That is sooo great. I occasionally can eat more then I "think" I should be able to, it really scares me when it happens, I'm afraid I will go back to my old habits. I try to eat things that I know will fill me up quickly, like meat, potatoes, pasta, or bread products. I can eat a ton of crackers though, THey never seem to fill me up, so I am starting to stay away from them. Hang in there. 115 lbs is so great.

Topic: RE: Slowing Down
Hi Kimberley, I too, have slowed alot. I am 7 months out and down 80 pounds. I am 58.5 inches tall and Dr. has a goal of 120 for me. I have 47 more to go (I started out at 247.) I figure that losing slower is better for our bodies, more time for adjustment and hopefully time for the skin to have time to catch up(hey I'm keeping my fingers crossed . I think you should see how you feel when you get there. I think that a bmi is a better measure to use. I think now I'm just obese and looking forward to being overweight. I wish you all the best, but most of all wish you good health! Constance

Topic: New Photos!
Hi Gang! Just wanted to let you know that I got new photos on my profile! I can't believe looking at them what a difference 80lbs makes! I'm on vacation in Boston this week - then I start my new job. I'll be off to Nashville for training for a couple of weeks then my first assignment will be in Atlanta. Cool! I was so happy to see a HUGE difference in riding an airplane. The seats actually fit and I was comfortable without taking up the other person's seat! I'm so thankful each and every day for this journey. Have a great weekend all! Barbie 281/198/170ish

Several times this last couple of weeks, I have had customers come in and go up to one of my associates and ask if I am working today. HEHEHE And when they say yes, she's over at her desk...they get that dumb founded look on there face and say "no way". I love it! And I really love it when they tell me I look so much younger! But isn't that the truth! Weight truly ages us all! Anyway, I seen my brother a couple of weeks ago...He hadn't seen me since before my surgery. Boy was he shocked! All he could say is....Gosh--you're not my fat little baby sister anymore. You've lost so much weight! I got a call yesterday from my best friend and she is getting married in 10 weeks. And guess who is supposed to be in the wedding?! Yep! I have 10 weeks to tone up a bit more. I am so excited! Every other time I've been asked to be in a wedding, I dreaded it! And this time it will be different. She is so excited not only about getting married, but that I have lost so much weight and will be confidently standing there next to her. That will be a great day! Just wanted to share! Charlotte 269/179/137

Topic: RE: Slowing Down
You're doing great! I am 5'6" and my goal weight is 137. But the way I see it is.....our bodies will stop losing when they are comfortable. And everybody has a different amount of muscle which weighs more. I am at 179 right now and a size 10/12. I have a lot of muscle. So who knows if I will get down to 137. (OH IT'D BE SO NICE THOUGH) But I figure we have to mostly go by how we feel and look--not just by what that ugly judgemental ego breaking scale says! Keep up the great work! Charlotte 269/179/137
