Default Question

How much weight would we have lost on our own with in any given period of time?

My answer would be 2 lbs at most within a month that is if i didnt end up gaining any.

I think right off the surgical table we lose sight of the reality of life. I also would become depressed if i weighed and only lost 2 lbs. One day I was complaining about it and my brother snapped at me and asked how much would I have lost with out the surgery? It was like being struck with a brick. I got it at that moment. ITS WEIGHTLOSS. Doesnt matter how fast or how slow, its coming off thats all that matters.

As for scales, I only weigh in at support meetings (twice a month) early support and general.

The scale number will never be what "society" says it should be. But the image staring back at me is looking better and better everyday.
