What's Going on

Hey there all my August buddies, Just wanted to say hello and to update my buddies on my progress. I had surgery August 30th 2004 at that time I weighed 226 and wore size 18/20 (highest weight 229) height 5'2". I currently weigh 128 wearing size 2 in clothes and 7 1/2 in shoes. My ring size was 8 it's now a 6 (getting engaged on May 14th confirmed this). I've been approved for a Tummy Tuck with Hernia repair and I'll have this surgery on the 20th of July. I'm also getting breast implants and would have this surgery on September 7th of this year. My favorite past-time was shopping now I simply can't get enough of it!!!! I'm grateful eternally to Dr. Macura and Lazzaro. I'm grateful and thankful that I have a forum that allows me to read posts that are helpful, funny and most of all supportive. I have the pleasure of reading and experiencig weight loss from your perspective and for this I'm eternally grateful. So while I haven't posted in a very long time it doesn't mean that I'm not reading and visiting the board (I come at least five times a day) I'm addicted. I hope that everyone has continued success and take care of yourself and each other. Have a healthy and safe July 4th. Peace and blessings Marcy

Hey Sunny, Girl you look WONDERFUL!!!! I was looking at before and after pictures you look amazing!!!!! I sent pictures to the board and they haven't posted as yet. However, that has since given me the incentive to just do it myself. It's definitely funny how we are the same height a pound different and in different sizes. I finally realized that I had to give up the fours when they were constantly turning. I'm so looking forward to the tuck. Most or actually all of my fat was in my abdomen. I've lost most of it and if not for the hernia would have had to live with the tummy until I saved the money. It's just annonying. However, not noticeable. Thanks for your well wishes and looking forward to sharing pictures post tummy tuck. Marcy

Congrats on making your goal, Marcy! And on your engagement!!!!! And on your upcoming plastic surgery!!!!!!! Good luck and keep us posted. ---- Leslie -111

Hi Leslie, Congratulations on your 111 weight loss. Thanks for your acknowledgement on my three great things. I thought I hit goal a couple of sizes back. When I started my journey my goal was to wear a size ten. Well, that lasted for exactly one month. Then came 8,6,4 and finally 2 but I'm still losing. Can't wait for my next big goal (getting this tummy tucked) I'll definitely post New and Improved pictures after. Again thanks for your well wishes. Peace and blessings. Marcu

Wow, what an awesome year this has been for you! Keep up the good work, you're dping so great!!! And a size 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm soooooooooooo jealous!!!! After the tummy tuck you'll have to move into kid's sizes! :0) Lots of love, Dawn

Hi Dawn, You are too funny!!!! Let's hope that I don't have to move into kids. Thanks for your well wishes!!! Like you I can't wait to have this tummy tucked. Once that is done I'm posting pictures. Stay tuned. Hope you have a wonderful weekend. Peace and blessings. Marcy
