Oh Bless your heart Honey.... I didn't have that happen... altho walking from my home to my mothers I stepped on my skirt and it flell right off. ( we live near the highway - hopefully no one saw ) Needless to say from now on... if they are the slightest bit loose... They have a safety pin in them. Keep loosing ( no pun intended ) LOL

Surgery was 4-25 start wt of 345and I am currently 268, so 77lbs total my goal is 155-165. Carol

I had an embrassing thing happen to me yesterday. I went next door to the local hamburger joint to get a tuna salad for lunch. I was waiting in line to pay and a young lady behind me tapped me on the shoulder and said "excuse me, but I think you lost something". Looking down I realized my slip had dropped to the floor. Needless to say I was mortified. I kicked it to the corner and picked it up, and instead of getting lunch, I went to the mall and bought new underwear, slips and bras! Cost me a fortune, but I never want to have some guy tell me my panties are on the floor!!!

Im also 17 weeks out. Ive lost a total of 77 lbs. I hit a stall 3 weeks ago and stayed at 274 for 3 weeks!!! I checked with my support group and they all said to keep exercising and check amounts of protein and carbs. I started my food journal again and was suprised to find I was taking in ALOT more carbs than I thought. And I was'nt getting enough protein in. I started getting in 60-80g of protein daily and keeping carbs around 40-45. I lost 8 lbs in a week. It's soooooooooo easy to slip into eating whatever you can, that you don'****ch it as closely as you should. Carol 345/268/155

Hey gang, Well I was reborn on 4/18/05. Starting weight 287 and as of 8/24/05 I have lost a total of 70lbs and weigh 217. YEAAAAHHHH. I've slowed down sooo much but I feel great. People are starting to notice me. Still have about 62lbs to go to put me at my goal of 155. That's a realistic goal considering I am 5'8 1/2". I'll get there. My goal is to be able to fit into a loose size 12 jeans. Currently I am in a size 16 and some 18 depending on the cut of the pants. I'm happy though because it's a big change from wearing a 26/28. I really wanted to be one of those people who lost 100lbs in 6 months but if I don't lose 30 lbs in the next two months I'll still be happy. My goal for right now is to get under 200lbs. I only have 17 to lose and that will put me right at 200. I know I can do at least that amount in 2 months. Well, wish me luck and everyone keep up the excellent effort and hard work. See ya until my next post.
