Feeling Bad and Good

I'm so glad for you guys . Am eight months out and I have lost only 69 lbs.I'm still 45 from goal.Dress size is great I have gone from a size 24 to a 12.I guess I have to look at things better since 12/01/03 I have had to have a scope done on my right knee and it has cut out my walking for a while, I was thinking I would be back in swing soon but I'm waiting now to have hernia surgery (08/20/04) not on one but two, leave it to me to go over. I should not be so hard on me I'm not having to deal with hanging skin and everyone is telling me how nice I look I saw an old friend and she didn't know who I was, I guess I just wanted to cry a little, forgive me . Love and God bless to all .

Hi La Vada! You look beautiful! I too started out at a 22/24, and I am just now getting out of some of my 12's and into 10's, with a weigt loss of 101 lbs. Maybe you are building more muscle mass then some of us others? Muscle does weight more then fat. But regardless of the weight loss, which is still great, theres alot more to be said in the dress sizes you have dropped. I think your doing great. Keep it up girl!!

Size 12. Wow. I'd love to be that. I'm down 104 and still a 16. You must look fantastic. You have a stunning face. Sorry to hear of your surgeries. It's nasty when we get restricted on our activities. Hope all goes well and you're back on your feet fast and healthy. Nona

Your are doing great.....by your numbers, you started out as a light weight, which lose slower! You are about as close to goal as I am....right on track!!! It goes slower the closer to goal you become!! Good luck with the upoming surgery and I hope you can get to walking soon!!! Keep up the good work! Jesi

Congrats on your loss! Your doing great! I have a question...How do you know if you have a hernia? what does it feel like? I think I may be developing one. I feel a lump next to one of my scars and was wondering if that is what it is. Peace, Di~
