WAY TO GO, JACKIE!! Your goal is my goal. I have one week to lose these two pesky pounds that will get me to the Century Club. I'm so happy for you. Keep up the good work. Judy

Laura, Way to go with your weight loss! I agree with you about the support from the Aprils. I visit the main board and also the California board. But, the April board is where I feel the most warmth and support. HERE'S TO US!! Judy

Helen, Please, please, please don't feel like a failure! Your pounds will come off, just give it time. I know it doesn't help for me to say that everyone is different. I don't like to hear that either. I prayed that the pounds would melt off me like others I had read about. I am still short of 100 pounds lost (since Feb) by about 2 pounds. But . . . I had already lost 18 at the time of surgery. So, in actuality, I have only lost 80 since surgery. See, I am a slow loser, also. I'm sorry you dont' have a support group. I am always here if you want someone to talk to or bounce ideas off of. I really enjoyed your journal and am very envious of your beauty!! You are one hot babe. Your husband is the loser, not you. I am also a single mom of two, although they are on their own now. Take care and write to me, please. Judy [email protected]

I noticed that too when you get to the smaller sizes you move through them faster!! I hit goodwill and consignment shops for bargains I don't want to spend too much when they won't fit next week!! Keep up the good work!! Jennifer 252/166/140 ish??

Topic: 6 months update and wow moment
I know it is a little past the 5th, haven't been on much sorry! Went to doc, doing good. I am down from 310 to 223 and still losing a couple a week. I did have a wow moment too. I tried on some jeans to wear for winter, they fit so I bought them only to put them on a wk later and they were way too big. I dont know how but it happened. So I took them back to get a smaller size and I have been wearing those for a couple wks and now those are getting too big for me. I guess I am going to have a pair of jeans in every sizewell take care all and have a good one.......Dede

Topic: I just thought I'd do a bit of sharing...
Today is my 6 month surgiversary (I'm just lovin' that new word!) and have lost 85 pounds to date. I'm lost three pants sizes, two blouse sizes, 1/2 a shoe size, three bra cup sizes, and two bra band sizes. Enough about what I've lost, what I've gained is so much more important: I've gained confidence, the ability to make healthy food choices, renewed admiration from my husband, better blood pressure readings and an all around better attitudes. This was the most amazing experience of my life, second only to the birth of my child. I don't mind answering anyone's questions, I believe knowledge is power. Maybe if I tell someone a piece of information, they can tell someone who needs it and they can take steps to have this (in my humble opinion) life saving procedure. As with all April patients here, I've experienced plateaus. I also experienced anxiety, depression, dumping and the feelings of why, in the name of all that is holy, did I do this to myself? I wouldn't have changed a thing...I learned lessons from it all, as have all of you. Be healthy, my friends...we're all in this for the long haul!! L*

Topic: RE: My 6 month update.
Thanks Helen for the compliment, acturally I just turned 40 in June....LoL! That makes me feel so good! To get these kind of remarks. So you live Down Under! OMG ! That is one of my Big Dream Vacations I plan on taking one of these days, there and New Zealand are on my list. My parents have been to both and they said that its so awesome over there. I can't wait to come visit your country. Now that I will be able to get into a airline seat with out any hassle. I mean in another year or two. I am going to have a bunch of plastic surgery done! Not realy looking foward to that quite yet though. Well I have to call it a day and get some zzzz's. Thanks again, Hugs Tom
