Hey Ya'll...

Hey everyone.. Sorry it's been so long since I've posted but things around here have been so hectic.. I have to schedule time just to sleep.. *L*.. Who would guess ya'd have so much energy after surgery... I am very happy and proud to say I have lost a total of 70 pounds in 4 months.. I'm almost under 300 pounds.. My clothes are much and I mean much smaller.. Just the other day I put on my brother's senior sweatshirt which is a size 1X.. Yup, that's what I said a 1X... Before surgery I was in a 4X.. I've started swim classes 3 times a week.. They are wonderful.. And I went from a size 32 swimsuit to a size 26 which is now getting to big.. I go to the fitness center 4 times a week.. If I don't go I feel icky.. *L*.. Now how is that for funny.. Well, enough of me running my mouth just wanted to update everyone on how I was doing.. Everyone is doing so great.. Keep up the great job everyone.. -Shannon 9/20/04 -70 pounds

You are doing just fantastic! Isn't it great when your clothes start getting big like that. I started much bigger then you but I can see a difference in my clothes as well. I was a 5-6x and now am 3x which means I can buy clothes at walmart for once! I don't do much excersising but I do put on my rock and roll cd's and Congrats on your weight loss! Doreen

It sounds like your doing wonderful. It is a great thing when your able to put on another person's shirt etc and it is smaller and it fit's. Congrat's on going to swim classes. I give you applause because even though my gym has a pool I am still to selfconscience to go in. Sound's like your going to need to go shopping again. I love when clothes get to big. I've never had that problem before. LOL Keep up the great work and thanks for updating... Shannon 09/03/04 -134 363-229-170

Hi Shannon!!! You're doing wonderfully!!!! I look in the mirror and really don't see much of a difference... but my pants are falling off, and I actually fit into a pair of 2x over the weekend!!! So, I KNOW there is a difference. I'm still working on getting more exercise, and breaking these darn 3 week stalls I have EVERY month!!!! URGH!!!
