i buy my wacoal bras at nordstrom. you can also buy them at lord and taylor. if you go to either store, make sure that you have someone measure you. i haven't done that since my mother took me to buy my first bra, but it makes a huge difference since we've lost so much weight! again, i can't say enough about these bras!

Man that is great. I wish you put up a profile I would love to read it

aug i weighed 437 ***dec 6 2005 my surgery day 373 1/2 ** today 237 lbs even. total loss 200 lbs but only 136lbs from dec 6th surgery date to today. i should reach my goal of 180 by the 1st of dec. and then having my excess skin removed on dec 6th 2006 ***1 year to the day** very excited about that, can hardly wait. i'm a new man and happy to say so. my doctor was the best, a really nice guy and very supportive all the way though this .

I eat out often and enjoy taking home the leftover for lunch or dinner the next day. Here are some of my favorites: Wendy's - chili Taco Bell - soft taco supreme (yummy..) Red Lobster's - shrimp scampi, crab legs or shrimp pasta McDonald's - grilled chicken salad Subway - tuna on Italian (I might have try it on a wrap next time) Chinese Restaurants - House Yat Gaw Me (thick noodles w/chicken, pork, shrimp and a boiled egg) Outback - Alice Spring Chicken (boneless chicken with cheese, bacon and a honey mustard sauce on top) Ruby Tuesday's - I love the salad bar, appetizer like boneless BBQ wings, or hamburger I could go on and on but those are just a few of my favorites....

Hi, everybody. It's looks like everyone is doing quite well! Here are my answers. 1. Pre-op/Current/Goal 259/174/130 2. What is your daily food intake like? b - Nectar protein s - slice of cheese w/ some kind of fruit l - I eat out a lot. I usually get a salad, grilled chicken, chicken salad, or sometimes I have a fajita taco. s - dried pineapple, this really helps my sweet tooth, or a protein bar d - a small portion of whatever I cook for my family. We grill chicken and steak a lot. s - more pineapple or sf ice cream bar 3. Any complications, problems or issues? I've been really fatigued lately, but my labs are fine. Not sure what the problem is. 4. How have your family and friends adjusted to the "New You"? My family and friends have been awesome! They are super encouraging and genuinely happy for me. I couldn't ask for better friends and family. 5. Do you think the further out you are getting that this journey is getting easier or harder? Why? I think it's getting easier. It doesn't bother me as much when people eat sweets in front of me. It used to put me in an awful mood. I think things are looking up because I can eat a variety of things and I'm over the sugar cravings. Also, food is less important as my body shrinks! : ) 6. Any advice you would like to offer.... EXERCISE! and don't get discouraged when the weight loss slows down (I'm speaking to myself right now!). That one is really hard. Mine has slowed way down with the increase of exercise, but I'm losing inches like crazy. I do wish that darn scale would move, too, though.
