-50.5!!

After just 2 months, I'm down 50 pounds!! I'm so excited and I feel great!!! Now, the only question is, how do I celebrate? I'm thinking jewelry! Jem 4/24/05 326.5/276/165 5'8"/28

Jewelry is a good idea. Years ago I bought myself a long gold chain. I bought a gold ball for each 10 lbs lost and an onyx ball for each additional 5 lbs and alternated them. Great idea! Kathy lap RNY 5/20/05~ 5'7.5"~ 276/244/209.5/160 ~consult/preop/curr/goal

Oh yeah, go for the jewelry! I'm all about that! I like the gold chain and gold balls idea too. Diane

Jem, Congrats and jewelry is an excellent idea. I have an Italian charm bracelet that I am adding to upon reaching certain milestones. For having the surgery, I bought the bracelet plus a charm with the May birthstone. For 25 lbs. I got a butterfly charm and for losing my first 10% (29 lbs) I have a sunflower charm. I was out looking for my 50 lb charm this weekend, but didn't find one I liked. I might well wait until I hit -58 (20% of starting weight) and get the two at once. The rest of my charm-worthy milestones are: -75 -87 (30%) -100 -116 (40%) -125 GOAL When I wear the bracelet it is a constant reminder of what I have done and I wear it with pride. Take care, J

A Fifty Pound Charm is gonna be aweful hard to carry on your wrist..... Kate Z
