I forgot how great this site is! I read alot of your posts and its so nice to know I'm not alone in what we go through. I've had so many wow moments, I think the biggest is going in and getting a new drivers license picture since so many people kept giving me the double take. It was the best $11.50 I ever spent! I look so much younger! As for the negative, my Mom, Dad and Brother still don't say much about the weight I lost. It's like you had surgery so I guess I didn't have anything to do with the weight loss! It's so hard because my Dad was the one that every time I saw him he made me feel like crap because he would always comment about my weight and now that I look and feel so much better you think he'd be happy for me, but no! The weight sure has slowed down alot but I can't complain, I'm down 95 lbs and even if I didn't lose another pound the surgery was so totally worth it! It's so nice to hear that all of you are doing good as well, I wish you the best! Will get in the habit of going on here more often, you guys are awesome! Take care, Janeen

Well I hope that everyone is doing well. I have been busy with some home remodeling....Have fun Cyndi...it is so exciting when it is done. And also on your Dr. appoinment and Century Club Status!!!! I saw the Dr. on the 3rd for my six month check and all my blood work was wonderful. I have lost 80 pounds and around 35 inches. She said I was doing good. I feel like I am not losing like I should be. I know I am not supposed to compare myself to tohers, but that is very hard. I feel like I eat very little....been behind on my fluids and exercise....but I still don't eat enough calories to impact the scale. The Dr. said it would slow down from here out....but dang...this is super slow!!!! Any suggestions on how to get the scale moving again? Will I ever make it to my goal? Thanks for listening everyone.....off to take a relaxing, hot bath...it is freezing in Indiana!!!!

Its seems like a trend I am having mine out on December 18th......

Hi Mayers! I'm doing freaking fabulous! I *should* make the Century Club tomorrow. I saw my surgeon today and he told me I'm way ahead of schedule. Thanksgiving isn't a big deal. We're heading down to North Carolina to spend time with Mark's family. I just dread that his mom wants to have a luncheon at her house....the smoke from my FIL is gonna kill me! I go down with TONS of Febreze (and extra clothes) on hand. Thank goodness the Hampton Inn has a laundry area. We'll tell them we're going to freshen up and I'll have them take showers and wash hair while I wash the clothes in the laundry area. Yes, I HATE smoke and everything to do with it. It ****** me off since my MIL knows how I feel about going in her smoky, stinky house. Funny enough, for southern women my MIL and SIL aren't the greatest cooks so I'll just take some protein shake stuff with me and make an excuse. LOL I'm going to start some home renovations soon. I can't wait! I asked Santa for some nice power tools and some Home Depot gift cards. I'm sure Santa will come through. lol My best friend started working for my husband's company to take a little off me. I'm so happy. She's been a great cheerleader for me (even went to my surgeon's appt today with me). It's freezing cold here so I haven't been walking like I should. Gotta buckle down and spend time with Richard Simmons and Leslie Sansone. Other than all that..........I'm doing GREAT!!!! * Cyndi *

I hope so, sometimes the hurtful comments upset me, I guess its not just an adjustment for me, but everyone close to me as well
