Update..Wow!

Hello, everyone. I thought I would just take a minute to post about some "wow" moments! First of all, I'm under 300 pounds!!! I'm right at 287!!! I can't believe that. I haven't been under 300 pounds in about 7-8 years! When I started this journey, I was right at 340! Things I need to check off my list: sit in a booth (Derrick, Nathan and I sat in a booth at a huddle house!!!!!!) I know you guys know what a big deal that was! I mean, those are the smallest booths in the world! I can cross my legs!!! I can't cross them for long, but I can do it!!! I can get into the bathing suit that Becky gave me! I have been trying it on every few days. I'm also in a lot of clothes I haven't worn in a while. I have even worn a couple of skirts!!!! My largest jeans: 32's are way, way, way too big!!!! It is amazing!!!! I can walk a pretty good distance without getting winded. My heels and back don't hurt so badly (they still hurt, but I seem to recover faster). I can wear a size 3 Elisabeth shirt (thank you Mary)! Challenges: Handling constant compliments and not saying I had weight loss surgery as an excuse; getting in enough protein (still having trouble one I can handle and tastes decent); getting in enough exercise. I hope we guys can see you guys on the 22nd. I think we are planning on it. I have several pieces of clothing in 30/32 and 4x's.

WOOOOOHOOOOOOOO...way to go girlfriend!!! Feels good, huh? Well, I am bringing back the 26's I got at the last exchange and some of my stuff as well. The 26's should be about right now :D Maybe even some 24's? You are doing SO great!!! Can't wait to see you and Derek on the 22nd. Shree

Thank you, Sweetie. I really hope to see you on the 22nd too! We are planning on being there!

And seriously hope to get to meet you one of these days. Again you look great and are such an inspiration to this wanna be on the other side looser sandy

You are so sweet. I never thought of myself as an inspiration. I do need to update my picture...I need to take one first. You'll be on your way soon....

FANTASTIC!!! I'm so happy for you girlie! Don't worry too much about the amount of exercise you're getting in...as long as you're moving you're doing great! Can't wait to see you on the 22nd! Dee Dee

Thank you for the advice and affirmations! How are you doing?

Boy do I remember the first time I crossed my legs after surgery - that is such a great, feminine feeling! WTG on your loss! Kia

So happy for you! I remember last week I caught myself crossing my legs, did not even realize I was doing it and when I realized it I had to laugh! What a nice feeling. I have lost 31 pounds since surgery and remember when I got below the big 300, boy was that a moment!!! Have not been there in 20 years myself! Keep it up. Judye

WOW!!! YOUR doing such an amazing job! ! ! ! ( I am having protien issues 2!)
