Topic: RE: First REAL wow moment!!!
Hi Courtney, I have the same problem, I am smaller on top with huge legs and butt and I get bony on top and in my waist but the bottom keeps hanging on. I will say that it has gone down some so it will eventually go down. At least I can put on a dress and look somewhat thin if I hide my legs. You are doing so good and I am planning on joining curves too so I will let you know how I am doing after I get started. Hugs, Esther

Topic: RE: Head Catching up with the body!
Enjoy it Beth! That's one of the things that I love about my surgery. I'm so ditzy I keep going to the size 20s because I forget I'm wearing 16s and 18s. lol Yesterday I was getting dressed for my walk and grabbed one of my 22/24 shirts and my husband's sweats. Force of habit I guess. The shirt was HUGE and the sweats, well, let's just say someone else could have gotten in with me. LOL I ran into another friend during my walk and she said "didn't grab your skinny clothes today?". lol After being heavy/obese/whatever for so long I think it does take a while for our brains to catch up. I almost fainted when I saw 189.0 on the scale AND my high school class ring fit this morning. I haven't worn that in 24 years!!! LOL Your new avatar is gorgeous! Keep up the great work! * Cyndi *

Way to go Courtney, I can so relate to you....was just thinking last night that I wish my bottom half would catch my top half. Like you I am in an 18/20 top and a 26 bottom. I hate being a pair. LOL I still would not trade the weight I have lost for anything though Gayle

Great Job! When we get to see a big change in our weight or measurments it makes wls worth the troubles! Keep working those legs--they are just being stubborn, they will have to give in and melt away too..Have a great Day!!! BJ

Topic: Head Catching up with the body!
Has anyone run into this one? My head still thinks that I am the same size! My body is smaller now and my clothes do not fit, so I have to buy smaller, but when I go to the store, I go to the big sizes and then work my way down. I just posted this avatar and I can hardly recognize me sometimes. It is strange but good.... just another phase it the journey... Can anyone relate? Beth

It's me AGAIN! I went to Curves today...and realized it was "measurement day". So they did my measurements--and since the 20th of last month.........I have lost a total of 15 lbs and 28.5 inches!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 28.5 inches in one month!? Crazy!!!!!!!!! I lost almost 11 inches off my WAIST. Incredible! I can TOTALLY tell a difference in my shirts though--and everyone keeps commenting on my upper body-----------I'm down to a size 18/20 shirt---and still in a stupid size 26 pants! Irritating!! I can't get down in pants size because my legs are the biggest part of me and they don't seem to be shrinking too rapidly! Grrrrrrrrrr!!! But oh well....I'm happy with the rest of it! =) Just wanted to share! Courtney

Thank you Kathy! I'm 5'8" so my top "normal" weight is 161. lol Less than 30 lbs. until I'm "normal". I don't quite see me as "normal" and I'm sure not going to stop at 161. I'm gonna celebrate and have TWO SF fudgsicles during GH tonight. Can't wait to celebrate with you!!!! Keep up the great work! * Cyndi *

You look great Courtney!! Such a big difference! It's great to see, huh? You should get Donna to create a side by side for you- she did one for me and you can really see a difference then! Congrats to you on your success! Kathy
