compliments all the time and I started getting checked out again from males again, yes I'm married but it feels good to know you still got the stuff to strut :)  Looking and feeling young and sexy again.

Highest Weight in 2009: 453 lbs (highest overall weight 570 lbs in Oct. 2008)

Goal Weight: my surgeon set my goal at 250, I changed it today to 220 lbs

Best WOW moment so far: I haven't really had any thus far but in the last week I have had two.
1. Thanksgiving day I was replacing the touch pad on my brother-in-laws laptop and placed the laptop on my lap.  I haven't had a usable lap in 20+ years, since high school.
2. I put a shirt on and it was a 2x and it was loose and that was with two drain bulbs and dressing and binder.

Size at beginning of year: I started this year in a size 7X shirt and size 54 pants.
Current size: 2X shirts and size 42 or 44 pants

Nothing really life altering this year but I did get a panniculectomy and a hernia repaired this month and that was a big think for me.

Wow! Didn't know McDonalds had sugar free coffee!! I'll try it! What is the brand of peach diet ice tea? I like the Liptons Citrus tea and I can handle it sometimes. Depends on the day I guess. LOL. Thanks for the heads up! 

Wow, I'm glad to hear everyone is doing so well.  My surgery was April 27th, 2009.  I'm down 105 pounds and have 29 to get to goal weight of 140.  I haven't had many issues with getting sick on any foods, but I'm afraid my old habbits with start creeping up on me.  I know I don't eat hardly the amount of food I did before surgery but I get scared sometimes of the choices I make.  Like tonight I had a small strawberry shake.  I had about 1 cup of strawberry icecream mixed with 1/2 cup of fat free milk.  I don't know if I should feel guilty about cheating once in awhile.   I do know I can still control myself , because before surgery I could order the largest shake at Mcdonald's and have the thing all gone a drank in 10 minutes.    I'm still losing, sometimes the weightloss slows down for a few weeks.    I excercise three to four days a week for an hour daily.  I do 30 minutes of cardio and 30 minutes of weight lifting.    I still look in the mirror and see a heavy person,  I hate pictures of myself.  I hope this changes soon,  I hope when I hit goal weight I still won't feel self concisious.
