Ok B, I'll give this a try: 1. What was your total excess weight -Highest 278, now 153, goal - never had one and I am pretty happy where I am, but maybe 8-10 more wouldn't hurt, so lets just say 145 so I'll be considered normal. 2. How many lbs have you lost?? -125lbs (some pre-surgery) 3. What % of your excess weight have you lost??? 94% 4. What new thing have you tried or added to your life that you never dared to before??? I am a clothes ***** always have been, but even though I used to try to dress sexy I don't think I was quite successful. Now I think sometimes I go overboard and dress a little too sexy for the occasion. Being in 6's and 8's has been the most fun I've ever had and finding bargains has been even more fun. I made a deal with myself that through this process I would never pay more than $20 for any piece of clothing and really kept to that this past year. Now that I think I have gotten as small as I should, I purchased my first "expensive" suit. I really needed an appropriate suit for certain business situations and am very happy I still got a great deal on a very good suit. Ok now I have gotten way past the question. By the way it isn't the positions I have found so different, but my stamina for them is great. I used to get leg cramps in the middle of it all and now nothing which is great. 5. How has your life changed since surgery???? I feel much more content in my own skin, even if it is saggy Tee

Just checking in to see how all of you are doing.... It takes 9 months to grow another human being... and I am sure that we are all now giving birth to some new and spectacular lives!!!! How are you doing?? 1. What was your total excess weight (highest weight - ideal weight or goal weight)? 2. How many lbs have you lost?? 3. What % of your excess weight have you lost??? Total lbs lost divided by total excess weight and multiplied by 100. 4. What new thing have you tried or added to your life that you never dared to before??? (can't wait to hear details about some of those positions people : ) 5. How has your life changed since surgery???? 6. What surprises you most about your new life?? Can't wait to see all your responses.... it will take me a while to respond... will be away from the computer and really want to reach a certain goal before I post!!! Lovin you all B

Well, my head has shrunk in circumference, so I would imagine we had some fat on top of our scalp also... my feet have also shrunk a 1/2 size so I would have to deduct from that we we also have fat on our feet... but gosh, TWO WHOLE INCHES? that's alot! Donna

CONGRATULATIONS! Donna 255/165/135

I saw my nutritionist yesterday and by the official scale I'm now down 101 pounds! This Friday (7/29) it will be 1 year since my first consult with the doc. When I think back to how I felt at that time, it just amazes me where I am. Hasn't been easy but it sure has been worth it! diane 307/206/180
