Q of the Day.....it'll be fun!!!!

We are all aproaching or one year.....PLEASE share with us what you are going to be doing? Are you going to be celebrating, buying yourself something nice, calling the plastic surgeon, what????? Also are ya'll happy thus far, how much more if any do you want to lose? We should all be VERY proud of ourselves......now lets all show it!!!!! Take Care and we all get big jesi For me.....I am not sure yet, I would like to buy myself something nice, maybe an eliptical! I WILL be calling the plastic surgeon but not for maybe 8 months or so, I want to be completely done losing first! I started last Dec 8th at 293......in like 8 months I was at my surgeons goal of 182.......I am currently at 163 for a 130lb loss and working towards my own goal of 140.....we will see

I never thought I would be saying this....but I am trying to gain weight. I am very happy with the outcome and the weight loss...but I am having to eat everything in sight. I got in "party mode" for a couple of months and forgot what I was trying to accompli**** had been so long since I was able to party and just hang out and actually have people talk to me that I got caught up in it. But....I am back on track and trying to mend the bad choices. I wasn't used to men looking at me "in that way". It's great...but put in perspective, now. I went out and bought me a Toyota MR2 Spyder....I love it. I have been traveling (Alaska, Chicago, South Lake Tahoe and many places here in Texas) and Indiana next month. Yes, I work....and people do treat me differently. My boss has been wonderful, although worried about my recent weight loss. The girls in the office are "different" if you will. I'm not the chubby, fattest girl, in the office now....and somehow, I feel that they don't like it. But ya know what, who cares. I am healthy, having fun (for the first time in years) and loving life. And yes, I love the outcome....just need to gain about 5 pounds and I will be total. Rock on....I will have my 25th birthday for the second time, next year (that's right....I'll be 50) and lovin' life.

Hi Jesi, My anniversary will be on the fifth. Something special. No, because I've got so much going on the next two weeks. I'm having a biopsy on the 9th, we have our annual office party that my boss has 'requested' that I attend this year. I don't usually go, but have to this year. I have a cyst on my ear to be removed on the 10th, so I will wait until the new year to think of something to do. Plastics aren't an option for me. My insurance says I don't need them, as I don't meet any of the criteria needed to have them pay for it, and I can't afford it on my own. I have plenty of gym equipment, treadmill, weights, a Gazelle and videos, so I won't go that route. Maybe I can talk the DH into some nice jewelry? Yeah, a diamond ring. Sounds good to me. Nona

My one year anniversary isn't until the 18th, but I already know what I'll be doing. I have two Christmas parties to go to that day. During the afternoon it'll be the barn party (in the tack room, but the horses get treats, too.) Most of the people at that party see each other almost every day, but it's a nice time for the whole family. That evening my husband's boss is having a party which requires dressing up and everything. What a shame, I'll have to go buy something new. And sexy. I know there will be people at that party who haven't seen me in 130 pounds or so. I just love surprising people with the "new" me. Sure was nice of everyone to decide to make my anniversary such a party day! Big back at ya! Deb

I will be in Vegas baby, we are going for our anniversary without the kids leaving all 5 of them with my poor, single 22 year old brother! It just so happens that my 1 year is 2 days after and we will still be there and I plan on living it up. I am buying a sexy new outfit and some new nightie for the trip too, after 129 pounds I feel I deserve it. I still have 6 pounds to go but if I cant get them off I am still happy to have gooten wjere I am. Plastics are in my future some day but it's all a matter of finances as the insurance company says yeah right! Oh well maybe after saving a few years worth of tax returns? I am actually sending payments to my surgeon building up a credit towards it since I just cant save otherwise, I am addicted to shopping for the kids clothes on EBAY. Kelly

My one year anniversary is 12/15 and I'm not sure what I will be doing to celebrate. I know I have a Chemistry final on 12/15 but believe me, that's not a celebration! 12/16 I have a routine appointment with the surgeon. I bought a new black dress to wear to a Christmas Party -- size 0. I need to gain some weight, too. The small sizes are as hard to find as the big sizes once were. I'm not complaining, though. I'm glad I had the surgery. 118 is far better than 226. I don't know about PS. I could use a lower body lift but I hate the thoughts of surgery again, you know. LuvitsunnyV@goal

Went shopping tonight, got myself 2 new slinky nighties and a sexy new black dress size 8 fits great. Cant wait to wear them on my trip, I am excited can you tell?!!! I just love shopping at Ross all that for only $33. Hubby was impressed, he went with since I cant drive myself after last month I had 2 seizures and they wont let me drive now. I hate not driving it's been 5 weeks and it seems like the next 5 months will take forever to get through until I get to drive again. Kelly
