Congrats on the loss. I agree the last 8 months has been long and hard. I am about the same as you on loss. I started at a 32 and am down to a 16-18 bottom and a 14-16 top. My hair is also starting to come back. I have to laugh at your comment about your husband. I overheard my husband tell someone saturday night that he felt like he had been cheating on his wife with the "skinny" woman. I felt so good. keep up with the great work.

Well it's been a L O N G 8 months! Man does time fly! I have now lost 118 pounds. I have slowed way down on the weight loss. Started exercising and toning. It's working. Went from size 30 to 16! My husband even took me for low rider jean...LOL. I told him he doesn't have to go through his mid-life crisis! he has a NEW woman! LOL. Well that's about it. Oh P.S. My hair is finally graowing back! Hooray Take care ya'll Tammy, Hoffman Estates, IL

If you have not tried the JOYRIDE bars, you are missing out. They are made by the same company that does Detour and u-turn. They have the flavor of an almond joy bar but do have a different consistancy. The large bar (which I can only eat 1/3 of at a time) has 30 grams of protein and 340 calories. They do have 16 grams of sugar in the entire bar but that is only 5.33 grams per 1/3 bar, which is below my doctors recommendation of 6 grams per serving. I found mine at 7-11 but am going to ask my Target to see if they can get it since they carry the small version of the Detour and U-Turn.

Of course the 10/20/03 date is a typo. Obviously am I not only computer illiterate, I am also typing-impaired!! Surgery was actually 3/20/03. Thanks for the encouragement.

Congrats on the 90 lb loss. Please tell me the 10/20/03 surgery date is a typo? Glad to see you found us and please don't lose us. Keep up the good work and before you know it you will be at goal.
