Didn't know you April 07's were out there! :)

It is so amazing that all of you replied,,,,,Thank you,,,I feel part of something other then my own mind and body! hahaa Seems that is all I have had since the surgery! I walked 2 miles today so I feel like I am getting back on track! I am ready to lose again. I think that I have a lot of skin that I am going to be dealing with and so my stomach is not looking that great and that makes me sad! I am not willing to undergo a surgery so I am hoping that my skin will go back to normal or at least go back a little given time..Hopefully I am right! Thank you to all of you for the warm welcome,,,I feel so great tonight knowing you are all out there going through the same process as I am! hugs to all Susan

I must be small boned or the clothes I am buying are very generous. But I am 5'5" and started at 270 size 20-22 and am now 140 and size 4 in pants and med in tops or size 10 in tops. I have a larger bust. I exercised like crazy the first 7 months, and had a personal trainer and I think that really helped me get the weight off and tone my body. Maybe that's why I am so much smaller at around the same weight and height as some other people here. But I hear you on the not having to be so careful because I look good part. I have rediscovered chocolate and I don't dump on it so that was not a very good thing. But I did stall at about 160 pounds for about 6 weeks or so and then I upped my exercise routine, changed it up and lost the last 20 in about a month. Good luck to you, Jody
