today was a mileston...

today was a milestone day! my 9 month surgery anniversary is february 2nd, and today i hit the -100 lb mark since surgery day. 304 to 204. from beginning to now is 330 to 204, -126 lbs. Six more lbs down and I will weigh exactly 60% of where I began. strange days indeed. strange and wonderful. 198 will be great!!! pants tight 54 to loose 38 shirt 4X to L shoes 10.5 to 9.5 ring 12.5 to 10.5 everything has shrunk except the Tallywhacker. Bonus Time! sorry if that's TMI. but if you ladies can talk about PMS and bra sizes, I can fill you in on the male end of things, so to speak. anyway, thanks for all the support. I'm glad we have this place to come and hang out with likeminded folks walking the same path. I'm off to pick up a suit that my father-in-law bought me as a congratulations gift. I've had to buy whole new wardrobe except for socks and shoes.

way to go ......................... whooooo hooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Way to go, Joe!!!! My gosh, you are getting down-right skinny! Doesn't it feel wonderful?! Good job!!! Deanna

Woohoo on the talleywacker! Actually did you know that you lose a centimeter in length for ever 35-50lbs overweight you are so your equipment should actually appear longer to you now. Good Job! ANDI

OMG andi.. where do u get this stuff.. we know it gets bigger .. but no.. u gotta announce it.. you are such a card... lol.. congrats Jo.. congrats on getting smaller almost everywhere... lol

Hey that's a medical fact and there is nothing wrong with stating fact

we've talked "at length" about all this on the men's board... for every 30 lbs lost, one can expect to gain about 1/2 an inch of "usable length". I can attest to this. 126 divided by 30 = 4.2 X .5 = 2.1 all I can say is I'm surprised the surgeons don't advertise this to increase the number of their male clientele!

Well well well...I didn't know this interesting fact. You learn something new everyday - and trust Andi to enlighten me ha ha You've brightened up my dull morning Now if only I can find a way to get my skinny hubbie to lose some pounds...hmmmm

Whilst i think the idea of gaining a half inch of usable length seems plausible it really is more like one centimeter if you're going by medically and if you lie on your back it looks like more so let her do the work and you get to look even bigger! ANDI

Maybe too much info as we can all now (should we be so inclined) calculate the minimum for Joe... hee hee
