ROLL CALL, This is my fist time so please come out.

Good day, I have been busy this weekend but I am back baby! I cut my hair last night and colored it, it has changed my looks so much I almost don't know the person looking back at me. 1.) Now that you are losing weight do you like what you see, looking back at you? 2.) Can you see the changes in yourself? 3.) Are you going to give yourself a gift when you hit your "goal weight"? ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~**~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ 1.) Sometimes, I think wow I have nice eyes, but I still have a lot of weight that needs to go. 2.) Yes and no, I know that is a crazy answer but I see my rings falling off but my fingers still look fat to me. I think sometimes, wow, your losing things in your face but other times I think boy my face is fat. LOL I am crazy huh 3.) Heck yes, new rings, new clothes, and a trip (with out DH, just for me), and I hope a new car. LOL I am worth it! OK, your turn PLEASE POST Melissa

Morning Melissa! Good job with the Roll Call!! 1.) Now that you are losing weight do you like what you see, looking back at you? *** I actually do! It took me long enough to like myself, now I'm happy I can just be me and not worry about being the fattest person in the room! I actually feel a bit normal! 2.) Can you see the changes in yourself? *** I can see them now. Before my Four Month Surgiversary, I couldn't tell you I could see a difference cuz I couldn't! It was like an overnight transformation for me, weird... but I can see the difference in my face, my eyes, my shoulder line- no more linebacker shoulders for me! Whoo hooo! BUT of course, I still wanna see more changes in my overhang Its still there! 3.) Are you going to give yourself a gift when you hit your "goal weight"? *** This is like asking the child in a candy shop which candy do you want? ALL OF IT BABY! I'm planning on getting my belly button pierced, a cute tattoo, hot clothes and shoes, make over... omg so much to chose from! he he he... but that's another year away and things can change between now and then Jaci

1.) Now that you are losing weight do you like what you see, looking back at you? I love it!!!! I stop and look at myself all the time. I am so vain, but the thing is, I feel I used to be more vain before the surgery cause being heavy I wanted to try and look as put together as possible 24/7. But now I think - hmmm well my hairs a mess, okay. and keep going . But basically I would be in the mirror all day long if I could. 2.) Can you see the changes in yourself? I feel like half the woman I was!!! NOTE~~~ Physically but not mentally 3.) Are you going to give yourself a gift when you hit your "goal weight"? new boobs, new tummy, new tattoo, and a belly button ring!!! Dana

It seems that tats a a popular choice...we should find something we all LOVE that sybolizes our journey and get them done together in Vegas. It would forever link us together. Dawn

1.) Now that you are losing weight do you like what you see, looking back at you? More and more every day. I love putting on a pair of pants I wore only a week earlier and they fit different 2.) Can you see the changes in yourself? Yes..I can see my collar bones now and feel my hip bones. Emotionally I have an increased level of self esteem. I walk into rooms with my head high now. 3.) Are you going to give yourself a gift when you hit your "goal weight"? I plan on getting a bracelet when I loose 100#. Once I hit goal, I am getting my belly button pierced and "maybe" a tattoo on my shoulder blade or hip (someplace private). Dawn

1.) Now that you are losing weight do you like what you see, looking back at you? I like what I see a lot better than 4 months ago...but I do not LOVE what I see...yet. 2.) Can you see the changes in yourself? Yes, I can. I know I get frustrated at times, but I do rejoice in the changes I see. Even the changes in things you *can't* see...like my confidence level. 3.) Are you going to give yourself a gift when you hit your "goal weight"? Oh, hell yes. Some new ta-ta's. ;) I am SOOOO going to need them when all this is said and done!

Hey Melissa 1)Now that you are losing weight do you like what you see, looking back at you? I love what I see. Everytime I look in a mirror, I get so proud of myself. 2.) Can you see the changes in yourself? When I look in the mirror, I don't see a 144 lb. weight loss but I do see that I'm changing. When I look at pictures I think, WOW, I'm getting smaller. 3.) Are you going to give yourself a gift when you hit your "goal weight"? YEP! I'm going on a cruise. Have a nice day Kay

Hi Melissa!!! Here these are my answers: 1.) Now that you are losing weight do you like what you see, looking back at you? I like what I see. But It is not enough!!! I set my goal and I am not going to feel happy until I get it!!!. My children and wife are complimenting me a lot because of the change. (I see them just once a week). One of my all time life friend told me last week that he recognizes now the old me with the look I have today. (We weren't meet for 15 years). 2.) Can you see the changes in yourself? Yes I can!!! I feel almost normal now. I can run, I can work, I don't sweat, I fit in every tiny place. I wore the jeans I bought in our Honey Moon last week end. They fitted; very stretch though, but they fitted. It is a matter of weeks in which I am going to hit one of my mini goals: to be the same size 15 years ago when we got married. 3.) Are you going to give yourself a gift when you hit your "goal weight"? I don't think so. For me it is enough reward to have my personality, self esteem, my slim body and my life back. I can't express the excitement within me that I feel when I look at the mirror and check it out how much progress I have made. Another reward is going to be the fact of not needing any Plastic Surgery. So far with 80 pounds off my skin is doing awesome!!! no hanging flesh in arms, thighs or belly (or the butt)!!!! I hope, I hope, I hope not to need PS!!!!. Alejandro from Guadalajara Mexico

Good afternoon Melissa! 1.) Now that you are losing weight do you like what you see, looking back at you? absolutely! I am so happy with the way I am going back to what I used to be. It makes me feel so good, and my self esteem is getting much better. I still see all the fatness, but I know I look so much better now than i did three months ago, and it will only get better! 2.) Can you see the changes in yourself? I see that I have more confidence in the way I walk and initiating conversations, I never would have done that before. I am also more affectionate towards my hubby, and am more anxious to achiee my goals. 3.) Are you going to give yourself a gift when you hit your "goal weight"? I havent really thought about it, but hopefully it will be a trip to Vegas in January karyn

1. Dressed or undressed? Dressed I love what I see, undressed, not so much. 2. I do see the changes in myself and that is good. 3. No, I don't think I will give myself a gift when I reach goal. Each day that I feel good about myself is gift enough. Hazel
