For you Shauna!!

Thanks Shauna for wondering about me.  As for me I am doing good!!  I actually had a wow moment the other day I am down to a size 18 pants and 14/16 shirts.  I started off at size 24 pants and 20/22 or some 22s shirts!!  My size 20 pants were baggy but not falling off of me but tacky looking so I went to buy some 18s just to have but didnt think they would fit and yeah they freakin fit.  I was grinning ear to ear!! I have lost over 30lbs!!! 45 lbs if you count the liquid diet i went on b4 surgery.  The funny thing is that I still can not tell, i mean I notice it in my clothes but I dont see it.  Its a head thing im sure.  Im not having anymore pain and I am able to keep everything down.  To be honest, I do have hard time getting in all my water and exercise.  I did start back exercising today bc my husband left on yesterday for 3 months to Cali for school so it would be easier to have a routine without him here.  The past week I have just been trying to get in all the family time in before he left.  Well that is about all thats going on.  I hope you start to get feeling better soon bc your surgery is not far away at all!!!

Amanda,

You are making amazing progress. You are moving much faster than I did. At this rate you'll have to be sure that your daughter is with you when you pick up your husband on his return so that he'll know who you are because in 3 months time ... Well, the changes will be absolutely astounding.

Keep up the good work,

Barb

Thanks Barbara!!  I told him that I was giong to look the same hopefully!!  Oh yeah I was thinking about you the other day bc I booked a flight out of RDU it was 150 cheaper than the other airports around here I wish there was a later flight to where I could have met you but the one I booked takes off at 1130...so I guess I need to be there at 9:30 bc i heard its a big airport and then i have to park which parking is so expensive and im going home for 20 days.  Ouch thats going to hurt my wallet anywho my point was i wi**** was later flight bc I would like to meet you!! 

Amanda,

Come here. You can leave your car at my house. I'm 10 mins from the airport. Even if you come in the middle of the night and take cab it won't cost more than $15.00.  PM me and let me know when you are flying out.

Hugs,

Barb

Amanda,  You aren't just doing good...you are doing GREAT!!!  Loved to hear you are enjoying your wow moments.  There are many, many more to come, I just know it!  Can't wait until you can really SEE it. 

Hope you have a safe flight/trip...and oh boy, take Barb up on her generous offer! 

Thank you for the well wishes...not much longer now and I'll join you on the other side!
