May 15th, 2003: My Rebirth Day!!

Hi! To date, I've lost 92 lbs...down from 254 to 162lbs. I FINALLY feel NORMAL. My goal isn't to be thin, but normal! But perhaps I will even be thin someday! I consider that a plus My life is so much better...no more worries about airplane seats, movie theater seats, booths in restaurants, weight limits on carnival rides, etc. etc. etc.!!! Cindy

Hi Cinthia, I wrote you not long after my surgery May 12, 03. I have only lost 80 lbs (only! I can't believe I said that!) but I'm on the plateau from hell! 2 plus months at 227!!(down from 307) Any suggestions? I'm from Elkridge, by the way. Thanks... Connie

May 15th is my New Life day also...! I am down from 406 to 255 lbs... My goal was 250 but I think I will be trying for a bit more... Yes I hear you on all that seat stuff...? Going out to eat, the movies, can't wait to go to Disney World and go on every ride they have...! Maybe it is just me but do you some times still think you are large and not going to be able to fit in the seats... I went out to eat the other day and I was still worried about fitting into the booth? I fit no problem but... Just had that feeling still in my brain...???? Weird...?

WAY TO GO CINDY....I am so happy and proud for you! I am down 105 lbs after 9 months. My rebirth day is May 22, 2003 and will be coming up on 1 year the same as you......keep up the great work! Take care and God Bless! Your "looser" friend Kim Gregory
