isn't that a wonderful realization? thanks for sharing. dorthe

Sarah ~ Thank you so much for your note. I am really scared to see the doctor tomorrow. I guess, because I have placed too high a goal upon myself and have had alot of stress lately, to where I have not walked and excercised the last 3 weeks. I'm sure that's it. Depression is so hard to fight. I need to see the glass half full not half empty. Your words were so comforting. I will try and stay in contact with everyone more from now on. You're a sweetheart! God Bless! Luv, kath

Now Today is the 4th of Aug. hope this makes the post. Tomorrow I go to Nashville for the 6 mon. check up. Posted at 9:09 PM PST on 07/30/2005 This is a reply to a post by Cajun Girl RE: How much weight have we lost? Hi Everybody! I have had such a busy year since Feb. 9th ... my surgery in Nashville. I haven't made time to post and am so sorry. As of yesterday morning, I have lost 105 lbs !!! ....... ....since Feb. 9th surgery, and 125 total... (including my weight lost prior to surgery). Basically, I just go by what I have lost since Feb. 9th. Am I in a good range or a normal range? Tonight I have been feeling so down, like I have failed. It may be the weather and I am absolutely exhausted. I go to my Dr. next Friday for my 6 month check up. I truly hope that I am in a good range of weight loss. My bones have been the only problem that I have encountered. I am in constant pain... it may still be fibromyalgia, or just the fact that my poor body doesn't kow what to do without the fat to hold it up! LOL! The GOOD NEWS is, I have gone from a size 32 jean to a 20 jean (almost 18).:From a 26-28 or 4X shirt size to almost an 18 - 16: my bra size has gone from a 44 DD to a 34 C( almost a Training bra!) I didn't want to lose that much up there though. If you would, let me know if you think I am ok and doing alright. I'm rather scared to go and see the doctor. Well, sorry for the pity party, I guess I am just extrememly tired. I also just became a NEW Grandma on Thursday! That's why I'm so exhausted, but oh what a Precious" reason to be tired. My diet has been very strict: basically just chicken, fish or shrimp:very little verggies and Fruit 2 O(water). No carbs no caffeine, no grease and no sugar. I really have been very disciplined. Let me know what you think guys! Thank you so much! I'll try and get back to you all sooner. God Bless! Luv, kath

Dawn, You are doing great!! Glad to hear your labs came out good. Krystle 260/171/130-135 (still stuck, I'm thinking of running my scale over with the jeep)

Well, my 6 month checkup was supposed to be on the 15th, but had to change it to the 29th. I'm not really looking forward to it. I'm having a hysterectomy done on the 11th, so I'm gonna be full of fluid for awhile. I figure its probably going to slow my weightloss down a lot since I wont be able to exersize for at least 4-6 weeks! But, I'll be sure to pop in afterwards! Krystle 5'5 260/171/130-135
