Hmmmm...I am 39 and holding..until the end of June..I have done just about anything within reason..so that is pretty broad definition..the only thing I can think of that I haven't done is that waxing thing..have shaved down below though ..wax everything else..but just not there..not sure I want too either....wonder what will be next???

Well since I forgot to put up a picture at 9 months picture, so technically it's a 10 month picture. I have currently lost 131#. I haven't updated my status on here and I will correct that shortly. Thought I would post some pictures from beginning until now. This tool will work for you! I am not saying I didn't have set backs and everything wasn't perfect on my journey, but it is working. I am thankful I took the leap. 12 hours before surgery: 6 months post op: And today at 10 months post op 131# down:

Thank you!

Thank you!

Awesome you are on your way!

Wonder who recommended them hmm..btw thanks love them!

Gosh. I had no idea. *blush* thanks! I haven't been posting as much lately. And I will try to get back on...time flies for vets I guess..you and everyone else will be there too very soon. Thanks for the vote of confidence. That makes me want to try harder now!

Congrats!

I wasn't sure that I could see a difference between the 6 and 10 month picture and then I realized my black running pants..they only went down to mid calf at 6 months..now they are down to my ankles..lol!

Hmm...stupid thing jacked up my stick out yer tongue face..I've have to improvise...

????

Baaaaaaaaa....cats are awesome cause either they like you or they don't ..a lot like people ...????

I think like everyone else said..people are curious about people who are successful, but do they really want to do what it is necessary..probably not...especially if its going to be remotely difficult. You know..my turning point was the diagnosis of pre-diabetes..why I thought high cholesterol and high blood pressure was "ok"...I can take a pill..but watching family members die from complications of diabetes..was serious for me. So until they have the OMG moment...they won't change..but I bet you are inspiring people to look at themselves and you may just be a catalyst for their own self discovery and change!

I don't know...I like to think once my journey is done..and will it ever really be done until I draw my last breath... anyway...once my journey is done and since there are movie references used here I will use one too....Remember in the LOTR when Frodo, technically Golem, destroys the ring in the fires of MT. Doom and says.."it's done". I think that's how I will feel..it's done..my task is finally done..relief..great relief that my task is done. To me, I am not sure if my journey will ever be over and then what to do??? Well for damn sure..I will go back to San Antonio, TX, pay the over priced admission to Six Flags, crappiest theme park ever IMHO, and ride that damn roller coaster with or without my daughter just so I can sit down and not embarrass myself in front of 300 people waiting in line just because my fat arse wouldn't fit..and then after that...heck..I may just go to Disney because I can..that or Hawaii just because I have always wants to go there...might aloha for me..

I have got to get myself a Vitamix....heard a Blendtec was a good brand too..apparently Costco has the best price for a new Vitamix ...now if I could find a friend that has a Costco near them and I could go in there ..the nearest one to me is an hour away..can't justify a membership for 1 purchase...

Butta..your forbidden fruit is peanut butter..mine is those cursed sesame sticks ..fried, salt, nutty goodness..can't go within 15 feet of them or I'll scarf down the whole bag!!!

Oooooo..new forum! Thought I would hop in and say I have been in here just not posting as much I and almost 9 months out and down 130#..not a newbie, but I don't know if I would qualify as a veteran either ...but I thought I would come on in and have a seat!

Heck yeah...128# down and I fit into the smallest booth.(.which I avoided like the plague prior because I couldn't fit into the damned thing) TGIF had to offer...take THAT you cursed booth..how'd you like my fat arse now??! But of course ..it's not fat anymore!!!!! Thanks sleeve ...best decision I ever made!!!

Thanks!

Thanks! Am trying very hard! Time for a breathing treatment!

To get rid of this pneumonia! Fever for 4 days sucks!
