YAY!  Was hoping for a little more, but I will take it.  The number on the scale as of this morning is 299.  It has been 5 years since I have been under 300 pounds.  Celebrated early yesterday by buying me some new jeans and some new FITTED tops (which are very slimming).  Hoping to get some new pics up after this weekend.

Have a great weekend!!!  I sure as heck plan to.  I am off work!! YIPPIE.  Going to sister's bridal shower.

Glad to hear you were off to the gym.  How are u doing with the gym?  My trainer had me doing this exercise called "mountain climbers".   I looked at her demonstartion and thought yo myself that I cannot do this... but like I told her "I will try anything once".  I actually ended up doing well and LOVED it.

WTG Fran! With the exception of a couple of plateaus, the weight just melted off and it will for you too.  Isn't it exciting?  Right now, I weigh less than I did in the third grade.

TY.  I just realized that in the 6th grade I weighed 170 pounds.  That would be kewl to get down to that. 

Congrats on your loss.  Not sure what I weighed in the 3rd grade..  too long ago

ty.  I lost about 15-16 pounds on the pre-op diet. So about 45 pounds is since surgery.  I lost 11 pounds last month.  in the 1st 6 weeks after surgery I lost 32 pounds.  I am glad that it slowed down a little.  Want to give my body time to adjust to the new me and my new lifestyle.  been working out at the gym with a trainer 2-3 times a week for the last 3 weeks.  So I am sure that I built some muscle in this body somewhere :).  Down to a 22 now. down from a skin tight 24 ( shouolda been 26, but i refuse to buy bigger pants)

How are you doing? SUrgery coming up soon?  Ready? Nervous? Excited?
