I haven't been on the June board for a LONG time. I've been perusing the Lapband board but kept away from June... I some how feel that I haven't lost enough and that it has been going so slow. I keep reading of people losing much more than me. I've lost so far 65 pounds. I started at 246 pounds, a size 26 and now I am down I think to a size 16 or 14 and L and XL shirts. I actually don't know my pants size because I don't want to waste money on pants. I do know that 18 is too big. I buy elastic top pants. Actually going into a clothing shop now is pretty daunting. There is so much to choose from. I can exercise good taste instead of settling for what there is in my size. I bought a long puffy, dawn coat at the Gap (never would have considered that in the past) - L was too big! Got a Med.! AND it was on sale. Women's sizes never had sales like that - a coat going down from $150 to $29... Well - that's not why I am writing - I'm rambling on. Although I am losing about 1-2 pounds a week I feel I am eating too much. I am cheating. I want to know if others are doing the same. Here and there I have a Reese's Cup which I LOVE. I taste a few spoonfuls of cake, ice cream or other sweets when they are available. I eat sour cream once in a while (a few spoonfuls), fatty cheeses etc. I had about 10 chestnuts tonight nad a few pieces of pistachio baklava. I can eat endless sashimi...Every thing else I eat a little of everything except bread and rice I guess. Will this be my undoing? PS. On my profile page there is a before and after picture from two months ago.

Hey great, bad news. Great that you know what it is and that its nothing real serious. Bad that kidney stones can be painful...and I now you know you have some kind of medical procedure at a later date. happy New Year dear.

Good for you Robin. And to be able to achieve it during the holidays is just amazing. I have 9lbs to go. So maybe by Valentines day. MichiGirl

Congratulations!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR!
