I agree spit it out Sandy! Ok here's mine: I've lost 75 lbs in 3 months and a week and a half. I've gone from a tight size 24 pant 3X shirt to a 16/18 pant and lg/XL shirt!!! I'm excercising 6 days a week, I can RUN, I can tie my shoes without propping my foot up on the table, I can paint my own toes without trying to contort. I no longer have heartburn, my Blood sugar is normal, no more foot or knee or back pain, No longer need the icky CPAP machine that makes me look rediculous! I love to shop for clothes now AND I can buy them in the regular department where all the cute stuff is at instead of the plus size (thats my favorite part) For the first time in many years I'm not afraid to get out there and meet people. I have loved meeting all of you wonderful people! Great question Sandy!!!

Well, I could go on for hours on this subject. I lost 105 lbs went from a size 26 jeans to a 16/18. I gained a beautiful baby girl 15 months ago. I have way more energy...thank God...i forgot how much work it was chasing a little one. I have much more confidence in myself. I don't hide out in the crowd any more. I went from being the shy quiet one to being a lot more outgoing. I no longer take insulin or blood pressure meds. I can sit in a booth at a restaurant without really sucking it in. Come on Sandy we're waiting!!

WHHOOOOooooOOOOoooooOOOOOOOO!! TOOT, TOOT!! TOOT!!

(Keep 'em guessing, praying, hoping, and laughing).

Having lost 107 lbs during the past 18 months (was a light-weight), down from size 22W pants and 2X/20W tops to the current 6 and 8 Petite pants and size S and SX tops. Even my feet shrank from size 7W to 6-1/2N! I've evolved into a jacket ***** shoes ***** Levi's and Silver jeans *****cute little size XS tops ***** purse and bag *****never imgined in my wildest dreams embracing the privilege of whoring around all over town, buying amazing clothes at the local thrift store and Goodwill!?!!! I'm no longer taking high blood pressure meds, no longer taking high cholesterol meds, not sleeping more than six hours a day compared to previous twelve minimum, and the number ten reason for (my) self-Toot: Feeling younger thisclose to 52 than I ever did in my 20s, 30s, and 40s without carrying that 'extra person' around 24/7! Love, love, each of you on the boards, and am so excited to meet every one of you in person over the year! And my new mantra:

Live life to the fullest

Never by half,

And always make sure

To Live Love and Laugh. Hugs galore, Patti

Never let your memories be greater than your dreams.

I have lost 72 pounds since my first dietician appointment - which as of this morning put me in ONEderland! My blood sugar levels are way down in the normal range now (5.5), my blood pressure & cholesterol are way down. I bought 2 pairs of jeans last week - an 18 and a 16 - thinking I would wear the 18 now and have the 16 for later. While the 16s are just a little snug, the 18s are really kind of baggy! YAY! The jeans I wore the day of surgery were a snug 24. Who knew??! Can't remember the last time I wore a 16 anything!

I can fit in any chair or booth now without worrying about it. I am flying to Florida for work on Thursday and for the first time I am not nervous about the seat belt and I am betting I am going to be able use the drop down tray (for the first time in years!). Funny how little things like that mean so much...

And of course having this new group of friends is awesome too! Ain't life great?! XXXOOO
