Yes, It does wonders for our self esteem.
I know what you mean about thighs..they are my problem area UGH!!! I wear the pedal pusher link girdle/ body shaper ALL the time under my pants and that is probably the ONLY reason I can get into a 6.
Congrats on you progress too!!!

Wow Jeannie, those are truly WOW moments!!! How awesome is that. I had the co-worker situation happen to me also. It's amazing what that does for your self esteem, huh?
As far as the size 6, you go girl.....whoo hoo! Unbelievable. I can't imagine. I'm similar in size to you. I'm almost 5'8" and 170, but I can't get my legs through anything smaller than a 10. CoNgRaTuLaTiOnS!!!

I am doing well. I am holding at 175 and want to try and do that till the end of January. I am 5'7 and at 175 look and feel great. My surgeon says I will have 10-12 lbs of skin to remove with platics so I thin****il I get my consult for ps I am going to work at maintaining between 170-175. I do not want to look stick thin.
My WOW Monent
I went to Houston and stopped in where I used to work. I walked back into the office area (all glass walls) I waved to the sales team, 2 smiled big and came out into the hall and were visiting with me. 1 sat in his office and just kept staring (started to hurt my feeling since I had known him the longest) finally after 5 minutes one of the others went and asked if he even knew who it was, he had no clue and when they told him he got this funny look and said NO F@#$#@ Way! ~ since he never curses everyone laughed over that. Then I went into the tech team area and another friend was on phone I waved he waved me in said can I help you. I asked if he didn't remember me. He said he knew the voice, then told his friend on phone he had to go. He said OMG Jeannie WOW. I visited with everyone and it was nice to see the suprised looks on their face and how nice they all were.
My OMG Moment
We stopped at Academy to look at some stuff and they were having a sale on LEE jeans. I got a size 10...too loose, Got a size 8... loose but comfy and plenty of room. OMG no way would I EVER dream of it... GOT A SIZE 6 and they fit... a little snug but comfortable. OMG I about had a heart attack!!! I am going this Friday after payday and getting a few pair. I can not believe it at all.
Want to thanks everyone participating in the card exchange!!! We had a really goot turn out for only having a week to sign up!
Take care
Jeannie

WAY TO GO GREG,
I PERSONALLY FIGURE ILL NEVER SEE ONDERLAND. AT 6'3" BEING A FORMER NCAA ATHLETE I HOPE THAT THE BASE OF MASS I BUILT YEARS AGO IS STILL UNDERNEATH. RIGHT NOW AT 245 IM WEARING A SIZE LARGE SHIRT AND 40" WAIST PANTS(A FAR CRY FROM THE 72'S I WAS IN 9 MONTHS AGO) I FIGURE ILL END UP AROUND 230 WHICH IS FINE FOR ME. SO YOU CAN SET UP CAMP IN ONDERLAND AND ILL BE ON JUST THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CITYLINE.

Topic: Joined a gym
Well, I did it...joined a gym this evening. I hope this will help me get focused on working out. I also purchased 6 visits with a trainer. Those gym salesmen are like car salesmen though, the guy talked me into a contract, even though I was so sure I wouldn't sign one. It has 3 pools, tennis courts, racquetball courts and all the exercise equipment needed.
I've belonged to gyms before but I never went for very long. I think this time it will be different. I don't feel so self-conscious about exercising in front of others.
good luck everyone,
