-89lbs so FAR more to come off soon!

Funny you should ask this question as it is the only real way this entire experience tells me I've lost weight. When I look in the mirror I never saw a fat unhealthy person nor do I look in the mirror now and see a thinner healthier person. I see Donna. Always have. BUT I know I've lost weight because the size of my clothes!!! I started at 248lbs and today weight 160lbs. I am 5'4" and went from size 26 to an 8/10. Bra went from a 46DD to a 38DD so far. I've been a slow but steady looser the entire journey and my weight loss has not stopped. I"m scheduled for my tummy tuck on Feb 17 and the doc says that will take 10-12lbs off and 1 to 2 sizes more down. We'll wait and see.

I cant belive how far you have come do u remember when we first meet and I asked if we could be pals how loooong ago it seems

First of all you look great! I too have been very open about my surgery. It bothers me when some people ask me and I usually change the subject. The funny thing is that the people who I would tell, don't ask, they have more manners than that! My biggest pet peeves are like Stacey said the comments about "Skinny Minnie" or better yet, my personal favorite "Bone Bag". And I really love, "you are going to shrivel up and blow away", it amazes me how many different people have used that one. What?!? No, WTF?!? Who says these things to people, do they leave their brains at home somedays? But I balance those with the highlights, like my 8 year old hugging me around my waist and saying "Mom, you are so hard", his little buddy telling me that I look beautiful and another one asking me if I got taller. Leave it to the 8 year old boys to say the right things and have more common sense than adults. Becki 1/18/05 297/126 5'8"

RHONDA good for you
