Hi Mona.. Congratulations girl.. you are doing great. Sounds like you and I started out around the same weight. Thursday I will be 6mos and I am down 93 pounds. It feels so good to be so close to being normal again. I too am in 14s and 12s. The 14s are a little too baggy and the 12s are sometimes a little too tight but I am dealing with it. I wont fuss I guess.. I was in 24s and 22s. Its nice to fall out of that MORBIDLY OBESE catergory. I am now just overweight. I am perfectly satisfied with that I guess. I am 2 pounds under surgeons goal and have my 6mos appt 2morrow. Excited to see them. One of my biggest goals is to be able to run laps... I do ride a bike but thinking of running is cool. It would just take time to build up the endurance. Watching folks at the tracks makes me green with envy. There bodies are so toned. I still have issues with head hunger and I still battle them usually on a daily basis. I think its normal cause I know others do too..but if you ever want to talk - let me know. We are right there in dates and comparing notes is good for me.. haha...I, like many others on here depend on support from this board and support group members. I am lucky that alot of my local support members come here and there are alot of us to keep each of us going. I do think its very important to be involved in the support groups. I get it daily here and monthly with them. Take care and keep us updated. You are doing so good! Christine -93

You go girl! You are doing great! Thanks for letting us know how you are doing. Missed you. Smooch Arlies
