Well it's been awhile since I've posted anything, but I think I need to get in here and see what I've been missing.. After I had my surgery this place was home for me.. In everyway.. I've been struggling with thoughts of me gaining weight lately.. I've been real good.. I have been at 138-139 for about 9 months now. I'm not sure why I feel like I'm not doing good.. I'm more busy now then ever --my husband says I should slow down. In my mind I feel like if I slow down (sit and watch tv or just rest) I'll gain my weight back again. I'm not sure if I'm the only one that feels this way, but if I'm not please somebody let me know. Just wanted to express some feelings that I have right now.. Everybody have a Great week.. Janine 260/138

Myname is rhonii, and I just got approval for my surgery but still have to see surgeon on jan 11,2006 .

I just had to write, and felt lead to write to you. My goal also is 150-157 lbs . I will be happy to be 180 for all that matters, breathing easier without my extra boobs sting on top of my chest, going back to work I'm a hairdesigner,on a long sabatical.

Ha thats funny, I am the queen of doing that. I am wearing the compression top, and taking it easy. I must say I am much more uncomfortable then I thought I would be, but I know that will pass. Jenn

Congratulations Jenn! Can't wait to see you in spaghetti straps! Margo

O.K......two years ago next month, I was size 5X. 9 months later, I bought a very nice, expensive Renaissance dress for Ren faire performing. A dream come true! Well,.......this past weekend I worked a Ren faire near Corpus Christi, TX. and took my new dress along. Put it on that morning and WHOAAAAAAA!!!!!!! Tent city!!!! My husband tried to lace it tight enough but he could not do it. It was just too big! So,..... not having a seamstress at hand to take it in, we threw a cloak over me ( it was 50 degrees, so cloak and gloves were necessary) and hoped it would be alright. Imagine!! I actually had to wear a BRA AND A CORSET to hold it together! So what does all this mean? MOMMY GETS NEW REN. CLOTHES!!!! MOMMY GETS NEW REN. CLOTHES!!!! Lou Ann
