thanks... I think I'm always going to feel "fat" .. even if I got down to 100 lbs..(which will never happen..lol)..I just seems like I"ve been looking at the same numbers on the scale for the last 2 months or so... just ****** me off.. As for you... you look awesome.. I didnt even recognize you until they said your name when your car was ready. You have done fantastic. Did they have the meeting Thursday? I told you I was going to be there... and FORGOT all about it until like 7:30... if they have one next month, I will most definatley be there... just keep me posted. THanks Lora

First of all come here let me slap you!!! *SLAP* 140 lbs in a year when was the last time you did that???????? YOU have done awesome.. I am over a year out and I have lost only 130lbs and mine has stopped.. am I giving up HELL NO!!! You have lost a lot of weight your body has to adjust.. that takes time.. change up your exercise try something new.. step back to all fluids for a couple of days.. Make sure your getting in all your protien all your water etc... Don't give up DONT get discouraged!!! Debby

Thanks!! so when are you going to post your post op pics from your plastics??? You know I want full frontal nudes

Ranay and Jen, This is something I would like to get started on Friday nights as an ongoing thing at least for summer. We will see how it goes after that. I know alot of people come down way past labor day and if the interest is there we will continue. See you lighter. Joanne Hammond Obesity Help Chapter Leader

Debby- thanks for the encouraging words. Like I said above to Chandra.. seems like the same numbers keep repeating themselves OVER AND OVER..lol You look great and CONGRATS on the marriage. You both look very happy. I wish you all the best. ((( hugs )))) ~ Lora
