I was worried because I was at a 2 week stall there but finally the scales are moving in my favor! 91 lbs gone as of today and my doctor said throw away the diabetes meds.

I will hit my 3 month mark on Dec 1 and am hoping to hit the 100lb mark on my bday Dec. 11. I am 2 sizes smaller on top and almost the same on the bottom. I still have a long way to go since I was in the 400's when I started and never thought I would see the 300's like I am now. I just thank God every day for my chance at a new life and I pray that all of you will continue to lose weight and be healthy.

WAY TO GO, DOREEN!! That is just fantastic!! I am a "surgery twin" of yours, and had hoped to be down 50 by my three month anniversary... but need to lose 2 more lbs!! Maybe I'll make it! That would be down 20% of my body weight in 3 months...sounds like you are on the same track as that!! Isn't it exciting?? I went to get dressed yesterday for a debutant tea, and literally had nothing to wear!! Had to dash out to the store, and LOVED buying a 16!! I can't remember when I did that!! And last night for the ball, I wore a dress I had worn for my daughter's wedding 11 years ago!! I am not sure who was the proudest: my daughter, my husband, or me! (It was a 14, but I was really sucking in, lol, and only ate about 2 bites of the supper!) Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. Turkey was a bit hard for me to eat..too dry, like chicken.........and I missed the rice and gravy..........but I didn't miss it all that much!! Certainly not in proportion to how excited I was to be smaller!!
