It's my 11 month anniversary!

Happy anniversary to meeeeeeee!!!!!!! It's hard to believe that I have one more month till my surgery is a year old! My re-birthday!! I have lost a total of 151 pounds, my BMI is somewhere around 26.9 and I am wearing size MEDIUM shorts!! I feel awesome, even though I have been eating M&M's the past couple of days! (smack my hand, lol) I went to the swimming pool the past 3 days with my family and worked on a KILLER tan, in a swimsuit, even! I posted before and after pictures on my member page, please check them out. Take care all and have a great week!! ~Julie

That's fantastic Julie! I had no idea you had lost so much in so little time! Tell the rest of us in retrospect about the passage of time; I mean, did it feel like it was taking forever? How much did you lose each week? Any plateaus? How did you get through them? How often did you change sizes? What kind of exercise are you doing? How soon before YOU noticed a change in your size? How soon before others started commenting? Any negative reactions from family/friends? How about reactions from people who were overweight but not as big as you in the beginning? What are you eating? Loose skin? Any plans for TT? What is the most memorable thing you have done so far that you would not ever have tried before? How has your weight loss affected your work? If you have a significant other, how has it affected your relationship? Sorry I'm so full of questions, but my turn will be coming up before I know it and I have all the "surgical" questions answered! I don't hear much about the emotional side except for how good everyone feels! Michelle

Julie, You are such an inspiration to all of us. Thank you so much for all your support and kindness.~~~Amy
