Topic: This is ticking me off! Has anyone else experienced this?
I currently weigh 180 pounds. I remember back when I weighed 180 pounds before I had gained all my weight and I could wear a size 14 comfortably. Now I'm just getting into 16's and they are still pretty tight! I remember this clearly because before when I got to about 195 I had to start buying 16's and it was devastating to me! (I was 14 at the time.) So I'm thinking that this size difference is being caused by the extra skin. I have this flap of skin on my stomach that probably wasn't there when I was 14 and weighed 180. Ugh, it just really sucks.
Also I was on another board and a lady said she weighed 195 and was now into a size 12! Lucky her! I think it's because I'm so short (just under 5'2) that makes it take so long for me to go down sizes.
I don't wanna sound all negative. I love fitting into 16's and a year ago I never thought I would weigh 180 ever again! I'm so happy!! I just wish I could start fitting into all these old jeans I have!

That SUCKS!!!!!
I am so sorry that you are having this problem. Although you are doing better then me in weight loss, I have only lost 70lbs and don't have any complications (I am not complaining just wanted to let you know that you are doing fantastic even with the problem) I think your Surgeon should try to get this fixed for you at no cost. I am sure he can pull some strings if he wants. I will keep you in my prayers and best of luck. Hang in there!

Topic: RE: a "COOL" moment.
Hiya Pamela,
I love these types of moments when after you realize what happened you think to yourself - wow is this really happening to ME?? lol These things just help to keep me motivated! I hope it does the same for you!
God bless you and keep you,

Topic: RE: HOLY COW!!!!!!!!!!!
Hiya Karry,
I calculated it using my old percentage formula from high school - you started at 311 and are now at 191 which is a loss of 110 lbs. Your goal is 167 so that would be a total loss of 144 lbs. The formula I use makes a fraction of 110/144 cross multiplied with n/100 to give the percent. According to that calculation - you have actually lost 76% of what you desire to lose. Either way you are 3/4 of the way done! Congrats and WAY TO GO!
God bless you and keep you!

Congrat's to you Pam!
I know it's gotta feel good, just wish I could buy and wear reg. jeans. 
For now, stretch pants only 
I got the big belly thing (and getting yuckier by the day and CAN NOT wear support undergarments, because it's too much pull on my back) and no hiney, no hips and chicken legs, so if they fit in the waist, Momma looks like she's got a load in her drawers 
... 
Again Congrat's!

Topic: RE: So Sad....
Ok--chin up. My weight loss slowed this past month too, and like you I had uped the exercise. 
Ughh---I felt so depressed, BUT I hung in there and still am. (Thanks to some women in my support group. 
) And--I lost more inches this month than any and went down about 3/4 of a size. When I felt so down, I got a massage, put a temporary tatoo on my left saggy boob 
, and used my spray tanner. Walaa..felt better and hung in there. I am on Wellbutrin also, it is one anti depressant that does not cause weight gain. Also, my hair was doing great until I hit 5 months. Then it started. I know this too shall pass! Hang in there fellow November babe. We are doing great.

73%---started at 305, surgery wt 265, present weight 192..my goal weight 170..hope to go lower. (5'7") I like to set increment goals for me so the picture doesn't seem too big to accomplish at the time. Wearing between size 14-16.
