I am so glad to hear that. I know that I am always excited to see the cards from all of you. We will have to make this an annual event.

Isn't it fun? My kids keep asking me "Who is that card from?" I keep telling them my internet friends.

Topic: Thank You Thank You Ladies
I want to thank you in advance for the Christmas cards. I have received some cards and the others I am anxiously awaiting! I probably will not be on the internet in the next week so I wanted to wish you all a very merry Christmas and a very blessed New Year. We will be successful in our weight loss journey together!! Well wishes from Northern California.

Hi Jennifer,
Congratulations! Things are slowing down for me as well, but I figure I will take any weight loss I can get this month. I can't remember the last time I actually LOST weight during the holidays. Can you? Good job!
Topic: RE: 6 months out!
I'm piggybacking on Jenn's thread here.
Today is my six month surgery anniversary (I'm still not quite comfortable with the so called surgiversary terminology.) I'm down 147 pounds. I'm in size 54 waist pants down from size 70. I'm in size 4x - 3xlt t-shirts from 6x's and back into size 20 and 19 dress shirts from size 24.
I'm working out 4-5 days a week now; cardio, weight resistance, core strength building. I feel like I can take on the world right now.
I talked with my surgeon on Friday and he said my goal of getting to around 225 (another 153 pounds) is not unreasonable. It would be extraordinary, but given how far I've come so fast, it's within reach.
I celebrated this morning with a 40 minute weight lifting rotation. I'm celebrating this afternoon with a 45 minute eliptical rotation. New pictures coming after I reach the 150 pound loss mark.
Thanks for all of your support and sharing the steps on your journey. You continue to insprire and challenge.

That's Awesome!
I'm 6 months also and almost exactly mimmick your loss and everything. I'm only down 50 pounds and from a 26 to a 16 as well. It's cool HUH!
It's funny all of my skinny friends are like did you cut your hair or something???? And all of my plus size friends are like WOW. You've lost half a person????
Does anyone know if your body remodels like with the Roux-en-y
????? I've been told by friends with the GP that this happens. You all keep up the good work!

HI Jennifer,
congrats on the 6 month mark. How do you feel? Are you able to eat more now?
I'm also a slow loser and I definitely know how frustrating that is. I think I lost only 1 or 2 pounds this month also. What's up with that? My pants feel tighter also (even though I lost). I am getting frightened that I've stopped losing. I go for my 6 mointh check-up tomorrow.... wonder what the doc will say?
Anyway, you're doing great! and doesn't it feel good to have lost nearly 60 pounds?
Hugs,
Cindy
