If you find my posts offensive please read at your own risk!!!! ok I got my numbers on weight and measurements. Of course the last time I measured was at week 6 starting out :    march 16-2008                        today: may 20-2008                                  weight 169                                                           weight 152.5                            last measurements were 4-20-08    arms 13"                                                                     arms  11.5"                         chest 41.5"                                                                  chest 38" (prolly a 34 now and the DD is too big) waist 34"                                                                      waist 31" hips 44"                                                                       hips 39" quads 29"                                                                    quads 24" calves 16.25"                                                              calves 16" ok my determination comes from wanting to be healthy and happy at 38....I will be 38 Monday. My trainer also know as TRACY.....pushes my until I want to vomit. He is my inspiration and my driving force. He does not allow me to be sick and miss training....I even tried telling him I had cramps and a note from my mom.....he laughed and yelled at me to get my a$$ moving this is not a time for laziness. I financed my boobs and pay them monthly for the next four years. I have only my income and I am very proud of having them. It makes me feel more like a woman. I am 7 years post op and my breasts sagged to my belly button and were just deflated shells. I call them TWINS, because they are almost perfect and they were born the same day. My sense of humor allows me to joke about them, I am not ashamed. I would encourage anyone to do this. Some newbies do not get how their body is going to look.......things sag, things deflate, skin does not always go back to its original place, you change all over. Most of us will undergo some form of plastic surgery. It is nothing to be ashamed of or hide. I know OH members who do not and have not told their families they had surgery......whats the shame in taking control of ones life......if you do not take care of your body where you gonna live???????????????????????/ You know it was easier for us to become obese and unhealthy than it is going to be for us to get healthy. I am one of the few long term post ops who still posts, no I am not native to AR, but I reside here, so I post here. This is an open forum and we are all entitled to our opinions and beliefs. If someone says something you dont agree with dont slam them just close the box and move on.  Lurking is more offensive anyhow. Its kind of like being nosy. If you never post then why do you comment on that rare post that all you do is flame someone. Kind of like voting.....if you do not vote you have no right to complain about who is put in office. I have been an OH member since 2001, but never made my profile until the last couple years due to no computer access.  oh well I have ranted enough........ tammy

Congrats on the drops.  Isnt it nice to be such a loser???  I am doing a treatment for my asthma, been fishing and its freaking hot out there, but so much easier to take since Im over 100 lbs lighter than this time last year. Woo Hoo.  After the updraft Im going to town to buy tea, make the dreaded bank payment and then to the gym to try to be like tammy!!! Gotta get up to 20 minutes on the eliptical.  So far I can do 14 w/o dying.  I will be at 20 this time next week.  Gonna do 100 situps today as well.  I do my sit ups in segments.  Walk, sit ups, eliptical, sit ups, jump rope, situps.  I know the jump rope must do some good, they have the dang things in the gym, and it makes me feel like a second grader for a little while!!! Off to work out and give away my money.  Have a great day, call me when you get a chance. Hugs, Rhonda

OMG Tammy ! ! !

Hey Tammy, If I've said it once, I've said it a billion times, measuring is a very good thing!!!   You've lost something like 16 inches girl.  It's wonderful to be seeing such great results for your hard work. I bet your trainer is very proud of you! Keep it up, as soon as I'm able I'm hoping to get going at a gym.  You've inspired me!

Congrats

Congratulations !!!  All that hard work is showing.  I wish I were 38 again.  I'm an old foggy at 55 lol.  Ma'am doesn't bother me too much.  It's the "do you want the senior discount?" that kills me.  Have a wonderful day and keep being a "loser".

never thought loser status would ever be cool............... thanks to all who have shown support .....remember its never to late to get back on track
