Long we are weight soul mates.. I started at 305 also and guess what I am 5' 9"!!! Pretty funny!!!!!! Congrats girl!

Me too!!! Mine was on sale at Kohls for $69.99 plus I got a $10 coupon to go back since I spent $50. you didn't get the red one at Kohls did you? LOL

LOL! I had the same long debate too on whether or not I should squeeze into the Large vs. XL! I instead chose the less expensive jacket just in case I need that Large before the end of the season.

Too funny!! then can I ask what you set your goal weight as and how you came up with it? Mine is to get me a BMI that is 'normal' and not overweight, and that is 169 however, my surgeon said anything below 180 is good.

Hey there... I am shooting for 176 which is what I weighed after I had my two girls and I felt awesome.. I guess anywhere between 165- 185 is where I am shooting for. At 165 I am skin and bones... Today I am 228 I have to update my ticker. My hubby weighs 227 and it frustrates me to no end!!! I am hoping by sunday to weigh less than him..lol..

Same here, Allie! I am one pound heavier than my guy and can't wait to weigh less than he does. He's so sweet, took me to the store to get a pair of blue jeans tonite since I don't have any 16's. I tried on several styles and settled for a petite 16 that I wont have to hem up. Then just for kicks, I grabbed a pair of the same kind in 14 and Holy Cow!!!! They fit very nicely, not tight enough to cut off circulation. a 14!!! I was stunned. I musta told him Honey, these are 14's about 6 times. He just said yep and grinned at me. I still cant believe it. I feel sexy!!! Well, until I see the belly I still got. But its going! Wow am I jazzed!!!:thumbup: Can't remember when I last wore 14's. Probably back in college. Lets lose that one more pound, it will be such a milestone! Let me know when you get there.:smile2:

I just passed hubby and it felt so good. He's 6'6 and 235, so I am officially lighter than him. It feels so good to know that.

Allie, sounds like we are shooting for close to the same goal. It's been forever so I am not exactly sure where I want to be. But figure I'll know when I get in that ball park.

Strike.. congrats on the 14's woo hoo! I am trying not to weigh myself everyday.. I seem to have gotten compulsive with it. Go figure.. me compulsive..lol. So instead of weighing myself 30 times a day, I am trying to weigh every 3 days. My family was getting worried about how obsessed I was. If I ate anything I would run up and weigh in. Bahh.. I know it's crazy. Then if it went up even a smidgen I was depressed. So my compulsive eating has merged to compulsive weighing. I have to find something else. I used to smoke of course compulsively.. 2-3 packs a day! My father passed from lung cancer and it was a wake up call for me so I quit cold turkey... and gained 130 pounds.. nice. Why can't I just be normal (I guess there is no normal). Wow that was some rambling..lol..

Long congrats on being less than hubby!!!! My man is 6' but he's a body builder so he carry's most of his weight in his chest and arms. mmmmm.. sorry i was thinking about last night.. I love being thinner.. being able to do things in different ways (blushing) is so friggin awesome!!!!!

I hope you all have a great weekend!

Long ~ Too funny, I did get mine at Kohls! Not the red one though, red is not my color. After a long debate with myself on the color, I chose a brown short double-breasted, belted trench. Could be worn Spring or Fall. Mine was half off for only $50 and I got the $10 coupon too. I actually worked at Kohl's for about a year in the Jewelry dept. for a second job. Just quit a few months back, because it was conflicting with all the extra hours I put in with my "real" job.

Finally.... Hit 50# today. Banded on june 11. Have 4cc in 10cc band. Got stuck for the first time last week. I read on this forum to try pineapple juice, something about the acid and getting un stuck.. Got a get some. Good luck to all.

hey there.. also try papaya enzymes.. you can get them from GNC they are chewable and taste pretty good.. i think it's like 2.99 for 50.. they really help when stuck. I try not to use them because I found that I was using them to overeat things.. bahhhh.. so when i get stuck I have been forcing myself to deal with it so that I learn to not overeat or eat to quickly.. but the enzymes do work.!!

Congratulations on hitting 50 pounds, that is great! Hopefully I will hit that in the next few weeks. What a great milestone that will be.

Congrats on the 50# milestone. I bet you feel wonderful. Hate getting stuck. It's only happened twice and HURT for about an hour. I have never taken anything to get unstuck. I just ride it out. It's a great reminder to chew and eat slowly:blush:

My daily news for today!!! I'm on my way home from the best vacation I've ever had!!! I spent a week in Key West and after losing almost 70 pounds I can finally do activities with my family. I went sailing on a catamaran, rented wave runners, and the best part...I went parasailing. That's right I had my fat butt hanging in the air up 300' and it was awesome. I never would've done that 4 months ago. Life is changing so fast and so am I. This is incredible! I love my band!! Its true what they say about my new birthday, June 9, 2008, I finally started living again!
