Oh mary, CONGRATS ona fantastic loss...I agree, sometimes it seems like I have been this weight forever, then I come across old photos and it is like a sharp stabbing painof memories that come flooding in. Scary thought.

Topic: 9 months on 01/18, -140 happy dance!
I am down -140. I am now 160 and would like to lost another 10 pounds but have been stuck here for a while. It is so exciting to read about everyone's journey! You do know we all are awesome!
Can you believe we did it???? I have to think sometimes, Did I really do this. Was I really that big? It seems it has been much longer than 9 months! I am so excited for everyone! Good Luck!

Hey there fellow "Losers who are WINNERS!" my name is Cherisse and I am 9 months as of the 29th of Jan. I started at 579lbs and have lost 160lbs as of Jan 9th, 2004.

Congrats Laurie.
Isn't it great to be able to do things that you couldn't less than a year ago?
I am down 114 and I am now wearing the size I wore in high school. Before children. They have never seen me this happy and this small( still pretty big, but much smaller than before).

Topic: 9 mos today!
1/7/04 Happy new year everyone! I know I have been bad about updating. I think it's because the loss has been so slow. I am 9 months post op today and I am down 70 lbs. Just goes to show you that even when it is slow, you blink and 9 months have gone by. I feel so much better... only 30 lbs to go to goal. I think I can do it this time. I did join Weigh****chers recently. Something I thought I would never have to do again, so I was a little sad about that. But you know what? It is different this time. First of all because your tummy is smaller you feel satisfied. Second, because I like "good food" (veggies, etc) much more than I used to before. I am amazed at how much fish I eat now. I would rather have fish than anything. I would have never said that before. My body on the other hand, is not "bouncing back" the way it used to in the past when losing weight. I guess its age. At this same weight years before I could wear smaller clothing. I have had a tummy tuck fund going for a while, but I think I need to add a breast lift to it as well. Poor girls have gone way south.. lol. So, I think in about 20 lbs or so I will start looking into surgeons. All in all this has still been a great experience and I would do it again in a heartbeat, even though so many have lost faster than I have.

Topic: 8 MONTHS TODAY
12-22-03: Merry Christmas everyone! Life is so much better then it was last Christmas! I have lost -85 lbs, -123.75 inches, & 6 to 7 clothing sizes! I am wearing a regular Large, or size 16 in regular clothes, size 18 in jeans (not stretchy!) I think that I am ready to drop a size, actually. I have dropped 4 bra sizes. Just #'s, not cup size! HEHE! I have so much to be grateful for. My family, friends, good health, my home & my own business! My lovely daughter is my greatest gift. My Dad is doing well after having had a mini stroke. Praise God! I have been gifted with wonderful friends that really care about me. I have begun to go out with my friends & date. Yes, I did say date... HEHE, again! I am beginng to get the life that I want. Now, if I can convince my daughter to let up on me about dating, life will really be great! It seems that she has had me to her self, just a wee bit too long. It is going to take a really emotionally stable man to break through her insecurities. I continue to pray for this miracle. I want a full life. My dating seems to threaten her security. It shouldn't. She will always be first in my life, besides God. I'll write again next month. Til then...
Topic: Oh to be "small"......
Just spouting this morning about being "small". My whole life I was heavy, very heavy. When I had my surgery, I was about 315, having lost 15 pounds from my highest weght of 330. Nowadays I hit the scale at 170. I am about a size 11, my boyfriend can lift & carry me!
This has been the right up there in happy times in my life!
I hope everyone else is feeling great, too!
