I have about 30-40 more lbs to go before I reach goal, but I don't know that I will make them by my 1st anniversary.  Right now I am in a size 12 and I hope to be in a size 10 by February 09.  I am celebrating my anniversary by going on a cruise with my sister and her two kids.  We leave on Valentines Day.  We are going zip-lining in Cozumel...something I would not have been able to do at my previous size due size/weight restrictions.  I have already purchased all my cruise clothes in size 10 so I HAVE to lose at least 10 lbs for them to fit.  Not worried...I am finally working out and staying on track weight wise (lost that 4lbs I gained over Thanksgiving...it shocked me that I could put back on weight so quickly and easily...a real reality check).  I have lost 100 lbs (depending on the time of day...give or take a lb) and am VERY happy where I am at with my weight loss.  Though I am also now losing at a snail's pace.

God luck to everyone over the Holidays...let's keep losing and not gaining anything!

  Carnival Holiday - Feb 2009

Yeah I am new to this and didn't realize there was an insurance board haha! Thanks for the info!!

Sorry about that, you just never know when it is going to happen and its scary. I had a peanut butter cup at Halloween and then another last week and it made me sooo sick. So no more of those for me!

I did not get sick Thanksgiving and must admit I had about 3 forkfuls of strawberry rubarb pie - yummo!

Yea, I am 9 months out.
It was my 1st Thanksgiving Dinner after surgery.  I over ate, but stopped myself.  I did dump (very little)  Im glad I survived, did better than I thought!

Thanks Sandi.  Today is 1 week and it is Thanksgiving and I'm struggling a little today.  But fortunately I removed myself from any festivities.  It is just easier.    I am still more exhausted than i have ever been but I spoke to my nut and she says that is very normal.

I'm going to make it because this is too important to my life!
