CONGRATS!!! You look great, being happy makes the biggest difference also.
Completely off the subject, I really like your hair cut. I have fairly long hair and keep debating on cutting it for a new look to go with the new me. I haven't lost as much weight as you have but it also sounds like I have been able to eat more types of foods. I keep telling myself that I shouldn't compare myself to others..

But Congrats and keep it up..

Amanda,
Congrats on your loss!! You are looking great....

I have to say that I am really feeling like I am slacking.. I have lost 59 pounds and am still in size 18/20, when I started in a 24/26. I thought that I was doing good but now I am not so sure... I don't think I will post any pictures until I am atleast into a 14 or 16 pant. I do carry all of my wieght at my tummy, I have small legs and arms from riding horses for years.

Again, Congrats on your Loss and keep up the great work!!

Chrissy

Hey you! 

How are you feeling? I actually started eating somewhat week 10.. Tuna... Crackers.. Light things.. One night I threw up blood.. Dr. Ameri had me go to the ER. They kept me overnight and ran all sorts of tests. I am now on all liquids again for another month!

I hear ya about wanting to be normal again lol..

I will see you soon! 

Hi everyone.... I am 12 weeks out tomorrow! Although last week was rough for me (I found out I had an Ulcer) This week is starting out GREAT! I am down 75lbs and feel AMAZING! ! ! ! Everything I have gone through is SOOOOOO worth it! I have uploaded a before and after picture... The before is HORRIFYING to me.. And the latest one is one taken Yesterday at my Sons Party! : ) Today, Also... I had an AMAZING wow moment. Someone made a comment to me yesterday about my pants being baggy... When I explained that I had only gotten them last week.... They suggested I go out and get more! LOL The scary thing is, If I had done that I would be a size 16. I haven't been a 16 in 14 years! And, Being skeptical they wouldn't fit.. I brushed it off. Until today, for **** and giggles.. I tried some on... They FIT! I am OFFICALLY A 16!!!! Yahoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

  OK everyone....I've been board out of my mind due to all the snow that got dumped on us in the last day or so and i have been doing some research!!
  
  I didn't know if you all knew that two OH members do stuff outside of  the OH boards. You HAVE to check out their sites!! Melting Momma had stuff on UTUBE and now is on bartict TV ( something that is on here not on TV?)  Shes AWESOME!!!
  
  Then there are 2 cookbooks.....didn't know if anyone knew about these either. I am sure you already do but just wanted to throw it out there anyway!!
  
  Have a great day!!
