Cindy, Thanks for posting this even though you couldn't find the roll call post. All of the roll call posts and other posts for the challenge group will be on the main board and will have July 4th Mini-Challenge in the subject line! Hugs, Lea

Thanks for all of this good info. I've been thinking about this too, and it's good to hear that I need to be patient and do this right. Sherry

Julie, try taking things one step at a time. Do you exercise??? If not, I highly (highly!) recommend that you begin b/c that has made all the difference for me. Focus on your weight loss and try not to get ahead of yourself about the plastic surgery. Be proud of your accomplishments, b/c you have lost a lot of weight!!! Focus on your achievements rather than what you still want to change. This is a process, and you are doing great! Annette

Yeah, I'm kind of in the same boat! I'm down about 70 pounds, and this past month I've been fluctuating back and forth a pound or two; depending on how well I stick to the program. I could have gotten another fill, but I've decided to try a few other things first, for the next few months. First of all, I'm starting to show some flabby skin so I'm going to start a weight training program. I also want to work on my own perception of the weight loss. I'm finally going to get a full- length mirror. I'm realizing that it takes me longer to see the actual weight loss than it does those around me. Anyway, will begin right after my blood test to make sure all my supplements are in line. Pam

I think I'll join too! Let me think. I'm at 179 and I think I'm going to plateau for a bit. It's my own fault (those darn carbs) I have a plan this week to get back on track so hopefully my plateau won't be for too long! I think by July 4th I would like to be at 160. I know I'm going to have to work hard BUT my surgeon wants me to be at 130 by my anniversary. I'm not sure if I'll make that, lol.
