New poster.....Had Gastric Bypass!

Hello all,
My name is Kimberly. I had the gastric bypass surgery last August 2004. I am trying to get the last 40 pounds or so off!

My weight loss has slowed down a lot. I am very thankful everyday that I had my gastric bypass surgery. I went from 340 preop, to 299 day before surgery and now I am at 188. I would love to hit 160 and my personal goal is 140. I am 5'3.

What I want most is to meet people who are also losing weight. I know I have a tool to help me lose weight (i.e. my smaller stomach) but I still want to lose this extra amount. I would love some support friends.

Here are some pics of me before my surgery and then after. I made a little album. http://kimsjourney.shutterfly.com/action/

Also, I know a lot now about eating right, so I am here to offer support to all of you too! :-)

Wowzers you look Great Kimberly


For me, no matter what I eat, its the Exercise that makes the difference


I could eat like a bird and still stay the same weight if I dont do exercise daily

Have a good one,


Gayle
