You are looking HOTT!  I love the pose in the after!  Way to freakin go - 100lbs is amazing!

 

That's just awesome!  The lady at the doughnut shop actually stopped serving other people to ask me if I was okay cause she 1. hadn't seen me in a while and 2. noticed my weight loss. (BTW - I was buying a doughnut for my kid).

I was so\rt of happy that she noticed but then started to think - damn - i must have been going to the doughnut shop an awful lot for her to notice that I have been in the for a while.
 

<<<<<<<<<<<-------------------HOT DAMN - YOU LOOK GREAT GENA!  Love your new avie!    I have been in a stall for about 2 months as well.  I firmly believe it's a stall in pounds only cause my clothes are loose everytime I change out of them.  I'm losing inches - so it's not a true stall per se.   I have not gotten discouraged as of yet cause - 1. I feel amazingly healthy. 2. I look better than I have in YEARS.  3. I know for a fact that my RNY is still working and I will get to goal this year.  I have such a positive out look this year.  It's really satisfying actually. 

The goals we set for ourselves are sometimes set without thinking about the process as a whole.  Before I had my surgery I set a goal loss of 45lbs by my 3rd month post op however I only lost 29lbs by that point.  My weight loss has been much slower than most but I reap the rewards of the weight I have lost to date everyday.  Pulled from the book called: "Things Slow Loser's Say" - slow yet paced weight loss is great for one's body... it will give your body a chance to keep up with the weight loss and will aide greatly in the saggy skin debates.   

As you say you've been following the rules for the most part.... I can't see you failing if you truly are following the rules.   Keep up the great work.  80lbs is just AMAZING.  IF you think about it... you lost 80lbs in about 6 months... you mean to tell me by July 2010 you will have lost another 80lbs - I'm sure you'll be very pleased with your 80lbs loss in another 6 months girl.   As hard as it is for me not to judge myself on "that girls" loss - I have learned it does no good to do that to myself. 

You will get there soon.  Be happy.  Be proud.   Get ready for the next 6 months - it will be here sooner than you know it.

Hugs Gena - you really do look fantastic.
