All of my pants are falling off and I refuse to buy any until after Christmas. All of my size 10's are too big. This is great but now I look all frumpy like I did before when I was trying to hide the fat rolls.LOL! Humor is the best medicine right? Hope everyone is having a great holiday season!

Congratulations!!!!

I bought a new belt yesterday.lol It's is helping with my jeans so I will have to go get some new dress slacks for work. Goodwill here I come.

You will do great! Calm down.....breath......LOL! Best advice I can give you is not to expect to wake up and be at your goal weight. This was something I did unknowingly so when I wasn't loosing as fast as everyone else I was really discouraged. Take your time to heal. I over did it the first week out. Pulled internal stitches hurt like H E double L and I have nerve damage now that may or may not heal over time so DO NOT OVER DO IT! I'm so very excited for you!

You are doing awesome! Great pics! I wish I had your confidence. I have had three kids and look like a road map. You look so great!

LOL! I know exactly what you mean. My boyfriend looked at me this morning and shook his head and said we gotta go shopping. You know if a man said that I should really go shopping.lol

I live in a college town so all the thrift stores around here think there stuff is new.lol I tell you what though...I think I'm scared of trying things on. I was always so disappointed before when things didn't fit. I just don't want to go through that anymore.

BTW... A really sweet friend of mine gave me a whole bag of beautiful blouses. Thank the lord for the nicest friends a girl could have.

Living life! I have the confidence to get rid of the people in my life that were holding me back. Quit a second job that I really didn't need so I can spend more time with my beautiful daughters. Life is good now. I really enjoy waking up everyday to see what the world is going to throw at me.

Here in Texas (I'm sure other states do too) we wear big blingy, shiny stuff. Well... I was always able to wear the rings and necklaces and stuff like that but was always too self-conscious to wear the belts. Well... my cloths are all falling off and I needed a belt.... I don't and haven't owned a belt in years.... like since the silver laced belt was in style (hope everyone knows what that is). So.... I'm in my room and I have a pair of pants on and every time I bend over or walk or do anything my pants were falling down around my hips and I was complaining about wishing Christmas would hurry up and get over so I could spend some money on some new cloths. Having two teenage daughters my money goes on them and not on me. Anyway,.... My 17 yr old daughter, who is a size 4, walks in and says "Here... Where my belt." I told her as I was putting it through the belt loops that there was no way in the world that her belt would ever fit me. Then it happen.... I buckled it on the second hole. The SECOND hole! I almost cried again. Now I'm going to go buy me a very pretty belt to wear. May even save me some money on jeans.

Beer.... Enough said.

Almost 4 months out and I have lost 70lbs.

Hey Sherry. Do you have your date yet? I will be 4 months out on the 4th of next month. I'm telling you this was the best decision I have ever made!

So wonderful!!! You are doing amazing! food kinda still controls me though...just in a different kind of way.. I have to eat healthy ... but to me it seems like such a hassle to eat at all. You see, because I'm never hungry (not even cravings) I tend to forget to eat. I have a friend that has the same problem so we are working together to make ourselves eat now.lol Sounds kind of strange after eating away 10 yrs of my life .... but I will take this over that any day.
