Topic: RE: Competition
I agree.....I am at 193 and I am not in a size 12 yet! I am in a 16 and probably could wear some 14s depending on how they are made. You have come a long way and you cannot compare yourself to anyone else! This is your dream and you shouldn't look at anyone else to compare b/c this should be all about you! Your doing GREAT so keep up the good work!

I survived a 3-day cruise! I let myself try everything I wanted to except for desserts. I ended up exactly the same weight to the ounce after the cruise!

I had a double shot of Jagermeister 2 months out of surgery. I sipped it slowly over about an hour's time and felt nothing other than the warm sensation as it burned my insides. Wasn't even buzzed and it got warm and nasty..so that satisfied my curiosity!

Topic: RE: What is Santa gonna bring you?
Santa is sending me on a cruise for Christmas...actually that was my gift from Santa last year. (Yes, yes..I know I *just* did one over Thanksgiving..but my mother HAD to get one more cruise in before Christmas so she could be Platinum!)
I'm pretty sure I'm getting a Zune since my mp3 player is from the stone age and is the size of a cassette player. I've hinted for a new cell phone and a waterproof digital camera..so we shall see if he can find me out on the open ocean!

Topic: RE: 4 months out (w/pic)
Brandi,
You are look'n good girl! I see why you want that tall, bald, mute man under your Christmas tree.
You are very brave to post your picture in your undies, but if I looked like you I wouldn't have any problem with it either. You look great. You look like you weigh a lot less than 219 lbs.
It's just that coming from where we've been, did you ever expect to even be in a position to flaunt it? Now everything is possible, isn't it. This surgery is remarkable.

I wasn't trying to sound harsh or critize. I just want to know why she isn't exercising. Exercise is key role in our weight loss journey. Even if it is walking, sitting from a chair doing exercise. I use to be a slacker too. I start exercising before my surgery on recumbent bike and now I have step up my exercise too. some days I just get in the recumbent bike and walking and other days I can easily get in 2 hours of mix of things. I want to encourage anyone to start some type of exercise no matter how small it is and each week try to increase it. I am here support you and help motivate to exercise as well. I know how hard it is to motivate I have issues with that yet but I will try my best to work out daily. At least 6 days out of 7. If I get in 7 that is awesome. Once it becomes routine than it becomes a part of our daily lives. Just like learning to eat again with a smaller pouch. So take one step at a time! Good luck!
