Hi Jeannie. Congraulations on your weight loss. who would of thought 18mths would go by this fast. it is funny how we all are so different in our weight loss journeys i still cannot eat what i want Bread-pasta-meat-are some of the big NO NO's for me i had a slice of toast last week OMG i thought i would up and die right there it just got stuck even though i chewed it till it was mush i guess that's what makes us unique. Have a great day. Maggie 278/130 @ goal

Topic: Tomorrow is my extreme make over
Yes, I mean exteme! I am scheduled for a LBL (Belt Lipectomy) hernia repair (this includes the abdominioplasty (sp), and Brachioplasty, breast reduction and lift, removal of exess skin on sides of breasts, and medial thigh lift, and lipo to knees. It's alot to do at once, I know, but I am as prepared as can be. I have taken way too much time off from work, and can't keep taking time off to have surgeries, so I am doing it all at once. I have the best Dr. in Illinois, Dr. Fenner! He is goig to do great! All of my costs I have added to my profile if anyone wants to know. I also have before pictures, and will post my after pictures as soon as I can. My befores are here: www.shutterfly.com/view/pictures.jsp Wish me luck! We are all doing so well with our journeys. Keep up the protein and water!! Tricia 247/130 @ goal

Topic: RE: Good idea gone very very bad
You could try the really large rollers....about 4 inches in diameter....sometimes that will help. I also had a perm...they kept me under the dryer until my hair was dry...oh, boy...did I look like a poodle. People just looked at me when I left the salon. I take it the girl did not know what she was doing. Hopefully, if you asked for a loose perm, and you got poodle hair...you did not have to pay. And, if you did, I would be talking to the manager and getting my money back!! Good luck...poodlejess!! Jeannie

Topic: 18 months
Well, I had big plans 18 months ago...that I would be down to goal within 6 - 8 months. Here it is 18 months....and only 70 pounds gone. I know, I am proud as heck with those 70 pounds!!!! And, I have gone from a 22/24 to a 14 in jeans and other clothes!! But, I wanted to get to 150...also...that must be the magic weight number!! I am at 200 - 205. 5'4"....Which I know is ok...but, not what I want. But, apparently, it is what i want or I would be getting these last 50 pounds off. I can eat what I want, and maintain the weight right now. But, at times I will eat too much sugar...oreo's ....I only buy them about 3 times a year...and i get sick every time I eat them....but, oh they are so good. And, at times I eat too much, and get sick. But, other than that, it is like I didn't even have the surgery. All I have to show for it is my scar. Hmmmmmm....I did not go through all that just to get to 200 pounds. So, gotta get on the ball. I have not had time to write anything...and I think I need to get back into this web site a lot more. And, on my gazelle!! Thanks for listening!! Jeannie

Topic: RE: Update on me
Susan - Sounds like you're doing great. Being happy in your life is at least half the battle. Continued success. I lost my mom almost 5 years ago. It's easier today than it was then, but it's not easy some days still - I don't think it every goes away. But in someways it's comforting because by remembering her she's still part of my life.

Topic: Update on me
Cut and paste from my profile: My daughter turned 7 with another big party. She's doing really well and I'm amazed at how quickly time passes. I still miss my mother like crazy. I know she'd be really proud of me, and I wish she had lived to see it. I like to think she's somewhere patting me on the back. Some days I really feel her presence with me. I went for my annual check-up with my general practitioner and got my report card (lab work): Glucose: 93 (70-100) B-12: 532 (220-1000) Total Cholesterol: 150 (100-200) Triglycerides: 64 (50-150) HDL: 74 (40-80) LDL: 63 (66-130) this is the "bad" cholesterol Ferritin: 16 (10-155) Iron Level: 109 (42-135) Total Iron Binding Capacity level: 406 (250-400) Can you say HEALTHY HEALTHY HEALTHY? Work continues to go really well. I can't believe what a difference I feel from when I did this work before. I'm no longer so panicky and stressed out. I can manage the stress of the job and pace myself and work my way through things. I find myself looking at the complaints of my co-workers and seeing my old self and feeling so glad to be free of that. I know that I may not always feel this way, but for now I feel just fabulous!! I used to feel so overwhelmed and frazzled and incapable. Now I know I can do the job (although I still need to learn some things) and I am the one who is eager to volunteer to do things, to jump in and say YES, not whine and say no. I'm sure some of the difference is being on medication for my depression and growing up some. But I know that the weight loss has led to higher self-esteem and higher energy. I am in such a happy place in my life right now: in a great place, good home, happy family, great job, healthy and capable. There are always things that I can work on and things I can't change but choose to accept, but I am just so grateful for what I have. My eating is what it is. I don't eat a strict perfect diet; I enjoy some sweets and some fatty things and I snack sometimes. My appetite is not what it used to be. Most of the time I can stop after a small serving, and I just don't find myself wanting things as much. My weight is down another two pounds, so I'm only about 9 pounds over my original goal weight of 135. I think 120 would be a good place if I was really athletic, but I'm happy with anything between where I am now and that. Hope everyone else is feeling as good as I am, and if you aren't I'm happy to be whatever body part you need me to be: an ear, a shoulder, etc. Huggers, Susan 265/144/135
