13 months....

I haven't been on the posts recently to tell all the May 2007 people happy anniversary and I hope everyone is doing well, feeling healthy and not regretting getting ourselves back!! I cannot believe it has been over one year since I've had my operation...time sure does fly! I went into my closet the other day to try on new clothes that I swear fit me last month but are all too big now. My highest weight was 325 lbs in May 2007 the day of the operation and is now 194lbs. I sometimes find myself on a plateau but just keep on doing what I'm suppose to be doing. Again, happy anniversary to all May 2007 people!!!! Stacy

Nice job, Stacy! 131 pounds is a big accomplishment! I think we all get stuck once in a while, some more than others, like me. You're right though, just keep plugging along. Happy anniversary to you too, ~April

Congratulations Stacy! We started out about the same. My highest was 325lbs though I was 318 the day of surgery. And after a long plateau I made it to 180lbs but now am stuck again Sigh...... A day at a time though!!! I am happy with where I am now though.....jsut do not wnat to get too comfortable IYKWIM I would like to reach that ultimate goal of 150lbs. As for trying on new clothes....it has become an obsession! but I try not to buy too many since I am still losing and will not be in them long. Keep up the hard work - it is paying off! And stop by more often! Donna

Donna, Thanks! Congratulations on your weight loss. That's great!!! I went through my closet and drawers yesterday (its been a while) and got rid of alot. I had no room in the closet and drawers and knew that most did not fit! I was right!! I hate buying more than a few things due to not fitting in them for a long time. I just bought size 18 last month and now they're really big. I also HATE to shop so its a chore for me!! lol!!! Guess I need to get over that real quick!! I was able to wear high heels to a party last night...something I haven't been able to do in years. I was happy but hubby was happier!!! Again, congratulations. 150 is a good, reasonable weight to achieve. I'm sure you will! I want to get to about 160.
