8 months ago today...

I was in surgery! Now I have lost an amazing 96lbs! And when I average it out... thats 12lbs a month! Whoo hoo! Makes me feel a little better since I have only lost 1 lb in 21 days. Still makes me a little mad! I am wearing a size 12 jeans comfortably and size med-large tops. My boobs are the reason for the larges! I feel awesome! I am getting in shape from walking 3 miles a day, most days anyway. I never would have dreamed that I could do that 8 months ago! I could barely walk a block without hurting. I have 4 lbs to get into the Century Club. It has been eluding me for 21 days! I gotta run for now but just wanted to share my news! Love you guys! Lori 281/185/140ish

LORI!!! WAY 2 GO!!!! We are both hunting for the space on our profiles for that Centutury Card..LOL! 3 miles a day? Im glad I can do like 2.5 when I hit the gym 3days..good for you! Consistency breeds positive results! AND nicer looking legs! Keep up the great work and hang it there..the card is in the mail! Hugs, Donna

Thanks Donna! And you are right about the nicer looking legs! My calves and thigh muscles are getting nice and toned! Too bad my inner thighs looks so bad! YUCKO! That card will look SOOO GOOD on my profile! I just sent in a new message board pic.... I hope it doesn't take forever to get changed! Lori

Isn't it something, Lori? I thank God for WLS. I say DITTO to almost all of your remarks. Up to three miles? That is fantastic!! LOL, Sherry 276/188/130-140

Yes Sherry, thank GOD for WLS! Lori

Hi Kemalani....Say I will be having my surgery either the last week in May or the 1st week in June. I am soooo excited. Would it be too much to ask, if I might have a copy of all of them.. I am so interested in getting as much help as possible for that first month +/- post op eating. Thank you so much. Terri Caldwell [email protected]

Lori My Wonderful Friend..... Happy 8 month surgiversary to you!!!!!!!! It's just amazing how much our bodies have changed in 8 short months. Wow size 12 jeans.... How great is that?????? Hang in there with the weight loss this month, your body is trying to catch up from your big loss last month. 185 is AWESOME............ It always seems like it takes us forever to get past those milestones (under 200...century club etc etc) cause we want them sooooo bad.... You're doing great. I love all you gals....you keep me going... Have a great day Tammy 291/284/193.5/145

Thanks Sweetie! love ya! yeah I can't believe that I fit in the 12's, especially when doing laundry and see that they aren't that much bigger than my daughter's jeans! And yes, 185 is way cool! I haven't been this small in 14 years. I was 186 way back when my daughter was 1. She is now 15 1/2. And by her 16th bday, I am hoping to be at goal. That gives me 5 months to reach it. I am confident I will! I guess I just need to stop watching the pot, so to speak, when it comes to worrying about making the Century Club and just be happy that I have made it this far. Thanks for everything!!! Lori 281/185/140ish

Michelle-- It takes 6-8 weeks to receive your first issue but you can contact Annie at [email protected] and ask her if you could start with this issue. Ronda

Congradulations my surgery twin! You are doing great. Wish I had the push to walk daily, though I do keep perservering with it! Keep up the good work. Who would have thought 8 months ago that we would be where we are today! Eileen 337/237/160ish?
