What do you want for Christmas?

Since this is a special year this year for all of us. What do you want that would make it really special? I want a new bathroom scale, one that is "normal". My current bathroom scale had to be purchased because I could not weigh on a normal scale. It is ugly dirty and that part of my life is over. I want a little black dress from Express as a "goal outfit" I actually think my girlfriend bought this for me. She was with me the day I fell in love with it. I am short 25 pounds from my original christmas goal, but I don't care. I am still healthier than I was a year ago. Merry Christmas everyone. Pam

just to be happy and merry, and to spend time with my family, theres nothen more that I really want I had my surgery so I am happy with that, I have lost 100 lbs that was my x-mas wish, now just to loose 50 more huuuuhhh

Thanks Pam for this great post! I am praying that my son goes through his surgery on Friday with no problem (he is 4 years old and having his tonsils and adnoids taken out) I also would like my husband to tell me he loves me. He used to be so loving before the surgery and now that I have lost alot of weight he is really struggling. Now for a funny note... I want a pair of gray sweatpants that say "bootylicious" on the butt! LOL I always tease all my size 2 friends that when I get to a single digit size I am going to get these sweats because my new body will be "bootylicious"! I am currently at a size 14/16 ... hopefully not too far away!! Have a wonderful holiday and I hope you get everything you ask for! beth

To keep on lossing, I only lost 69 pds so far, I like to lose 100 more, so many of you lost so much more then me, I do not know what I am doing wrong. I want to spend a Happy Hoilday with my family and friends. My kids are growing up so fast 13-10 years old ones. Just to remember and love everyone. God granted me my wish on June 25th 2007. I had my surgery. Merry Christmas. carman

Hey Carmen....I have lost 100.5, but since surgery, I have lost 76. Keep in mind that we are posting our pre-op loss added to our post surgery loss. I was on an Atkin's type diet for 6 weeks before surgery. If you as me, you're right where you're suppose to be. The rest will come. Although, I know I would like to have it all gone now....I know I have to be patient.

I want my flight to see family to be on time and uneventful. That's about all I can think of right now. I have so much. I have family and friends who are loving and supportive. I have a roof over my head, and clothes. I have plenty of food to eat. I had a gastric bypass, and have worked hard to make the needed lifestyle changes. That was the best gift I've ever given myself. I have my health. I could go on all day. I am very fortunate. I didn't always have plenty, or caring family. I also work with teens who don't have all they need. Happy holidays!
