Amy, OMG you are beautiful!!!!!! You need to update your headshot too! You have a lovely family! Terri

Argh! I have been bouncing from 235-240 for the past 2 months! It's driving me utterly bonkers, I tell you. I was 241 on Friday.....This morning...236 and I had a bad weekend....a lot of grazing due to a Halloween party we had and my inability to behave, I guess. And I have been exercising! worked my butt off all week getting my friends house cleaned and decorated (shes pregnant, and did way more then she should have, anyway). I jogged last week on weds....nearly died from that on thursday when my legs (shins to thighs) woke me up...might I add that I didn't even think there were muscles in your shins? lol....I know better now . We went to the park yesterday and spent 1 hour climbing rocks in the stream with the dog.... Again, Argh. Hopefully this will break soon! Thanks for letting me vent . Genny 358/235-40/160

Of course you are not alone--we are right there with you---I think we hit these together alot--which helps--mentally anyway---cause we know that scale will move again---I just finished an almost 2 week stent at the same weight---and yes--i got really down(whats new) but then lost two lbs over the weekend--so I hope it has started up again! We can all keep it going----! BEst wishes! Lisa

Hi Donna!! You and I are almost surgery sisters!! My surgery was on the 15th!! Ive slowed my weight loss down alot too but hey , if its 5 or 6 lbs a month down and not up.. I will take it!! I have been dropping 2 lbs and then those 2 will go up and down for around a week..then the scale will steady for a couple of days and then I usually drop another 2..Seems to be the way its been going the last couple months!! It will start dropping off again!! Your funs not over yet!! Congrats on what you have accomplished so far!!! Patti

Hi Patty.... It is funny how easy it is to forget we've lost weight. I manage a Big and Tall clothing store and a lady came in the other day to get a sweater. She looked to be about 300 lbs or close to my pre-surgery weight. She didn't want to try it on and me not thinking I said " well 3x should fit you because thats the size I would buy" and I held it up to me..... She looked at me like I was crazy and said "you are not even close to my size and you would wear a 3x?" Then I realized I had stuck my foot in my mouth because I sometimes forget I'm smaller now. I felt so dumb. Congratulations on your weight loss. This surgery is so awesome! Scarlette
