Topic: RE: Are we having an April roll call
I am 5', weigh between 134-137, and seem to have plateau'd at this weight! I work out twice a week and walk two to three times a week. I started out at 250, so I am very happy with my new body! I started out a size 22 and now wear an 8 or 10. I find I can eat alot more now than I could a few months ago.

Hi Carolyn,
I'm 5'10, started out at 350, size 28. I'm now 182 size 12 and very happy 
Size 12 was my goal size and 180 pounds is my weight goal, so very close!
For not eating, I'm personally not in the danger zone of losing too much, but I do not have an appetite most of the time. I usually eat breakfast, something for lunch, but rarely dinner. I try to get something in my stomach around 5pm before headed to the gym, but most times I forget. It's very hard to keep up on when you have no appetite and have broken your food addiction!
I'm hoping to get reconstructive surgery in the next 12 months. Arms/belly/breasts!
Congrats to you and everyone else on your accomplishments!
Amy

Hi Carolyn
Thanks for starting the April Roll Call! I've never felt so healthy, physically and mentally, in my whole life! I'm so happy that this surgery exists and has helped us and so many other people. I've lost 182 lbs., had my tummy tuck, extra skin from my arms removed, and had a hernia repair all in 16 months! I don't have a problem making myself eat. I eat very well, sometimes too well! 
Finally feeling good after the the tummy tuck surgery. That was rough, but worth it! I had 6 pounds of extra skin and fat removed from my belly, and 1 pound each from my arms. Eight pounds gone, just like that!
When I feel like I'm eating too many carbs, I get back on the proteins, right away. I feel better and healthier when I'm eating right. Love you guys, Jane

Topic: RE: Reunion or not . . .
I say go for all the reunions! The nice thing about any of the reunions as we get older is that all the dumb cliques are gone! Most everyone has been puked on, crapped on, and peanut buttered by their kids, and sad to say a large percent have gone thru divorce, bankrupsy, and other various failures in our lives so by the time we get older and all that junk has happened we are all mature humans and nobody really cares about the has beens of school but we are more interested in just reconnecting and making new friends that we were necessarily even associating with in school cuz they weren't in our "group." So I say dump the emotional junk and go have some FUN at ALL future reunions!
Best of Luck! God Bless! Angie (wasn't a member of the "in" crowd but can totally hang with all of them now)

Hi Carolyn!
I was concerned about stopping losing, and seem to have gotten it figured out! I had to add more carby (fruit/crackers/pretzels) snacks twice a day in order to do it, but it worked. I watch my weight daily as it can drop 2 lbs. in a day still. Now I'm being super cautious not to gain!
My highest weight was 313. Today I weigh 144. I keep myself between 140 and 145. I am 5'9". I once was a size 28, and now am a size 4-6! I am very healthy and am not having any problems! Thank God for this tool!

Are we having an April roll call? I don't know if there is a specific person who starts it.
Well hoping not to step on anyone's toe. I am Carolyn. I have lost 172 lbs. I now weigh 115.
I am 5'6". A size 2-4. that down from 273 and size 26.
I am struggling to keep weigh one. I have to eat all the time. I can't believe I HAVE to eat. Make myself eat. Anyone else have this problem? Carolyn
Topic: RE: EXERCISE EQUIPTMENT
haha, we're all different. While the treadmill is okay i REALLY love the elliptical machines. It really tones up my legs and butt giving me a great workout.
I would try one out at a gym or a store somewhere before buying one though. They can be uncomfortable and awkward at first.
Topic: RE: I'm a before and after girl!!!
I was just looking at some months prior to my February 2004 group and ran across your post. You look great! I also read your profile. You are SO FUNNY and such an inspiration. Thank you for sharing!!!

Topic: RE: EXERCISE EQUIPTMENT
I prefer a treadmill, but you'd probably do best with an eliptical. I HATE THOSE!!! Can't stand them, even walking by one in the station I feel the need to RUN far and fast. They just kill me!
