Hey you guys! Thanks for the hugs! I really feel great about this accomplishment, considering how long I was stuck 3 pounds away from 100... whew! But like I say on my profile... I am totally re-focused, and I intend to see this all the way through. There is no other option but success! 39 to go to goal! Whoo hoo!!! Angie 280/179/140 http://www.geocities.com/tiger_angie

I have picked up six pounds this week...where I don't know except perhaps water...I am now in the midst of removing salt items. Which is hard when you eat out. I have two BBQs coming up and know it will probably be 2 days before I can be salt free. I just hope I can hold this 6 pounds at bay. I am only 11 months out...I was so hoping to continue loss into the 18 mos. I have been the same way as you....the fat armor was always there to help. I need to reinforce the fact that the fat armor wasn't really helping me it was rindering me in a bad way. Its tough to get out of your comfort zone but it helps tremendously with this journey. Find a small goal that can get you out the czone. For me it was posting my new pic... I have been afraid to let go of the old me! That little step has helped me alot. Debbie

Hi 'bugs . . . Well today 5/29 is my official 11th month out and I'm kinda bummed as it appears that I've GAINED 2-3 lbs this weekend, hopefully it's water weight as my TOM is right around the corner, grrrrrrr. I am down to "180" from 300 for a loss of 120 lbs to date. Down from size 5X/30-32 to 12's and 14's. I've lost 8 inches in my bust PLUS down one cup size. Lost about 1/2 of my thick hair at month 5 but now have "sproings" growing back in for that sexy unkempt look, ahem. My body looks like a sharpei on crack . . . but there's always PS to fix that. -BJ who is SERIOUSLY going to be watching her CARB INTAKE for the next four weeks!!!

Today is my 11 month anniversary and I have lost 101 pounds. I FINALLY join the "elite" century club, peeps! Gimme some hugs!!! Angie 280/179/140 http://www.geocities.com/tiger_angie http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/profile.phtml?N=L1098876573

I NEVER imagined I'd be in a fitting room trying on size 4 jeans and capri's. Decided to pick up some capri's since I don't look good in shorts with the loose skin on my legs. And yes a size 4 fit fine, in fact the waist is a bit loose. My one year anniversary is up on June 14th and I've lost 144 pounds, went from a size 24 to a size 4. I never could have imagined that this time last year. Life is so much better living it as a thin person! Guess I just have to remember that "nothing tastes as good as thinness feels."
