Dear Jeanette, OMG......you look amazing. My question is...did you have all your plastic surgery done the same day and how are your arms...are you happy....I really need mine done but so many are unhappy with the long scar....you can hardly see the scars from my RNY....but my arms are so saggy that is is even saggy below the elbow for me and I haven't lost near what you have....you are such a success....have you finally leveled off at 123...how tall are you......that seems so tiny but I am 5"6 and I'll never see 123 in my lifetime. You look wonderful. Hugs Karen 299- 166 - 149

Good morning! Well, I had plans to get up at 5:30 to do my exercise, but my son kept me up until 1 AM with girlfriend problems, so I'll do the exercise when I get home tonight. It's W-A-Y to hot to walk outside and it's supposed to get even hotter the next few days.... Here's my plan for today: B: didn't eat anything - upset stomach; still not feeling too great L: planning on Carb Countdown and Isopure protein powder shake D: Turkey burger with some cheese, broccoli and a peach for dessert Snacks: Happy Herb pretzels Power Crunch bar Unjury in lemonade Totals: Calories: 741 Carbs: 35 Protein: 93 I'm really hoping to get back on track. I've been naughty and I think that's why my tummy is upset.... Hugs, Nancy

Hey Nancy! Welcome back... How was your trip... Do you have power? It's hotter than the devil's playground in St. Louis!!! So far we've got power... I heard parts of New York was without... Have a fantastic and cool day!! Hugs! Denise

I saw your post the other day... and just now have a chance to write. Congratulations on the wedding! I wish you a lifetime of happiness together! I can't wait to see the pictures. Seeing your post prompted me to read your profile. I had NO IDEA that you've had the journey that you've had. A baby! That's fantastic! And a premie at that! I'm glad that she's doing well. You are a sensitive, kind and strong woman Teah, and I'm proud of how far you've come in your journey. You are right that it's not the number on the scale that tells the whole story. When I was around 225 lbs, I decided that even if I never lost another pound, i'd still be happy and thrilled with my results of the surgery. Taking joy in the things that we've been able to accomplish since and because of the surgery are things that are NOT the number on the scale. The joy TRULY IS in the journey... Irene
