Awesome! Congrats!!! That is a great week's loss. I lost 2 this week making my total 56.6. I worked out 5 days last week so I think that helped. I'm leaving for vacation next Wednesday (my weigh-in day) so I would like to lose a little before I go away. I'm already planning to do a "back to basics" clean eating when I get back. I need to really work hard to get these pounds off now. I'm still eating too many sweets. I can't believe tomorrow is our 6 month surgiversary <3

Oh and as far as shopping, I bought over $200 worth of clothes at Burlington Coat Factory last weekend. Their prices were amazing, it was like 4 bags total. Shirts/blouses for work, sweaters, some jewelry, some lingerie And I bought another goal dress, size 14. It's a straight cut so it is realllllllly tight over my hips. Hope I can wear it in a few months

Great job ladys where has the time went 6 months and it seems like yesturday. I wish i could start exercise because im sure that would help. Are u all drinking plan water or something like crystal light. I have been weighing myself every day before showing and was at a stall for a few weeks yesturday i was 167.4. My goal was 150 but my 13 year old daughter is not to happy with me she says i took the easy way out and dont have to do anything to loose weight she weights 164 so im not sure if i want to work hard to get below her weight because i don't want to hurt her feelings.Got mmy blood work done last week and everything was good. she said i could loose down to 150 and still not look sick so we will see what happens . Ladys keep up the good work we can do this.

So great to hear from both of you this week!

J - I wouldn't listen to your 13 year old daughter (she is teenager full of righteous indignation and no idea how much weight is a struggle at this point...plus she is hard wired to push your buttons). I would shoot for your goal but perhaps not share your weight with your daughter if it is going to upset her. I am so excited that you are so close to goal at 6 months out! I am losing like a turtle compaired to you. I'm dying to get out of the 190's. I'm sure I will get there but it may take longer then I hoped. Can you post some pictures on your profile?

L - How was your vacation? I think it is great that you have goal clothing. I should get a goal pair of 14 pants (dislike dresses - my thighs still rub together!) and focus on fitting into those. I am holding pretty steady with size 16 right now (I will take that over my size 22W's!). Our Burlington Coat Factory is a huge ole mess! I find it hard to find anything in it. We still haven't hit cold weather here in the south so I'm still in my summer clothes. I am going to have to find some winter clothes soon'ish so I will attempt another look at Burlington.

Vacation was amazing! And get this, I lost 2 lbs! How weird. I ate and drank whatever I wanted. But the resort was huge and we had to climb up hills and stairs to get to breakfast. We were curious one day and counted the stairs...61! We were like I bet we will come home lighter and we did. And I brought my 2 bikinis and wore them. They are a size 16. My stomach is no where near flat but I still wore them! I love the Dominican Republic, I'm already planning to go back in February with my boyfriend

Wow! You braved a bikini?!?! I'm not sure I could. I can still see scars on my stomach from the surgery. Way to go on the 2 lbs lost. I've been to the Dominican Republic to an all inclusive resort and had a great time. My husband and I would go back for sure as well.
