Just being nosy!!

Tammy, I was reading your statistics and I couldn't believe that ours are so similar. I'm 5'4", date of surgery 226, current weight 216, goal weight 160. amanda www/stainedglassdesigns.com

My beginning weight was 258 lbs, I am 5'8, Friday I weighed 159 lbs, and my goal is to weigh 148, but I would love it if I got to 140. I started out wearing a size 18/20 and maybe some 22's, and am now wearing sizes from 8 to 10. I would like to be a solid size 8 or smaller, as I sit here and stuff my face full of lasagne, (don't worry I am not eating the pasta.) Lori 258/159/148

Thank you all! that was wonderful to read how great everyone is doing and how happy everyone is!! I hate to sound harsh, but that was sooo much different than what I got on the main board....mostly the responses consisted of "I dont know why I dont weigh as much as her" grrrr...some times that is extremely irritating!!!! You are all Fabulous!!! Thanks again Katie

We're used to a big diversity of experiences here. We also have been here supporting each other through Plateaus, "pop-up" temporary gains, and through major successes. God willing we'll be here even when some of us (hopefully don't) have problems with actual gains. . .or supporting each other when we stop losing and need to learn how to maintain, plastics and beyond. We're all entitled to our opinions, but I respect it much more when people can say "Congratulations" in the celebration post, and if they're having a problem - post it in a separate post that says "Hey, can I have some support?" posts. I agree - April 2004 board rocks. Yea Us! ~Lara PS - thanks for a cool thread - everyone got to brag!!!

GO us, GO us, go go go us! ::shakin' it:: -beth
