Weight loss was more sporadic last month, i'd lose a few, stall, repeat. My hair decided to make a mass exodus too, it's traumatic to see my long (mid-back length) hair coming out in LOCKS and clogging the shower drain! I want to cut it but my hubby is begging me to keep it at least until he gets home from the desert. (October) But on the upside I have gone down to a regular (non W) 18 so I know I'm getting smaller even if the #'s on the scale aren't moving as quickly. I can even squeeze into a few (loose-fit) regular 16's, and I am definitely a 14/16 in tops. (bottom-heavy, always have been) Finally made it to onederland, spent a week going in and out of it, but then lost 5 lbs in a few days and can kiss that 200 goodbye forever! I'm only 4 lbs. from no longer being obese, I'll just be overweight! That'll be my goal for my 5 month anniversary (the 31st). I am taking TaeKwonDo lessons and while the push-ups are kicking my butt, I'm enjoying it immensely. I can sprint and keep up with the class, and am amazed at my flexibility--I could kick my 6 foot 3 friend in the head if I really wanted to, lol... (I tried, no contact of course) Looking forward to belt testing next month. I would never in a million years thought I would be doing this kind of thing pre-op! Michelle 277/194/150?

I am with you! I refuse to buy any new clothes, so I still wear some of the smaller sizes I have in my closet that are big. I think that is part of my problem. I figure if I can still wear them I am still very fat. I look at myself in the mirror or anywhere I see my reflection and to me I look the same. Although in my head I know my body is different because I can move now and quite freely too! Hopefully that will change for us someday! Jean

Yeah, Patti! I'm dancin' for you! Onederful is Wonderful! Congratulations! It is time to say goodbye to 200 and up! There are a lot more numbers above 200 than there are below 200. I'm sure you feel like you are in much better control! I have 58 lbs before I get there, but it's a goal for me, too. Enjoy your Onederful day! (I feel like I'm in a Winnie the Pooh story!) Hugggggs to you, Heidi
