Topic: RE: Just my random thoughts.
Just a quick note on the clothing issue! I Called a local battered womens shelter and met them at a neutral location and gave them all the clothes that no longer fit. I am about to call them to give them some more. These are women who for the most part are plus sized and had to leave where they lived in a very big hurry. They are very grateful for anything especially the nicer clothes that would give them pride and confidence to look for a job and start a new life. If that is not an option donating at your local surgery support group or online here at oh.com Also ebay or craigslist to earn extra money. HTH. Way to go on the hard work!!!!! keep it up

Hi Tami. 71 pounds is fabulous at 3 months (I was exactly the same!) 
That protein intake is incredible too. I feel good when I hit 100g. But do make sure you get that iron checked. I assume that you're taking a daily supplement?
You are clearly a braver woman than I am! I considered doing the elliptical but chickened out and just do plain ole walking each evening. Don't go mad and do yourself a mischief though!
Keep up the great work. It's always good to hear positive things!

Lucky,
I'm right there with ya on the clothes, although I've managed to wear everything at least once before it got too big. I'm starting to send out my clothes to our surgery sisters who are now "slimming down" to my old size. Have you considered doing that yourself?? I know I for one started in a 22/24 blouse and a TIGHT 28 pants. I'm down to a 16/18/XL top and 22/24 pants. Thing is, I keep telling myself NOT to buy clothes except for a few things, and I did get a few hand-me-downs, but it's so much FUN to find clothes that fit, feel and look much better!
Keep up the GREAT work. Your food sounds fine to me; actually, I haven't found much that DOESN'T agree with me, which means I have to be extra careful.
Hugs,
Tammy
