5 Months Today...

Doesn't time fly by ladies???? I remember when we were all on this board posting we were waiting... 24 hours till surgery etc LOL Now its been 5 months, my gosh! Things are going great! Ive lost 113lbs, Im wearing a size 18R pants down from a 26W, and Im wearing 18/20 tops down from a 26/28. I dont feeel so akward anymore... about been the heaviest person in the room... Ive noticed my self confidence slowly growing... talking to strangers etc...which before I would never have done... Life is good Darlene 338/225/170

Darlene, You are doing so well!!! Keep it up! Amy

Congratulations Darlene! You have done such a great job, keep it going! You're beautiful!

Hey Darlene, You are doing fantastic. We share that special day. I love all the ways my live is changing. It is so true. It seems like just yesterday we had this surgery. I hope our next 5 months are just as exciting. I wish you good health and lots of fun. Take care Nick

Darlene, I also share the same surgery date. You have done great and are a huge source of information and encouragment to all of us "Marcher's". I have lost 75 pounds since surgery and 114 since my journey began. I can't believe how much energy I have and how everyday things are so much easier. Life is good and it's great to be a part of it. Rick

Hi Darlene! You have done great. I can't wait til I get to 113 pounds lost. I've lost 96 and I'm down to a sz 16 pant and 18 top (from size 26/28). It's kind of funny to me because my GOAL was to be in a sz 16 again, but I still have 50+ pounds to go! I must have been smaller than I remember at 18 pounds. It's been so long ago. I know what you mean about the confidence thing. I can meet a strangers eye without looking away and I can even offer a flirty smile . I don't pull away quickly when someone gives me a hug (unless I'm at the gym). I never grow tired of hearing about the "new me". Even with all that has happened in the last few months, I can honestly say that life "feels good" right now. I can be me! Darlene... I also wanted to thank you for all of your support and good advice. Congrats to both and ALL of us! MsKeara

Darlene,.. WOW what an inspiration you are to one and all!! Congrats and many more lbs to come Stef

Congratulations on your success. Keep it up and keep those yummy recipes coming MJ

I also share the same surgery date... hard to believe how the time has flown! 5 months!!! I am down 89 pounds. I was a 32 pants and a 4X-5X shirt. I am now a 24 pants and a 2 X shirt. I have 74 pounds to my goal but already feel great. I have never had a confidence problem, but I do feel so much more like the old me. I like myself better and I am enjoying every minute of it! YEA for us!! WOO HOO! Patti

Hasn't it been the best 5 months!!!! Congratulations on such a good job done! Keep it up. Barbara
