When you are having your height measured, stand up as straight and tall as you can- I mean really stretch! Maybe you do this already--but for some reason, I didn't think to do this before. Anyway, it gives me another full inch! This makes a great impact on your BMI. And, the walking twice a day has really made a change for me. I was stuck for three weeks at the same weight, even though I was being very careful about what I ate. Now, I am breaking out of that plateau. Two pounds lighter yesterday, another pound this morning...
Sorry so long, but thought I would share this little tip, I hope it helps someone! Have a great losing day! Make it count!

Good morning! Well, I weighed in this morning, and I'm 2 pounds down! Nice to see a different number, it's been stuck for about 3 or 4 weeks.
Welcome to our thread brenda0704!! Linda, they go purely by your BMI, which could be unfortunate if you happen to be very muscular...I've heard that Arnold Schwartzenegger would be considered "obese" according to his BMI because of muscle mass. Having said that, I can't say that muscle mass is my problem...
Is everyone drinking their water? It is essential!!! Have a great losing day! Let's make it count!

Hi ladies, I would like to join your group if I may. I'm not scheduled yet, due to financial situation, but I'm hoping for about a year from now (I wish sooner). I really need to lose weight, not only for TR but for my health. I haven't really started anything yet, but I think if my info was posted it would give me more reason to work at it. I joined a Prism weight loss group a few years ago and I lost 50 pounds in 5 months. The weekly meetings and weigh-ins every 6 weeks really kept me on track. Then I had to quit because I couldn't afford it any more. I just don't have much success trying to do it on my own.
I know that when I get weighed at the doctor's office it always is at least 5 pounds more than my scale says at home, but for now I will give you my weight from home. I weigh 203 and my BMI is 35.7. I would like to lose at least 20 pounds, hopefully more.
