Lori, Awsome job Keep up the fantastic job. I'm right behind you at 62 but I'm stuck. Hopefully, I'll see you at 65 soon. Take care! Deb

Sometimes it seems like this is taking forever but then if I start thinking about when was the last time I lost 65 pounds in 22 weeks it's all ok again, lol. For sizes I am wearing a large top (big chest and I hate anything tight) and size 12 pants. I remember thinking if I could just get to a size 14 I will never complain again. Funny how we change that tune once we get there and past, lol. It's all good right?? Hope all is well with all my November surgery sisters and brothers. Lori 231/166/130

Hi WLS family! Just wanted to share my experiences this weekend. Well for the last 1 1/2 years I have NOT cut my hair.. due to that was the last thing on my mind (dealing with 'making myself pretty'). It was pretty long and when I told my trainer that I was going to cut it off once it started falling out, she said "Oh are you going to give it to locks of love?" I didn't even thing about that as I never thought my hair was that long (needs to be a donation of 10 inches or longer).. well it was and it is now chopped off to a length of just below my ear! So I will be sending in my hair What's also nice is that it doesn't seem like I am losing as much hair as pre-hair-cut and I look about 5-10 years younger! Wow! Second highlight is that I went shopping for clothes as my pants are falling off. It was extremely weird walking into the 'petite' section or the 'junior' section. It was very hard for me to give up Lane Bryant! The clothes, pants in particular, are so narrow through the hips and thighs-- I guess that's where I'm carrying the most of my weight. I felt so bad for the employees of where I shopped since I was bringing in multiple sizes of garments since I had not a clue as to my size. I also had to get something to lift the ladies, if you get my saying. It was so sad to see that I had a lot of loose skin there and I have no clue how to work that area. So I felt confident with my hair cut but I had a big learning experience with buying new clothes. Thanks for letting me share and if you have any 'lady' suggestions or places that sell pants for short people- with roomier hips and thighs and where pants actually sit on your waist, not your hips- let me know!

I'm happy for you that the scale started to move again - keep your fingers crossed for me - I'm stuck! Kids are just great aren't they?!!?
