Thank you jesus, I am over that awful plateau! I am in a size 18 top and 24 on bottom, that's a long way from where I was! 26/28 on top and30/32 on bottom. I am so excited! ....."and I just cant hide it!!" hehe! I'll never get that song out of my head now! Hehe! Hugs!! Crystal

WOO HOO thats great girlie!!!!!!!!! I got you some 12's,14's, 16's,18's,and maybe a few 20's in the closet if you need them! hehe Oh and i got the CUTIEST size 18 Tankini from my trip to Flordia last october that is too big for me now only wore it twice! I love it gonna order a new one the same suit in a 12 for my trip to flordia next month! I put the old one on yesterday thought i was gonna lay out in it in the back yard, Donnie laughed at me it was so big i had no idea that i had changed that much since october, strange since i have only lost about 15 lbs since then! I'm wierd i can get smaller and not have lost a lb! haha

You BETTER save me some 16's and 14' - I ain't got nothing for spring and summer (and you don't want to see me naked!)...D.

that is fantastic Crystal!...i'm so proud for you.....i hope i am still a candidate for surgery...cos i weighed 301 when the doc put me on this diet on Dec. 27th...i now weigh 255; lost 44 pounds....don't know what my BMI is but i'm scheduled for surgery on May 1st....i started out wearing a size 30-32 top and 24 pants...i'm now in a 24 shirt and my 20 jeans are getting baggy...i never imagined losing just that much weight would make me feel so much better....cos i still need to lose 100 more pounds...we will be some skinny minnies before this is over!...lol....again, congratulations....keep up the good work!!

Thats great on your weight loss! I lost about 30 pounds with WW before my surgery, my ins. required I do the diet under a doc supervision, but my ins. kept giveing me the run around, and i got depressed and gained it all back before surgery! go figure! anywho, as far as you still qualifying for surgery, as long as you have your ins. approval I wouldnt worry about it, but depending on how tall you are I wouldn't go past 250, I am 5'7 and I am at 252 and my BMI is below 40 now. good luck on your surgery! its the best thing I ever did for myself. crystal

i know what you mean about the runaround...from insurance and just the whole process in general....seems like it's 2 steps foreward sometimes and 6 or 7 back..lol....i've gotten my approval from insurance so that's a good thing....i'm at your weight right now and i'm five foot four....short!..lol....i think he said on my last visit my BMI was 44 but not sure...started out at 51....Thanks for the positive comments...they are always good to hear...and again, congratulations on your loss....
