Hola Chickies!

What a fantastic day I've had!!!!

Midnight and I spent the whole day together. She LOVES car rides. (Midnight is my pomeranian) My morning started off with my appointment up in Modesto with Dr. Coirin's PA Dianne. She said she was so happy for me and that I had made her day with how well I'm doing. I've lost 84 pounds since surgery and 95 in total since December 20, 2005. I guess I'm #2 for the record at three months. Another lady lost 96

pounds for her three month check up- she was also working out 6 days a week, wow! She was super happy about my labs and blood pressure too, I guess they're back to normal and stabilizing

After my appointment, I went to the mall to celebrate. Well not really lol, I had to get new pants for work, they were falling off!

So, went to Lane Bryant in the mall and couldn't find any Average size 26s in the black pants I needed! I know, crazy! They had 28-32 and 24-12s, NO 26s... 26 tall and 26 petite- but only one each in the color I needed, black. I really wanted to try on the cute spring stuff so I grabbed handfuls of clothes- the associates just stared hehehehe. In the fitting room, the sleeveless shirts were too big in the arm hole!!!!!! Whooo hooo lol Although there was this gorgeous black lace and cream madarin inspired shirt I was in love with, maybe next month in a size 24 eh? lol Well back to my story- I get in the room and EVERY pair of pants fit! Some tooooo big! Whoa! What a feeling. I then got back to reality and decided to try the 26 petite and tall. The Tall was horribly long (I'm 5'10" so you would think they'd fit lol) They didn't work out. Then I tried on the petites. OMG, they fit! I ended up buying them

I also got a cute graphic tee and regular tee with lace on the bottom. Anyone else grab up the sales at LB this weekend?????? I have heard so much about a store called Torrid. I guess its part of Hot Topic. I walked in and saw 1, 2, 3, 4... um, what does that mean??? The associate told me they were sizes! I guess my face dropped cuz she told me 14-16 was a size 1, 18/20 2, 22/24 3 and 26 4. Amazing, I could be a size 4!

I grabbed some pants and tried them on too! They fit!!! Just too pricey for me right now, bu****ch out I'll be back lol. I also turned in an application, anything to help my growing clothes addiction

The clothes are a bit ecentric, but I can make em work

I told you this was a long day! On the way home, I got new shoes to work out in to go with my new top, I'm going to be so cute tomorrow!

Then stopped at GNC and picked up more B12 and say the Isopure Ronna raves about. They have a sale right now, buy 5 get one free... I bought one to try, we'll see what happens. I also got some more protein drinks to see if I like em. I seem to do better if its premade instead of mixing it myself

My total was like 35 bucks, but if you purchase the first 7 days on the month and have their gold card, you get and additional 20% off! That's on sale items too!!! I cam home with a bag full of yummies for only $22!!!! Now I'm home to crash! I just checked my bunnies and two does (female rabbits) had their litters!!!!! One had four and one had five. Today has been an awesome day, I hope you guys are having one too, or at least have one soon. Thanks for sticking to this post and reading it until I was done lol. Love you all! (hehe, stole it from Amber

I don't really know.... I asked Dianne about the loss and she said I had booku to lose and was tall, so my BMI wasn't that high, but in reality if I was shorter it'd probably be through the roof. I was seven pounds away from the Big 4 double 0! 400! I am actually kinda scared about it coming off so fast, but am very happy with it

I was feeling so left out when everyone was having such great wow moments a few weeks out of surgery.... but I've come to realize, those only have to lose maybe 100 pounds, I'm double! So I'm experiencing my wow moments and loving every day!!!!!!!!!!! Oh... I can wear your jeans now!!!!!! They're actually a bit big!!!!
