It's me again...
Just thought I'd pop on and give an update on me. It's been quite awhile and I'm sorry. I miss being able to come on and see how everyone is doing.
Since I started the new job in January, life has been crazy. I've been learning the new job, putting in lots of hours at work. Have been dealing with my son and his issues and been very stressed with all of that. I haven't been working out very much and am just now starting to get back into it.
I ran out of my water pill for my blood pressure and decided not to refill as my blood pressure is normal without it. Well....that added 5 lbs to my weight and it wouldn't go away. It didn't increase any more than that, but it stuck on my for a month. Well....that just frustrated the crap out of me and I figured I was done losing weight and whatever..."I'll just eat some cookies. Who cares any way?!" Hmmmm wonder how I got to be over weight? I know a lot of it was from the stress and all I was feeling already, that just compounded the feelings. Then after a month, the scale finally started moving the middle of last week.....FINALLY!!!!!!!!!! A friend from the MN board said that your body remembers weights that it was for prolonged periods of time and tries desperately to hang on to that weight. Well...that would be right. I've gone from 300.8 to 187 lbs. It hung on to 192 and wouldn't let go....I did weigh that for a long time. So, I've lost 113.8 lbs. I'm happy about that.
My goal was to get healthy and I've done that. I feel good. I'm in a 16 and hoping those will continue to get looser. I can pull them down without unzipping after I've worn them.
Another frustration has been the skin....OH MY LORD!!!! This was something I KNEW I'd have lots of, but didn't think it would bother me. I don't have anyone in my life to impress and who cares right?! Well...wow, that's another thing that has really gotten me down. I've concluded that I am not going to look in the mirror naked. LOL I'll look after I have my clothes on. *S*
Well.....I better get to bed. Work comes early. Take care everyone and hope to get back into posting more frequently, I really miss you guys!

It's great to see you Pam!
I so hear you on the skin issue. I know if I had a LBL I would loose at least 7 lbs.
I am having a hard time kick starting my loss again. I seem to be stuck at a 90-92 lb loss and it's frustrating as I had/have a total of 107 lbs to reach my goal of 135.
Any one else having a hard time? Tips? Thoughts?
At least my arms look good so I can wear sleeveless tops this summer. (I'm such a positive thinker!)

Pam: you and your family have been in my thoughts. I hope things get better for your son and that you are able to enjoy a little time for yourself and away from your job.
You have done so well with your weight loss, I'm sure the stall was a combo of your medication and your body taking a darned break!
I am SO with you on the skin. When I can afford it my neck is the first thing I'm getting done. Yikes!!
I've never obsessed over my looks or thought i was vain but the skin is creeping me out too.
hang in there and come back when you can!
hugs, judi
Pam: Hugs to you.
I went this weekend and got some support garments. I am a little larger yet than most of you, and I feel, my clothes size is not shrinking because of my large belly panel and hanging thighs. I got them at lane bryant, and I am surprised on how comfortable it is. It must work, because my pants don't want to stay up today. 
You's may want to increase your water. I went from 64 oz up to 96-128 oz and I lost 5 pounds the first week.
I am glad to hear from everyone.
