Hello Alice!!
You sound like you are doing really well! I've hit a bit of a plateau but this morning I lost a few!! I am 5'5 and 175lbs in a size 12!! I still want to lose 35 more lbs!! I sure hope it happens.....slowly but surely!! Do you enjoy being an agent?? I am home with kids right now but may start to sell when my youngest goes to pre-school! I use to be a Bank Branch Manager and know for sure that I don't want to go back to Banking...not while raising a family! I hope you are doing well professionally the market is booming here in CA!!
Take Care,
Summer

Hi Summer! I'm an agent in the Southlake (DFW) area of Texas. My MCE isn't due until next February. You look wonderful! I have about 30 more pounds to go but if I stopped here I'd feel great too. I'm in a 16 but I'm 5'9" so it doesn't show as much. Anyway just wanted to say hi. xoxo Alice

Topic: RE: EMOTIONAL SHOPPING TRIP
Well I went shopping again today!!! I found some bargains. I went to Dillards in Willow Bend!!! Found some darling things (size 16) so I got 4 pants and 4 shirts. I'm set for a while. Had my dh with me and he was a big help in keeping me going. I tried some 14's but they were too tight. I got each item for about $22 and they are nice. I have to be flexible and look nice in my business. So I didn't want to spend a bunch of money (like I have it). But I could only wear those jeans so many places. I hope everyone has a great weekend!!!

I was washing my hands at work the other day and saw the light reflecting off my scalp all the way to the middle of the top of my head. LOL. I have lost 92 pounds since 11-8. Still got a long way to go and it is slower now. Congratulations on your loss.

Topic: 5 MONTHS TODAY
Start---------- 305.5
Surgery day----281.5
Current weight--194
----------------------
Total Loss 111.5lbs
Hello all today is my 5 month anniversary of WLS. I am doing well, other that being still tired, and having no hair lol. It has gotten really bad, and I sure hope it gets better soon. My hair is only about 3/4 of an inch thick when I draw it up into a ponytail. I fluff it to make it look thicker, but the loss is signifigant. It began gradually, but then picked up speed at an alarming rate, I just keep saying it will come back. Anyhow I am down to 194 and am happy about that. I went today and bought a size 14 dress that fit perfectly. In levi's brand jeans I wear a reg. 16, so I am happy. Well thats all for now, nothing exciting going on here, but wanted to update, would love to hear about how everyone else is doing.
Take care

Topic: Hangin in there
Hi Everyone! I had surgery on a1/27/05. My scale says I have lost 62lbs
so far. Need to go shopping for smaller sizes but trying to hold off due to
more weight loss, even thought I am anxious. Finding it very hard to get a big variety of foods in, getting full before I can. Try to get different things in on different days, but seems like I mighrate back to the same old foods. Fluids are a constant struggle. I just don't want it. Does anybody have any ideas for protein supplements ( recipes) they get sor boring. I am seeing results, and that keeps me going, but it is hard.
