So, Mark left for Washington, DC this afternoon for an expo. Of course, this is Britt's dance recital week so I'm left to my own defenses. LOL My goofy weight has been bouncing from 142.8 to 144.3 for weeks and weeks. I've been comfy in my size 6 jeans. A few Juniors things I can wear a 7 or 9. Totally cool. So, I got a $10 off any $10 purchase coupon from Fashion Bug. On the way to the college for recital practice I realized this was the last day for that coupon. How can you lose a $10 off $10 purchase coupon? So, we went in and I tried on some skorts. I'm okay with shirts but seriously lacking in the bottoms department. I tried on an 8 and it was huge. Huh??? I just chalked it up to being one of those low-rise things that I hate. I asked Britt to get me a 6. Well, 11 years olds don't do more than you ask so the size 4 and size 6 had their tags twisted together. Far be it for Britt to untwist them and bring me the 6. She says "I brought them both just in case." For a laugh I tried on the 4 first. WHAT???? ME???? Not only did I try it on but it FREAKING FIT!!!!!! I was so excited I had to call Mark as he was driving. He just laughed, asked if I'd danced around the dressing room doing my dance and yelling "I'm in a size 4! I'm in a size 4!" and to just get it in whatever colors I wanted. Okay, I'll fess up. I did do my happy dance and sing my song. I just didn't tell him. So, today, May 6, 2008, just 19 days short of my 1 year surgiversary.....I BOUGHT SIZE 4 SKORTS!!!!!! The funniest part? This time last year I was in size 26! Can you tell I love my RNY???? * Cyndi *

Congratulatons Toni on yourSurgiversary!!! Donna

You've done great, John. A little bump along the path will not stop your success. I went back and forth 5lbs. then up 5lbs. down for about 6 weks. It sucked, but I got past that and am doing well again. So will you. I believe that you will be back next week with better news. Look forward to hearing it!! ~April

WTG, Courtney! I still find this experience to be absolutely amazing!! Don't you?

Thank you, Cyndi! it seemed like a l-o-n-g time to get here, but so glad I did!!
