Hi Julie, I'm six months out too. I'm down 70lbs and I find it hard to go to the gym. I've finally admitted to myself that I will say 70lbs gone for every because I will never allow myself to 'gain' and be so overweight again. I kept thinking just 20-30 lbs to my personal goal. WHich is 100 pounds off. I might have to settle for 85-99 pounds, however, I"m optimistic. I'm give you kudo's for your strength. I cannot imagine what courage it took have have a baby, give her up for adoption, and then meet her at 27. You've done more in these short years then most people do in their entire lifes. It's amazing to see your strength. Men are over rated. You will find love in the right place, it takes time. I have gone through many emotional thangs recently. Right now, it's school next week iw will be something else. Take CARE, Jen

Thank You Jenn. She is actually 16 and I am 34 its really crazy though but she is a great kid Good luck to ou and find time to work out i have to talk myself into going everytime lol i hate it but i know i have to do it oh well such is life. J

Great job! I'm a little over 6 months out. I'm into a 14 and sometimes a 12. I even have one skirt size 10 but I think it's just cut big. I go to the gym 6 days a week. I actually enjoy working out. Go figure. The condo I live in is being painted. The day before yesterday, I had to ask the painter to remove the paper from the door so I could get in at lunch time. He was very polite. As I was walking through my hall upstairs a few minutes later I heard him ask another painter "Did you get a load of that cute little redhead?" My first thought was to look out the window to see the redhead. Then, I thought maybe he might have been talking about me. No way! Yesterday, when I went home for lunch, the same painter already had the paper off the door. He held the screen open for me and told me "Be careful there hun. We don't want you getting paint on that pretty skirt." And then he winked at me. I was floored. I wonder what will happen at lunch time today! LOL
