Bingo! I weigh once a week, on Wednesday and have and only one week where I didn't drop something. Yes, I count 1/2 lb as loss but apparently if it isnt more than 20 a week it's a stall. Lol

I had reflux terribly before my revision from band to rny. I never had it prior to the band or once it was out. Heartburn and reflux both were a cause and effect of band life for me. I am almost a year out from the rrvision and feel fantastic!!

Adorable!! Where a cute pair of heels and you will be rocken' thos jeans!!

Yay!!! I am so proud of you!! Our surgaversary is the same day. It is amazing what you've achieved. Kudos!!! Wogging... I love it!! Congrats and good luck!

I tell people all the time that at 267 5'2" I was all fat. Big bones didn't play a role. So at 5'2" 138 lbs how would they now? Girl, do your thing and let them wonder. I've fantasized about telling people I lost my weight from lipozene or some other stupid reason just because im sick of the questions. I'm more than my weight and so are u.

Hw 267 Sw 230 Lw 143.5 Cw 141 2.5 lbs this week yay!! 130s here I come. Bought a size 2/4 dress today.... IT FREAKEN FIT!

Wow that is phenomenal!!! Gosh I'm so excited for you. Mmmm philly cheesesteak how I miss u.....

I'm a junie but want to agree with Dorian! I am so proud of you Obeasta for sharing your true feelings and reaching out for support. If that isn't mental stabiliry what is? Babies are a treasure. Having never been able to conceive and always wanting to be a mom more than anything, don't throw your gift away. There is always adoption to consider. My two siblings are adopted and I adore them. There are so many people who would love to have a child and can't so please consider that option too. I again am very proud of you for reaching out to your friends. Prayers being sent up for you that you get peace whatever you decide.

I am between a french or a pretty pink. My nails are pretty short do you think a french would work? I am going to do gel shellac. Nails are crap now so what can it hurt? [ATTACH]43556[/ATTACH]

Thank you! I'm so excited for this new chapter in my life. I'm going to treat myself to a gel manicure this weekend. I've never had one before and have short nails. Anyone get them? They look pretty and last a couple week's.

Well, I got the job!!! Having had such a rough three months, getting the call with the offer today really made my day. I am 100% sure my newfound confidence is from the weight loss. I finally feel like ny outside matches my inside. I have always been a positive person but now I have confidence too.

My husband gives me mine. It doesn't hurt at all. Just tell him not to flinch or pull back. The first time ny hubby did it he hesitated just as he was putting the needle in and the needle bent and that sucked. Now, I just have him jab it in and push the syringe slowly. There are a ton of you tube videos if you are unsure how to do it. Luckily my bff is a nurse so she showed us both how.

I think 10 lbs a month is fantastic! I'm a band to bypass revision too and was lucky to get 7lbs a month in the beginning. But guess what? Im almost a year out (june) and close to goal. It all adds up and by january of next year you'll be amazed.

To piggy back yocolefleets post, I interviewed last week for a position at Mayo Clinic doing something completely different than what I've done for the last 20 years of my career. I am excited, nervous and really proud of myself for taking the chance. A year ago, I wouldn't have had the confidence to make a move like this. I made it to the second round of interviews on Friday meeting with the physicians associated with this particular program and they all went well. In fact two of the doctors said, "I look forward to working with you". I should find out next week or the following. If I don't get the job, I am still happy because I made the step. I'm very comfortable in my current role and trying for something so different is very exciting! So YoColeFleet, we are sisters in recognizing our inner strength and following dreams. P.s. I just love your short hair! it is so cute on you. Very Halley Berry.

Congratulations! Following our dreams is so important. You look gorgeous but more importantly you look happy. I'm thrilled for you!

My dresses from landsend came intoday. I had ordered 3. 2 in small and 1 in medium. Good news is the small fit!!! Bad news is the one in nedium was my favorite.

I still have at least 20 to lose for my personal goal.

I will be cheering you on virtually! I'm so proud of you!!

Wowzers!!! You look great!!!!

Very smart on the suit!! I too live at the beach and spend a lot of time outdoors. This is going to be the first summer for me since my 20s where I feel comfortable being out there. I won't go in the water until June (I'm a cold water weenie, even in fl) but I sat out there yesterday and read my book and it was wobderful.

Terry I can't tell u how happy this makes me!! Im an 8 petite now too and jyst ordered 3 dresses from landsend last night in small petite (6-8). I was nervous but now I have hope. I bought a new suit yesterday for an interview on tuesday from ann klein in 8 petite and still can't get over it fits!!!

First off you look amazing!!! It will happen you know it will. Calm down work the program and you'll get there. Ny dr reminded me last week that rny patients can lose most effectively between 12-18 months. Girl, we're not even to 12 months yet. I have 20 more I want to lose. I was saying by june and that just isnt realistic. Ive adjusted it to february ( yes you read that right) of 2015. I will be 43 in february and I thought hittibg ny goal of 120 to 125 by then is realistic and doable. If I get to goal before then great, if not im just going to work. Maintenance here we come!!! P.s. that suit is so cute! I just bought obe from landsend last week too but not nearly as cute.

Oh and I am thrilled with my rny. I live how I feel and look. It was the best gift I've ever given myself.
