I am officially pre-op...

Oh my gash! I sooooooooooooooooooooooooo cannot beleive this but I am pre op now! Susan, Marie and my sister who also works at Baptist called me with the good news. My date is July 24th. I am in total shock!!!!!!!! To say I am excited is an understatement!! I cannot wait to be a loser!! Dr. Fernandez, here I come! WHOOPEE!!!!! Weslyn

OOps that date is July 27th!! Not the 24th!! I cannot type!

I didn't meet my goal, but that's ok. I'll hope and try to make it next month! I did begin walking again this past month, which makes me feel better and look better no matter what the scale says. I've been fighting depression over my lack of weight loss this past month or so, I keep trying to tell myself I'm not done losing yet. Carbs are my downfall, without a doubt. So, when are we setting our next goals Donna? I'm ready to try again!! Connie 269/176/163 surgeon's goal

Hi Donna, Well, I have enjoyed getting into this goal thing this past month with everyone. I always set a monthly goal for myself and most times I am about a pound to a pound and half away on the day it is over. This is no exception for me this time. My goal was 205 and I am at 207.5 as of today by my scale. On Sat., at my mom's (she has a slide scale) I weighed 204, so by hers I surpassed my goal, but I go by my scale so I have 2 more pounds to goal for this 5 weeks. I too have had a slow month and thought I would make a realistic goal for this month, wow! I was sure I would hit it. Oh well! Like you said, it is great to look at all the goals for the month and see what is in my heart. I too am wearing a very sexy outfit to work today. It is an Xlrg lacey shirt that fits me beautifully. This was my Easter outfit and I love it. Bought it at Target with a Christmas gift card from my brother-in-law (well, he is really my ex-bro-in-law). I have increased my excerising so that is a big plus of accomplishment for me this month. I also finished my crochet project, drank more water this month and got some control of over emotional eating. I'm ready to set some new goals and can't wait to get started again for May! This was a great idea, Donna. Thanks for heading it up! Lori 293/207.5/135/130

Hiya Donna!! I met my goal early on in the month, well the weight one anyway. I was down to 185, 1 lb below my April goal of 186, for a couple weeks. Now I keep losing and gaining the same 2-3 lbs. So I am 188 today. Tomorrow I will probably be 185 again! I did meet my exercise goal for 4 days last week, walking 3 miles. I haven't done any walking this week because something keeps coming up. I will get some walking today in downtown Seattle. But not 3 miles... maybe 1 mile. I am sure I will burn LOTS of calories in traffic though. Seattle is famous for it's bumper to bumper interstate traffic. I will hit rush hour on my way home! LOVELY! I am SO excited! NOT!! I get so worked up when driving in it. I don't know how those people do it day in and day out... I would shoot someone! Just kidding... But seriously!! Thanks for posting this Donna. You rock and roll baby!!! When are you gonna get that new pic up??? You are HOT HOT HOT!!! Lori 281/188/140ish

That's wonderful, stay excited. Good luck

From one Herman to another -THANK YOU!

I remember getting my surgical date--WHAT A FEELING!!! You will love it on the losong side.

You look so great! I have really enjoyed keeping up with your progress! I hope I can be as successful as you!

Hi B, 1. Is anybody still losing??? A pound about every 3rd week now, not huge #'s, but I am at goal, so maintaining now is a good thing. N 2. Does your life feel very busy??? OMG I am on the go all the time.. all the time, I was always a busy person, but now I'm more so, love it! 3. Are you more assertive??? oh yep - details not need to be told here 4. Do you have new goals?? yes - I'd like new boobs 5. What comlications have you had?? just bathroom issues since I healed from surgery, other than that it's been all good!
