6 month yesterday and a WOW at the same time

Hi and Congrats to all on 6 months. Yesterday was my 6 mo since surgery and I had lost 88 lbs. This morning down another and that is 89 lbs. This morning I lost another pound and started my period. I can't believe that I am 11 lbs away from 100 lb loss. I am 39 lbs to my goal of 135. I posted a few weeks ago that I had a date. Well that too is going really good. So I am very happy and it sure has changed my life for the better. I feel like I can move forward. If it takes longer to lose the weight going forward I will keep working hard. I don't want to go back. I am wearing size Large shirts. and size 8 jeans. I even bought some skorts that look like mini skirts and they are so cute. I feel small. It might help that my new boyfriend is 6'5" tall. So I feel really tiny compared to him. Its all good for me, I hope it is going good for all you wonderful surgery friends.

Hi Diana! WOW! That is fantastic! Size 8?? Whoo hoo! I know what you mean about feeling small. It is such a wonderful feeling to feel smaller than my husband for once. Some days I feel petite even though I am far from it! It's weird, can't explain it. I guess I just feel so good about how I look now. You are doing so well. Keep it up! Lori 281/201/140

Hi all, I guess you would say my anniversary date for this month would be Feb.28 since my surgery date was 08/30/05 and thier isn't but 28 days in this month. My weight loss have been slow so far this year. I have loss only 9 pounds since my last visit to my RNY Doc which was on 01/13/06. I'm happy about losing 75 pounds, but I still wear plus size clothes. I wear a 16w and jeans and a XL in shirts. I still have alot of my clothes from my previous surgery VBG that I would love to wear again. When I had the VBG done back in Jan.1995 I loss 121 pounds and went from a size 24/26 to a 14/16. My weight back than started at 285 and I drop down to 164, but I regain about 8 pounds and stayed there for 5 years until I got pregnant. I hope I lose as much weight as I did back then. I would love to be in a size 12. I think a 10 would be to small for me. I'm not gonna lie but I hate to exercise. Don't get me wrong I exercise some times but I hate to do it . Being a single mom to a 4 year old little boy and working 10 hours a day 5 days a week and 6 hours on saturday don't leave much time and energy for exercising. I hope by the end of the next 6 months I will have loss another 75 pounds / wishful thinking. I would like to say CONGRATS to all of the August 2005 peers and keep up the good work. Big Big Big Hugs!!! to all of you! Carolyn (Jc C.) 284/209/ 150 to 160-ish.
