HI BJ, Take heart, we all go thru "separation anxiety" of one form or another. I passed all my clothes down to my friends who had WLS after me. They so greatly appreciated the hand me downs. It made me feel good to be able to help them divert the huge expense of replacing good clothes, for a short period of time. I am 6' tall, and all my friends are shorter so I had no one to get clothes from, and when you are replacing everything from your shoes to bras, as you know, it gets costly. Giving to friends or charity, is good for the soul. So, now....Go Shopping!!! Wishing you continued success, Pam

I've posted a new document on my website that I thought we all can get something out of You can find it at: http://www.geocities.com/tiger_angie/EmbraceYourPlateau.pdf Angie 280/175/135 http://www.geocities.com/tiger_angie

Ang, I have been so nonexisitant on this group but I do read the posts as they are delivered to my email. Anyway, yours stood out to me because we have the same anniversary, the same starting weight and the same amount lost. How's that for something in common? I don't know how tall you are but I am 5'4"-5'5" and I am wearing size 12 or size lrg pants and size lrg or xlrg tops. I feel like I'm pretty average now. Not skinny but definitely not fat anymore. Such a wonderful feeling. I'd like to lose about 20 more pounds but I think I'm gonna have to kick the exercise up a notch to get there. LOL I'd also like to find my boobs and my butt. I seem to have misplaced them somewhere. ;) Congratulations to everyone!!! What a wonderful year this has been for us all. I'll try to stay in touch more. I know how important it is to be a part of a support network. Especially now that we will all have to work hard to either keep losing or at least not regain. Happy Anniversary to EVERYONE!!!!
