jumpin' on the "new pic" wagon!
i've updated pics on my profile (sorry for tootin' my own horn!)
i could kick myself in the a$$ for not taking pre-op measurements. i know i've lost many inches. when i look in the mirror i can see a noticable difference in my face and neck but nowhere else. but when i look at pictures, i REALLY see a difference. i actually have a neck!!! 
in 7 weeks i've lost 42 pounds and am down 3 sizes. imagine if i were exercising like i should be. 
i've got a long way to go but i am so grateful that, for the first time in my life, i KNOW it's possible and SEE it happening 
.
remember that Oprah show years ago when she came out pulling that wagon with the fat, the same amount of weight she'd lost? just imagine if our April family went on her show with all the weight we've lost (and WILL LOSE).... it would LITERALLY take DUMP TRUCKS!!!!!!! wooooooohooooooooo!! congratulations to ALL of you on your losses thus far.
TGIF everyone.... have a splendid (or splenda) weekend

Lisa,
Good for you!!! You are doing great. I had my surgery the day before you. I also have lost 42 pounds however, I have not gone down and sizes. Things are really starting to fit differently and that is making me feel better. I started out at 366 so I am getting ansy to get below the 300 mark.
I am also off my blood pressure meds which is a great joy!
Thank goodness I am also starting to get my energy back. Now I am ready to get serious about changing my habits and taking back my life.

Hi Denise 
Thank you! And congratulations on YOUR loss so far! I KNOW what you mean about wanting a cold 
... it's been in the high 90's this week down here. The humidity has been unreal. I don't drink beer but what I wouldn't give for a big pina colada or frozen margarita! 
Well, I wouldn't give anything for one. As Oprah said, "Nothing tastes as good as being thin feels", and I am finally coming to see and believe that she was so right. I couldn't say that a year ago. I love food, love cooking and for so many many years, the taste of food was so much more important than losing weight. I'm grateful for having been given the tool to help change and improve my life and to remove this b.s. from my mind.
