Oh honey, I could have written this! *YES* I look WAY heavier naked. Eek! To the point where I still feel fat. People tell me I'm skinny and I scoff at them. It seriously messes with my head! I really feel for ya. I didn't know that others felt that way, too. You are just so sexy; it's hard to imagine you not liking how you look. Whew, it felt good to get that off my chest! Love ya sweets! Lisa

GREAT topic idea Peter! To answer the weigh-in: Highest weight - 360 Surgery weight - 345 Today's weight - 173 Total lost - 187 (Still in awe of that one!) Goal weight - 160 (but I bet I could get to 150...) As for what I could do this summer that I couldn't do last, hmm. I'll have to think about that one for a bit. We haven't done any big things this year. With DH in school still, it just hasn't been all that feasible. We did do part of our back yard this summer & put up a bigger pool. But we would have done that anyway. OH, I KNOW! On our anniversary in April, DH & I went to the coast (Oregon coast is so very beautiful...) and I went hopping around on the rocks. It was so cool! I haven't been able to do that in YEARS. My center of balance was always so off from my huge gut. I jumped around and felt so comfortable doing it. What a great feeling! And I agree with Skinny Inside; BATHING SUITS! I have a swimsuit now and I don't remember the last time I had one of those. It's been years & years. Again, what a great idea! Hugs all! Lisa - Who thinks of you July babies every day even if I can't post much.

mandie- First of all it is good to hear from you. We missed you. Secondly, I am so sorry your frustrated. If you are doing everything right and the weight is not coming off, it could be a revision is needed, or the Cushings thing might be the cause. Regardless, please keep posting. We love you and miss your smiling face. Hang in there sweetie! Andrea

I doubt that it's summer heat - maybe summer freeze - I don't think we've had a single day over 80 degrees this summer. We've had what I would call an extended Spring....and the Canadian Geese are already headed South - how sad is that! A few towns close by have actually had snow flurries....we awoke this morning to a balmy 39 degrees. As for my bloodwork, it's fabulous - even high on B-12. It could just be stress - I started in a new position - lots more stress.

Yes and I HATE it! UGH! It fell out stick straight and is coming in all curly!
