Hi Peeps

Well I know its been like forever since I've posted...but working full time has got me nutty....I can't find the time to do anything lately... Well its been 6 and a 1/2 months since surgery and I've lost.....drumroll please....116 lbs....I feel great, and yep....I look great too!!!! finally I can say that. I will post pics as soon as my hubby takes some. I went to Doc Ryders and all my bloodwork is incredibly good and she said I'm done with the weight loss...but I still think I want to lose another 10 or 20 lbs....I'm wearing a size 6 pants and a medium shirt...but my belly is still there...well to me it is...i guess its just more excersize...but to find the time is really hard... The only thing that went wrong for me is that my hair fell out really bad....but I took it upon myself to shave my head and start all over so that it will all come in new and full again.....now I am wearing a wig and everyone tells me it looks great and real. I love it cuz my hair was always thin and frizzy and now I have straight beautiful hair and I look like a new person. Everyone at work laughs at me cuz one day I wear a short wig and then the next my hair is long and I'm driving the male docs crazy cuz they think we have a new person all the time lol....but its just me being me....by the way my hair is growing back really fast, and I think it was the best thing I ever did...so if anyone's hair is really thin and they are going crazy as to what to do, well do it, and become a new you....www.loriswigsite.com has the best real looking wigs and they are not expensive it's like a hundred and twenty five dollars for rush delievery and it comes in like 3 days. I haven't even had time to go to the meetings, but I'll try real hard next month. Shel, Kristen's, Nadene, Trace, Shannon, and all the rest of you, I've been reading how wonderful you guys have been doing and I'm so proud of all of you...Rose is working with me now and she's doing wonderful, but she can eat so much more then me, I'm so jealous, she's lost about 45 lbs in 2 months and feels great. Well i'll try to post more often and remember I love you guys... Teri

Teri, Wow! one hundred sixteen pounds in less than seven months!! Amazing I'm so happy for you, but soooo jealous for me. Last I checked, I'm at 58lbs in four months. I doubt I could pull off another 58lbs in two and a half months (but I'll try). I've always wanted to shave my head and wear a wig, it would be so cool to have different hair on different days. I've always envied Suzanne Powder, she wore the buzz cut. I thought she looked fabulous! Very gutsy of you Teri!! Can't wait to see your pictures. I'm planning to do a motivational before and after photo board for our group. I was supposed to bring it up at the last meeting, but forgot to go. I think a lot of us missed that one. Can you imagine waaay back, ever thinking that you'd like to take off just a few more pounds to be happy/done????? Incredible!! I'm so happy for you! Pam

teri !!! i've been waiting for this post!! wooohoooooo. i can't believe you're at goal [or just about]. that is soooo great. we need to see you - like now!!! you know what's kinda crazy? i'm at -116, too and just a day behind you. LOL but i'm now in XL shirts and size 14-16 pants [in REGULAR stores!!] i can't wait to see you - are you going to the mtg next month? i'm so hoping i can go. i'll just have to leave work early because i need to go. my snacking is getting a little ridiculous. i wish i was able to go this last time around.. so i just have to watch what i'm doing. keep up the fantastic work! kristen*
