Checking In

This last Saturday was our group's 3rd Annual Extravaganza that I was part of decorating committee. It turned out beautiful. I was in the fashion show wearing clothes from Corral West, a store I've loved the clothing in forever, but could never get into. Jacket: $350; Shirt: $55; Belt: $140; Jeans: $40 - Wearing size 11/12, low-rise, slim-cut jeans on stage and feeling great about it - PRICELESS. The doctors were there and they noted that though we were thanking them, they thanked us for trusting them to do a life-threatening surgery. What I don't think they understand, is that the thanks we give them stems from the fact that they were willing to give back the hope we'd lost in all our failed attempts to conquer our weight issues. At 5 1/2 months out I'm 100% PLEASED and GLAD I chose to have it. I've lost almost 100 lbs, over 65", 6 sizes, and my hypertension pills. On another positive note, after weighing 162 for almost 3 weeks, I finally broke the 160 mark and have now lost 99 lbs! Next week, the C-Note!!! Hope everyone is doing great! Dawn

Dawn, Sounds like you had a wonderful time. How exciting for you. Did you get to keep the beautiful clothes? You've done great with your weight loss. You'll be a part of the century club before you know it. Keep it up girl Tammy 291/284/213/145

Hi Dawn! You're doing super! I'm so envious! Connie

AWESOME ! You hit the nail on the head with that post! I wish I had just reached 162 but I will , later on this year. I am 5 mos out and -76lbs and feel great and notice my butt is shrinking! Congratulations on a job well done and keep looking so great Donna
