Melanie ,
Yes you have done an awesome Job . Today is my Ninth Month Anniversary , and I would do this everyday in order to achieve the results that I have .
I am going to wait on my PS .. My doc wants us to be 100 % of goal and maintaining for a year .. so as when the skin is removed .. there is no ? about regain or new loss .
I would take the skin too .. no one sees it but me ! However , if insurance approves it . . I am there ..
Take care and God Bless .

Topic: 9 month anniversary
Hello May brothers and sisters! My official 9 month weight is 138!!! I'm 7 lbs away from goal. I can wear size 4 pants now! Holy crap, me... a size 4!!! Dr. Houston said i've lost 93% of my excess weight. Life is wonderful! Thank you, Jesus!!! Thank you!!! With the exception of the births of my children, this has been the greatest blessing in my life. I have ZERO regrets. People are referring to me as thin, tiny, skinny minnie. Those are terms that have never in any way related to me and its odd to hear it now. Doc gave me a list of plastic surgeons in Nashville. I'll be looking into that very soon. So much of my body is in need of help lol. Still, i'd taking 80 yr old skin over being fat any day. I cant say this enough.... THANK YOU, JESUS!!! God bless!!

then I decided we need to get out of the house on this beautiful day and just go somewhere different. So we went shopping in WV about an hour and a half from home, then went from restaurant to restaurant trying to find a nice place to eat with out waiting over an hour to be seated. Well where did we end up, Hooters, lol. NOw here is my bad part of the day dinner- half a hooters cheese burger, 4 hot wings, 2 celery, and a sip uf my hubbys beer. bad bad me for dinner. My son ended up eating his first raw oyster on the half shell, and then had another, lol he gets that from his dad, oysters yuck!! Is it bad when your 6 yr old flirts with the Hooters waitress?!! He said she was pretty, boy am I gonna have my hands full when he gets older. Well thats enough for me I will do better tomorrow- Melissa

Hey girl! I know how you are feeling. I have been out of control lately....and its scaring the **** out of me!! Starting on MOnday....I am gonna start writing down everything I eat. I need to stop with the chocolate...I dont dump on chocolate...so its hard to stay away. I need to start drinking more water and getting enough protein in everyday. I haven't lost anything in weeks. If you need to talk, I am here....

Now don't you make me whip out more preachin gurl .. Wow .. it is hard .. I know .. I get so much from my nutricionist .. man.. when I want something sweet .. I grab a protein bar .. I found one Susan I swear taste just like a bananna split. Susan Maria sells them - STRIVE BARS . I pick at them all day . You might just want to start counting your calories versus what you are eating... at Goal weight you can add more calories . Jus****ch the carbs .. and if you are exersising.. the better ..
I am proud of you .. you are now thinking about your choices and see what needs to be adjusted .. I have so many tricks to this .. for eating .. what I mean is .. I have learned to substitute the bad stuff for good .
Take care ..
Nat
