Thanks :) Yes, I think it's like anything else... just staying on the path. I mean, that's not to say that some don't have real metabolic disorders, but people can lose. It's just staying focused (which goodness knows that I've lost focus a few times!)

8 and a HALF and last month I only lost 5 and so far this month I've lost like 3. OOPS! And 10 of the total loss is preop... I'm still happy though. People tell me I look like a totally different person. I just put some pics in the "Dress Help" thread if you want to see. You might remember some of my preop pics... 2 of the pics are 20 pounds ago though.

Anyway, you know I always stalk you ;) You're like the 6 month ahead version of me :)

You are doing just fine. No more "ONLY" because when was the last time you lost five pounds in a freaking month? Everyone is different and you are doing freaking awesome. 130 pounds is NOTHING to sneeze at. It's awesomely wonderful and you look great. I hereby forbid you to use the word only when talking about weight loss again. Period. I have declared it. ;) xoxo

I never know if I should hug you or wring your scrawny neck. LOL

Oh, and I saw those size 20 jeans! I told you you wouldn't be in 26 forever (although I swear to god, I thought I was going to be in that size for the rest of my natural life so I felt ya!)

Candy, you've left me nearly speechless. What an amazing story, what incredible fortitude you've shown, what an outstanding success you have achieved.

Words fail me right now -- as insufficient as it may be, please accept my congratulations on a magnificent journey that is so well deserved.

Thanks. I think I ramble because I run out of words. Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought I'd be sitting here writing this or reading these posts. It's truly an amazing journey.

Amazing job! Congratulations. Thank you for sharing. I also read a lot of posts about hitting a certain month mark and Oh NO, I am done losing. There is no magic month number. What is happening is things are being forgotten and not followed and the effort isn't as great, or they are truly at a legitimate stall, but it won't last forever. So excited for all your blessings. I too lied to myself for a very long time, not realizing how big I was and not realizing how the weight hindered my life. So thankful for this amazing gift and opportunity. Thanks for the encouragement and keep counting those blessings.

“Not many of us are living at our best. We linger in the lowlands because we are afraid to climb the mountains. The steepness and ruggedness dismay us, and so we stay in the misty valleys and do not learn the mystery of the hills. We do not know what we lose in our self indulgence. What glory awaits us if only we had the courage for the mountain climb. What blessing we should find if only we would move to the uplands of God.? JRM
