Woo hoo!!! Congrats to you, Sarah. How exciting to fit into all that, huh/! We all lose differently, so I'll probably slow down soon, and you'll just stay at the steady pace, so don't let it all discourage you! But the way I figure, as much weight as we've lost, we should be happy. If I were to stop today, I can't complain, even short of my goals. CUz I never dreamed I'd be anywhere close to this weight (146lbs)! Keep it up!

Way to go. We had our surgery on the same day. I am still 35 pounds from goal - doc never gave me one. This morning was so weird. I got up and put on my clothes that I had planned to wear. They were too big - wore them a couple weeks ago. Measured my waist and had lost 4 inches since 08/28 (last time I weighed and measured). I could not believe I had a 33 inch waist. Yahoo. I now wear a large blouse and 14 pant. I still weigh 175 and am 5'3". I am not losing as fast as you but doing ok. I am glad to be there. Congratulations. Hugs, Sarah 266/175/140

I contacted the insurance director of my company and told him of my journey and asked him to help me. I also wrote a very personal letter describing how I felt daily and what this surgery could do for me and I included a picture of myself. With that and the Ins. director going to bat for me I was approved on the first appeal... just tell her to never give up. Those are people just working the system and pushing paper and this is her life that she is fighting for... there isn't anything more important.

I LOVE the new me!! Lisa 371/341/218/140

I certainly can relate. The last two weeks it's become worse with waking up around 1 or 1:30 am. It sure does make for a very long day! I've had this problem since surgery. The doctors don't really know what is the cause of it. But the more I read the more I wonder if it's not from the change in hormone level. Any ideas? Stephanie
