Hi Tanya, I did the exact same thing! Except my 'golden globes' were always small, even weighing in at 344 pounds I was a B cup. But now I'll ONLY wear their undies, nighties, lingerie, everything. In fact, I'm so addicted my new card is maxed! Not sure if thats a good or bad thing... Shop on! -Deb

Hi all, I posted on the roll call that I had been feeling like dog poopie and I went to my PCP on Tuesday and they are running some blood work. I should get the result back by the end of the week. I take all of my vitamins religiously so I should not be deficient but I tend to run low on iron even with taking double dose of the supplemants. I also talked to them about the strange feeling I was getting in my chest and head every few minutes and apparently it was panic attacks! Low and behold I did not need this too. It is from going off my Paxil that they have been doing for the past three weeks and should be short term but none the less a little disconcerting! I got yet another perscription and took one pill and felt worlds better in just a few hours. I have not had that feeling agian since yesterday. All of this is making me rethink the switch from Paxil to Welbutron. I was not aware of the process to go off of this type of medication and am not too pleased that I have had to go thru all of this. Funny that the doctors do not tell you when they write you the perscription that you will go thru hell getting off of the medication. Sorry long winded again. I will update everyone when I get the test results back. Thanks for all of the concern everyone. Tanya

Hi Tanya, This is my first month of maintenance now, I'm still holding on to that 102 lb lost (surgery was Oct 16, 03) I'm at 122 + or - a pound. I have increased my exercise and my fat % has gone down considerably though the weight is the same, I also have introduced a few more "carbs" in my diet, so I guess it is working. Stabilizing is new for me , I know how to go up and how to go down, so I'll keep you all informed on my "adventure" on our monthly roll call, since soon most of you will have to deal with the "maintenance" issue. Congratulation everyone. Lucie

Hello All! I too have had a big slow down in weight loss. But I think I am sabatoging this on purpose. I have always dealt with increased attention from men with food, I hide, etc. I know I do it, I don't know why. Anyway, I have received many compliments from people at work (some of them men) and started having dreams about stopping/slowing my weight loss. While I know I am going to lose an additional 30 lbs, It is nice to know I can slow the train down if I want to. I am now down 106- from my all time high of 300 and in a comfortable 14 or medium. I still swear things are mismarked when I pull those sizes off and the rack and they fit! It is unreal! I feel fantastic and swim every day. I am working on adding more weight bearing exercises to my regime now, to increase muscle tone and build alittle back. I catch myself double checking the mirror when I walk by, I still don't know who that woman is. Thanks for all the updates and info. I love this site and all the women in on it. I have never met most of you, but feel we have shared a momentous journey together regardless. LeeAnn 300/194/160

Well Hello everyone I look forward to this post every month I am down 106.5 lbs the best part was trying on capris in the same section as my two teenage daughters and over hearing the oldest tell her friend that her Mom only wears one size bigger than her now. Going on vacation next week to visit the inlaws they haven't seen me in three years so it should be fun the biggest thing is that I really want to get out there and shop but I am having Tummy Tuck in October (happy rebirthday to me) so I am waiting. Tanya, Have you been taking your b-12 ?? I had a real lack of energy and since I get the shots now I am much better. KAthy
