Too much weight... I'm confused!

OK I was 176 a week and a half ago. I told my friend yesterday I was 167.. but then my head tilted to the side, I had a blank look on my face, and I thought... DID I REVERT THE NUMBERS? It's too much weight to keep up! I'm confused! But yes its 167... I was right... but at that moment I realized.. OMG I'm 167. I didn't weigh that since JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL. And then I felt guilty cause I don't feel like I did anything to lose it. Anyone else felt that way?

Melinda, You look great and just love your peppy personality. I too feel at times that I have not worked hard enough to lose the 138 lbs I have lost. I also have alot more to lose than most, my current weight is higher than most people's starting weight when they have bypass. My starting weight before surgery was over 400 lbs so losing 138 lbs and still being big is sometimes depressing but then I think of where I would be if I never had surgery and am thankful every day I made this decision. You are doing awesome!!

Juanita Girl you are beautiful. You look AWESOME. I thought all of us at our table were the best looking ones at Logans! Not that I am proud of each one of our accomplishments or anything... haha

Melinda thanks so much. I have never been called"beautiful" always cute or you would be so pretty if... I have to agree I am so proud of all our accomplishments!! We Rock

I have a hard time believing no one has ever called you beautiful...because you are! But you know, it's funny and so sad the kind of conditions society puts people under so that often someone might think someone is beautiful but they don't feel able to say it. I had a friend in school who I was so crushing on but he was hot and had a cheerleader girlfriend and I was bigger than the cheerleading squad put together...so I never said anything. I ran into him not long ago and he admitted that he always had a crush on me in school but that he never said anything because, and I quote, "You know how friends can be. I never had the nerve 'cause I didn't want to get made fun of for having a big girl. But I am glad I grew up and figured out what's important and besides, you are so pretty." He then asked me out...I wasn't wearing my wedding ring because it is falling off so I'm getting it sized once I reach goal...and was so embarrassed when I told him I'd been married for nearly ten years. So it goes to show you how oppressive society can be! So Juanita, I guarantee you, even if no one has told you that you are beautiful, I can assure you there have been plenty of people who have thought it!

Hey girls, just wanted to say I really enjyed myself yesterday. I also think we are looking goooood! Lol . Some of you were talking about your kids being over weigh thats why I brought my daughter with me I want her to do this so bad but I dont want to push her, it makes me so sad to see her stuggle doing stuff . Like some of you said you fell like its your fault. So im taking it slow with her. But anyway I had a good time. I hope everyone did! Did cathy make it home ok ? Sue w

Sue, it was great to me you and your daughter. Hopefully Tina will receive inspiration from the lunch bunch! Kathy was fine after she walked around for a while and was in good shape by the time she left...I'm sure she really appreciates your concern!
