A Thought....

May 2005 - 269(No surgery yet) / "and that's da whole story so far folks" LOL Sue

Hey Sue.. You are around the weight I was when I had my surgery. Its gonna happen for you... I feel it!

I really need my hand slapped! April 2004/253/155/140= 98/ HOMEMADE TACOS What I need the slapping for though is eating roasted peanuts. OMG, they about killed me. Thought DH was going to have to rush me to the ER. Kitsy

Hey Hot Momma!! When did you eat those peanuts?? I havent had roasted but I have had boiled and seemed to do fine. Maybe its the dryness of the roasted... We are really going to miss you at the Bash I was so looking forward to meeting you. You are doing great! 98 pounds is amazing and you really really do look great. You are so tiny in that picture -nothing but bones! If you dropped 15 more you will be too tiny!

Hey Girl, I think it is a great idea. However as you know..... I haven't had surgery. So, does that mean that I can put down a really higher weight amount ? That way when I do have surgery, I will look like I've lost a bunch of weight. Plus, I could play along now & look like I'm losing weight ! Just kidding. But it does sound like a great idea. Tammy

You are a crazy girl!! I know you havent had surgery and it doesnt matter. YOU WILL. It wont be long now. You can post whatever you want to.... I just wont include you in the tally... haha.. Are you gonna come with Arlies on Monday???

Hey Sweetie, I doubt I make it. Maybe after school gets out and my crew is up for a road trip we will. I know that it would be a blast. I'll be so glad when I do have surgery !!! I'z be tired of waiting. But, I keep telling myself..... "there is an unknown reason for the wait & only God knows it". However.... I'm kinda ready for him to clue me in !!! Tammy

Okay my surgery date was 1/15/04. My weight the day of surgery was 277 pounds. By 11/04 I had lost 141 pounds weighing 136. I still weigh 136 which is 9 pounds below goal. So I have been maintaining since Nov. 2004. A definite milestone for me as I have never been able to maintain a weight loss. Worst food today was a homemade sugar free fudge brownie I made followed by another one two hours later. Only needed the one. But they were calling me from the kitchen, and I answered. I decided they were too tasty of a temptation to keep around so I let my family have one and then took the rest to the neighbors. They are healthy eaters and enjoy trying my sugar free experiments. They get them often as I have to get the stuff out of the house if it turns out too tasty LOL. I am weak sometimes. Melissa

Melissa you are an inspiration to us all. You NEED to post your befores and afters so everyone else can see what we have all seen here in Hattiesburg. You have done really good and you look great! I was fussing today to Denise cause my weight loss has slowed and compared myself to you.. 10 mos post op and you had dropped 141 pounds. I am 7 mos and only down 100. It was pointed out that you were and are a HARD CORE worker outter... I am going to do my best to get myself into gear and get to the gym and hopefully I will get to losing again. You are doing a great job maintaining and dont even sweat those brownies.. They were sugar free!!! Next time, save me one....

Good deal, but I don't tell my staring weight yet!!! It be just TOO much!!! A very few people know.....and I only weigh monthly right now....just cause I don't wanna get that ole weigh and worry thing started, but I can update you as of last weigh in..... 1/11/05 -121.3 lbs....bad food for the day 3 nabs in my tomato soup.... Smoochies Arlies PS I will weigh today in honor of the support group meetings tonight!
