Hi all, I had my surgery on 7/03/07. I was pretty active on these boards last summer, but since the school year started (I teach high school), I went MIA. I'm trying to get back on here and refocus on ME again! Consult: 283.5 Day of Surgery: 267 Today: 197 Total Loss: 86.5 Since Surgery: 70 Since last week: 3.5 I had a REALLY good week last week (3.5 lbs) AND hit Onederland -- WOO HOO!! I also wore a dress again for the 1st time in years. I hope everyone has a great week. My goals for this week:1. Get my butt to the gym Mon, Wed, Fri, Sat, and Sun, and 2. Get to my local support group meeting tomorrow night. Here's to a great week!!!

Hi Jean, Don't feel too bad everyone has a set back. I realized that I will never fill up on cookies or chips. If I go to a party I can snack and snack. I'll try and stop and have a good protein meal. I get full and my blood sugars even out. Best of luck. Heidi

Hi, Dawn! Just checked out your pics on your profile! You are doing so GREAT!!! I just can's wait to be where you are!!! Hey, how about some more info on your journey, posted here or on your profile! And, thanks for the support! Jean

Heidi! Yeah, my daughter gave me a bunch of size 16 jeans and they are getting really loose! What an AWFUL problem to have! LOL! I wonder what size the "regular" clothing stores go up to...? I haven't shopped anywhere but plus size stores for so long, I couldn't tell ya! Thanks for the support! Jean

Thanks, Suzie! You are such a sweet heart! Happy to see you are loosing again...big time! Take care, Jean
