Two Days Away, & I am AT GOAL

I am two days away from my 1 year Surgiversary, and I hit goal today. Now for me, I am 5'8" and to be out of danger range for any time of Diabetes recurrence, I needed to be at 170. This is a BMI of 26. I can not believe what the difference a year makes. Last year I was a size 26!!! LOL I recently bought a pair of pants and a cable knit sweater. Pants were size 8, and the sweater is a MEDIUM. I have absolutely NO fall/winter shoes to wear. My feet shrank from a 8.5-9 Wide to a 6-7...CAN you believe that? I didn't know feet did that too.... I have started dating a NOTHER guy, none seem to enthuse me after about the 3rd date, and this one is at the 5th or 6th date mark...so we'll see. He's smaller than any man I've ever went out with, he and I are within a couple pounds of being the same weight! And he's only about an inch or two taller than I am....But, oddly enough, I like that he is "my size" maybe he will keep me in check, so I won't fear the "Laurel and Hardy thing" happening...LOL Hope everyone is well, I lurk a LOT! Love Sherr

That is awesome Sherr.. congratulations on the upcoming surgiversary.. and hitting goal now try and maintain it.. cuz I'm sad to say it does get a little more difficult as time goes by. Also best wishes on this new fella'.. hope you find what you need if not in this fella then in the next. love you and have missed you.. and quit just lurking.. pervert..

You are so sweet, there are people on this site that just make my heart smile. You guys know who you are I have the worlds worst luck when it comes to picking a mate. I want someone kind and honest. Which sounds easy, but if they are a good con artist, they act honest, right....and then later their real side always shows.... The last guy, David, I really liked him, and on our 3rd date, he told me he could never see living in my town (Kennett, MO) because it's too flat, and he hates it. He and I are from Atlanta, and he's recently relocated to Memphis. His career allows him to live just about anywhere in the Mid South, and ((let's say in the perfect world))) I actually WANTED him to leave here......he'd be on the road w/ clients through the week anyway.... But, keep in mind, it was our 3rd date, and the fact that a.) he was talking about it...b.) he felt the need to dog out my little crappy hometown c.) would hold a town over being with the potential love of his life.... CREEPED ME OUT... He's since tried to make amends, but just toooo weird for me. Tomorrow is my Surgiversary...does that mean I get cake? I love you too Rhonda, and you know what they say about us perverted women in our 30s right? xoxo S

Thank you!

WOOOO HOOOO....congrats sister! That is awesome....keep up the hard work and remember how far you have come because to Rhondie's point, it does get harder unfortunately. Good luck with this guy.....Nate and I are close in weight (he is less than me though ) and he is only a few inches taller too...I don't care....he is awesome to snuggle with and PERFECT in all areas for me..... Come out of lurkerdome...xo, Mrs. Nate

Thanks Mrs. N! Oh, I found out at month 10, I think I gained 6 pounds, when my sweet mom was in the hospital w/ knee replacement surgery, and the weeks that followed. I have begun the fall rennovations and painting etc... on my house, which is making me move, and that's how I lost those 6, plus 6 more this month. Mike (newest guy) weighs 3 pounds LESS than me too....I am with ya sister!!! We look the same height without shoes, but I usually always wear heels, or wedges, but like you, I don't care about that.... I am sooo happy for you two! What a lovely story to have seen unfold. Love you. S
