Thank you Susan. I know you are having a difficult time too. Hopefully everthing will start looking better for both of us. How are you doing with the move? You look great in all your pictures. Melissa

Hi Angy, I lost one pound in May and one pound in June. I didn't lose any weight in July. I am working real hard to get the scale to move. I've lost 209 pounds but I'm still overweight. Don't get me wrong I am very happy with my weight loss. I do see a smaller me in the mirror. It's when I'm in the tub naked is when I feel fat. Thanks for posting. Take care.

Hi everyone. Just wanted to see how everyone has been doing. If you have plateaued or still losing. I was wondering if anyone still looks in the mirror and sees the old you, even though you know you don't look like that still? What a mind game I am dealing with. Anyone else having issues??????????? Help

I am trully very sorry to hear about your situation. It is a hard place to be. I too have not been where I want to as far as the weight goes. But hey I am a whole lot healthier because of the 120 that I did lose! I gained 10 and lost 10 then gained 10 and now I am trying to loose it again! Not an easy feat! I have a good friend whose husband woke up this past winter and told her he doesn't love her anymore. She had a very hard time for a awhile and tried very hard to stay at the house and live wth him still. It was very tough on her and it only brought her down more and more every day. By this summer she finally found a place to live with her 2 kids. She is working full time to pay for it now. But the most important part is this: SHE IS SO MUCH HAPPPIER NOW! Sometimes you need to really stop focusing on what can be and focus on what YOU can be. That is her motto. She lost weight from the stress and is determined to keep it off. SHe redid her hair and is going to a tanning salon. She feels great about herself now and spends everyday reminding herself that she looks good! She is dating again. Her ex-husband is a loner trying to do something with his life. She is now doing far better than anyone expected and HE is extremely jealous. Sorry I can't speak form my personal experience but I wanted to share her story with you. Hope it helps. Your Sister in WLS Chandi 305/290/?
