Scared out of my mind!!!!

Hello everyone, Five months ago today I was scared out of my mind to have this surgery, Two months after the the surgery I felt the weight was coming off much too slow , but here I am Five months out today and have lost a total of 80 pounds . Thank You God, Jeff (my DH), my family, Melinda Smith and all you good people for being there when I really needed you. My six months will be 8/10/2004, I will take updated pictures at that time to be posted, everyone tells me I don't look like the same person. I still have a ways to go (51 pounds) before I reach my goal weigh of 160, which by the way, changed from 180, but only 20 pounds to reach my six month goal of 100 pound loss. Maybe I'll make that and maybe I want by Aug. 10, but I will sooner or later. I am so happy with my weight loss so far I don't even worry about it, as long as I'm not gaining, I'm happy as a bug in a rug. All you who are where I've been, Just hang in there and you too will be where I'm at today... Just wanted to share... 291/211/160 -80 Linda

I think we are all starting to be comfortable with our losses. I'm not obsessing about loosing anymore, but I have to confess that I'm concerned about other life long issues. You will make you goal for sure! Keep up the good work. Debbie -58

Congrads Linda, Your doing great.People are always telling me I look totally different. 8/23/04 is my 6 months and I will be posting a new pic of me as well.I am so very happy with my weight loss and if I don't lose another pound I'd still be happy. Ultimately I plan on losing about 60 more pounds then have a TT and a breast lift. We must always remember where we have been and see where we want to be. Eating healthy and living a happier life . Take care and continued sucess. Trisha -120

Good going, Linda! My 6 month anniversary is the same as yours & I am hoping to reach the century mark as well. Whether we do or not we still have something to celebrate!!
