My sister visited for the weekend from Tennessee. She is doing great with her WLS journey - so far she is down 167 lbs since December 3rd, 2007.

I am down to a size 11 and weighted in today at 160.02 lbs. WOW i CAN not believe how fast I have lost and I am still not very hungry. I want to loose at least 20 more lbs. Everyone tells me to stop now but I am not close to my personal goal. Now people are telling me I look so small. I think being overweight was some of my protection from feeling so small and weak. As I had stated before I was abused by my first husband because other men would look at me or talk to me  

 I am hoping my current DH of 26 years is above all of the jealously games and will know my heart still belongs to him.  I am within 5 lbs of what I weighted when we first met in October 1982. He acts like he is happy I have lost weight and look better but the real test will be when we go somewhere where the biker guys that have been our friends for years start ribbing him and flurting with me. Wish me luck.

Well I had heard what others said about weight stalling - I was the same weight of 162,5 lbs for a week and now I am at 161.5 lbs for the last two days. I thought the scale was stuck. This is very weird because never in my life has my weight ever been the same any day in a row - with swelling or water loss so this is different for me. I am losing inches though and am very happy about that. I have got to exercise. To firm up. Flabby Flabby. I guess from losing so fast. Funny little wrinkles. I am feeling better and less pain when I work in the yard but I get so so tired and have to take a nap later.

I can not believe I bought a size 15 junior jeans and they are a little too big. I am so proud. I need to update my pictures. My three granddaughters and one grandson came up for a small after Christmas party and could not believe how much I had changed just since my surgery in October. I need to exercise more of course. Need to build up my muscles and tighten up the bat wings.
