Wow..what an accomplishment! Congrats to you!

Thanks Lisa

WOW!!! Such an inspiration!!!! I LOVE watching you be happy.. you have given so much you deserve to have your dreams come true!!! See ya Sat. Linda

You are right behind me Miss Cute as a Button The dietitian told me my protein intake is fine...I need to increase the complex carbs...more whole grains (breads, cereals, pastas), fruits, veggies. And she told me to make sure I eat breakfast to kick in the metabolism first thing in the mornings. Since I average 1000 calories a day (when I remember to eat )-she said a good 200-300 calorie breakfast would put me where I need to be. I told her all those vitamins with my coffee everyday was a meal in itself She wasn't impressed So I am going to have my Mini-Wheats today for breakfast to start the day off right. See ya Saturday

GOOD FOR YOU!!!!!!! That is so awesome. Wow...I wonder what that will be like for me. I am down 93 pounds as of today and in a SIZE 12!!!!!! I couldn't believe it and the 12's are not tight...I have some room! It so cool. Awesome job, Deb!! -courtney

Way to go Courtney I only have a few size 10's...so I go between my 12's and the few 10's I have. But I will be getting rid of the 12's in April at the next exchange. Yesterday I had on size 12's from Old Navy and the nurses told me my pants were falling off they were so big. They laughed at me cuz I had to keep pulling them up When I started out....my measurements were: Arms 23 inches Bust 66 inches Waist 56 inches Hips 68 inches Yesterday they measured: Arms 10 inches Bust 38 inches Waist 35 inches (excess skin ) Hips 40 inches If I could have my tummy tuck and get 8-10 inches trimmed off the middle...I would have an hour glass shape But look at that....over 2 FEET smaller in my hips!!!!!!!! And a foot smaller around my arms!!!!!! Amazing...simply amazing.

Deb, that is just fantastic news!! As everyone else has already said, you are a true inspiration....and just a very nice person in addition to being an inspiration! Sherri
