Well now, I started in a 26 & 3XL, now....12 & L! I am down 101lbs and am 17lbs from my goal. I must admit I need to buy clothes along with the kids for school. This is sooo much fun! Happy losing, Brooke

Wow, everyone's made FANTASTIC progress. I won't be able to believe it when I'm finally down to anything under a 20... 22 is a little snug on me still but 24 is a little loose... I'm not complaining though because I started around a 34/36. It's funny, 22s (even though some of you started in them...) look teeny to me when I go to try them on and am amazed when they zip up! But I'm sure you all know the feeling

How am I doing? I've been going thru some depression and mood swings for the past month. Started taking Buspar and not sure if it's right for me..I seem to keep getting grouchier and grouchier.. Other than that, I'm right on top of goal and at a standstill with my weight, which is fine..I look great, I think..sometimes I think I still look fat. Makes me a bit sad that my journey is coming to an end as far as the fast ride, anyway. My cycles are getting crazy..I'm going on two weeks late, but last month I had an extra long period of two weeks..so really need to call the gyn for an appt. Prob. an age related thingie..yikes, the dreaded menopause?? I hope so, cause the thought of preg. at my age is ...well..no words could express that fear. What are my goals this week? I'm taking a break. No goals this week..I'm too tired. I'll just keep doing my usual, high protein, low carb..gallon of water etc.. I had company all weekend and I'm pooped..just going to relax. Just don't feel too well. How can you all encourage me? You already do, every single day! I read your posts daily tho' I fear our members will dwindle down even more...we still need eachother. I know we shouldn't compare ourselves to others, but still I want to see if other's are with me this far out of wls.. Thanks for sticking around!

I am wearing 8's in jeans now..they are a little snug, but holds the tummy in. I was wearing a tight 20 before the surgery. It's been an amazing journey so far..

You can see me and my two grandsons on my profile. They are the only two I have and they are 10 years apart. Johnathan just turned 15 and Phileo' will be 5 in Oct. Yes I spoil them I need to get some newer pictures. I'll keep trying. That pink dress is the same pink dress that I was stuff into. Now it is too big I tied it up in the back just so you could see the difference. I am so slow with the pictures. I'll get some more some day.
