2 month pic

Thank You Deb. That is my Tumbleweed the day I met his breeder in Davis to pick him up. He came from down near Ft Worth. He is a big boy now at 8 months old (for a ****er spaniel) and just has filling out to do. 

Those tri color parti's have always been one of my favorites.  They grow up so fast.  Moon, my BC is 7 months old now and he's such a hoot.  One minute he's a big brave dog, the next minute he's a tiny puppy-what a goof.  Maybe some day we can meet at the river for a dog walk.

I would love that Deb. I added a new album of all my furbabies and my real babies if you want to take a look.

You look like a different person!  And younger too!  You are doing so great.  See?  You don't need the scales to tell you're losing weight!

Keep on chuggin Momma!  You are showing us all how it's done!  Now go pat yourself on the back!

Thank You Kim! Its funny that you mention younger as I have been id'd 3 times in the past week twice when buying cigs for my mom and once when I went for beer this weekend (I was the only sober adult) i havent been asked for id so much since I was too yound to be buying the stuff of course teh dye job I did last week to cover my gray helped. LOL I was one of those lucky folks who started graying at 20. *SIGH* THANK God for Miss Clairol.  As for snowing you all I hope that maybe a newbie can be as amazed by my journey as I have been by so many of your stories before me. And all the post ops and even pre-ops have amazed me and make me all that more determined to stick with this.

Sarah~  All I can say is WOW!  You can really see the difference in 2 mos time so just imagine another 2 mos, then another... and so on!  You look amazing~ soooo pretty!  Take a look at my pics if you get a chance as there is a before/after pic in there as well (not my very heaviest, but 6 lbs under it).  Sometimes, even 4 1/2 years later, I still look in the mirror and I see that heavy girl, then I talk to myself for a bit and she goes away.  Keep up the great work!  I look forward to knowing you better throughout your journey~ *hugs*

PS  I think 200 is a great goal~ That lady who said it was "big" can kiss off!  You won't look big at all at 200 lbs, plus it's none of her business!  Just my 2 cents!

Thank You Renae. Why I let her get to me I don't know but I did but you all have helped me get back right in my own head. I checked out your pictures and they are so amazing and for you to look so good after wls and 2 babies wow you are my hero now.

Wow girlfriend you look awesome!  I know exactly where you are coming from with the goal you have set.  I remember a post from John several months ago where he said that some may never get to goal because those of us who have carried a large amount of weight around for years and years have a more dense bone structure than others.  Our bodies do that to carry around our baggage...which makes sense to me.  Oh well, it's only a number and when you start out like we did...over 400 then a 200 pound goal is awesome I think.  I don't have a goal of 125 or something stupid like that.  I've never been there and won't.  I think we have to be realistic and listen to our bodies and our docs.  I'll be elated to get to 200 myself!  You're rockin that new tool of your's that's for sure....I would sure blow off that comment from the ignorant fool of a lady too!!!!  Unless you've been where we were and know what it takes you really can't comment about any of this can you???  Have an awesome day!!!!

Thank You very much. the greta comments on here has helped me tuck that baggage back away.

Lookin Good! You are motivating me to get off my lazy butt and start exercising. Keep up the good work.
