HAPPY NEW YEAR

I got on the scale just before midnight and Im at 267.5! Cant beat that for a new years gift. I started out at 394 and Im just over 5 months out. How amazing is that. Im so looking forward to what the next year will bring me in the wt dept. Last night was wearing a xl shirt and a pair of jeans that I bought in 1992....havent been able to get them on since about 1 month after I bought them.... Im going to spend my new years day packing up all my 3x clothing for the clothing exchange. I hope there are alot of 3x ppl at the clothing exchange...bet I'll have to rent a U-hall to get it all there. I hope u all have a great New Year and Im looking forward to seeing u all on the 13th.

Congratulations on a great year. Look forward to meeting you on the 13th, too. Happy New Year. Floyd

FANTASTIC!!!! I am so proud of you. That is wonderful! Keep up the good work!!!! Claudette

Happy New Year Everyone! I trust there wasn't too much and and that everyone made it to without any ! I made it just fine! Bill & I rang in the New Year with friends (you look terrific Bonnie!!), called or text messaged family members, and talked of New Year's resolutions. I'm looking forward to 2077! Even going back to work tomorrow! LOL! I'm looking forward to getting back into my walking. In about 3 weeks, I should be cleared to start working out again. On January 8th, I have my consult with Dr. Turkle...then I can have a better idea of how much $$ I have to save up. I'm sure I'll have my FMLA time saved back up first! Bill & I are making RV plans. Wow! Such a busy year ahead!! Love it! Happy, happy everyone! Sherri

Hey Sherri, Take good notes and share all of it with us!! I am so jealous! I don't have my consult until March 5th. I am so ready for surgery!! I would do it tomorrow if she had the time! Carmen HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

BTW...I'm looking forward to 2007...I REALLY CAN wait for 2077 to get here! Carmen..just heard about another surgeons prices. This person has a very good reputation. If I hear a confirmation about the price, I'll pass the info on. I think his patient didn't catch that there were 3 zero's instead of 2 (she thinks she'll get an armlift, a breast lift, a tummy tuck, and a thigh lift....each for $500 apiece..without insurance covering a dime of it). I can come up with $2K ALOT quicker than $20K!! Oh...even heard of someone who has to GAIN 25 lbs before they'll do plastics! Remember everyone, the time to check is when you are ~20-30lbs ABOVE your ideal weight. Otherwise, you'd be anorexic...and we have all come too far to go there! I will let you all know how the consult goes.... Sherri

That is so great!!! I am so happy for you. I bet those jeans from 1992 looked super cool!! You go girl, Carmen

Mariah, congratulations about the weight loss! That's just awesome. I am so excited for you. I am starting out the new year at 247. I haven't weighed that little in years. I am up to 38 pounds gone. I want to be an even 40 pounds gone by next Monday when I start going back to the personal trainer at the Y. I worked with her for a few sessions last fall, but had to stop because of funds. But I've got that in order now, and want to show off my bod a little when I go back. We work on weight lifting together, and I love it. She is so positive and really makes me feel like I can do it.
