Topic: RE: Time to Weigh In
We're darn close in surgery date, weight and size. May I ask how tall you are? I'm 5'3. Current weight 185. I know why I'm not wearing smaller sizes. I have rolls of skin. Ick!! I can squeeze into smaller but the skin hangs over the tops of my jeans. Luckily, my breast are about the same size. I went from a D/DD to a C/D. My tops will almost always be a large. Cheers, Torrey (281/185/160)

Ashley, No way are you doing bad... 84 lbs is awesome. Everyone, on here is losing at different rates.... Upping the water & protein is a great idea, not to mention, it's soooo healthy for you. Let us know how you do. Your surgeon is happy with your success, you should be too... Celebrate girl...you deserve it... Tammy

Hi Kim, I lost tons of hair starting in October straight through to April...so it was quite a while. I had to clean the drain in the tub so the water would go down daily after my shower. My hairdresser commented the last time i went in "Yeah, your hair has stopped falling out".... it is starting to come back in. Kind of fly away-ish right now, but i use mouse & anti frizz & it seems to work. I didn't use any kind of special products cuz i figured it was going to run it's course anyway. The good thing is, I didn't go bald... hahahaha.... I use herbal essence hydrating shampoo & conditioner & it looks pretty good.. Hang in there.....it'll come back in. Tammy

Hey Eileen, Thanks for posting this! It is fun to look back and see the milestone we have all had and the success we've made!! I've been really down on myself lately, so this helps to put it all in perspective! Thanks again! Surgery date weight (8/3/05): 293 Weight today: 195.5 (just 2.5 pounds to century club) Total loose as of today: -97.5 pounds Beginning BMI: 55.4 BMI today: 36.9 (amazing) Clothes size one year ago: 30/32W in bottoms and snug 3x and 4x in tops Unddies 1 year ago: Bra 46B Unddies: Size 14 Clothes size today: misses size 18 in pants and some misses 16. Tops some Med to large...Xlrg is too big now (Wow!) Unddies Today: Bra 38C, Unddies (are you ready?) size 9 I am amazed that at the new sizes, I just bought size 9 unddies this weekend and thought I would need a few weeks to actually fit in them, but NO, they totally fit and the next size I buy will be from the regular size rack, not the just my size rack. Again, Eileen, thanks so much for posting this. It has really lifted my spirits by looking back to where I was and seeing the tremendous changes today. I really needed this boost in my spirit!!!

Topic: I Love You All.........Hey there!!!
Hi Everyone.... So sorry I haven't been on here... Thank you to all for your concern. I love you alll............. PHEW.....what a whirlwind week I've had.... The wedding was absolutely beautiful. The party was nonstop from Friday to Sunday. Two of my girls went home with my sister for the week & her daughter is here for the week.... I've been frantically trying to get my work done, plus the mandatory 12 hrs of overtime per week that we have implemented at this time. Yesterday, I had to go into my office for some meetings, so needless to say it was quite the day. Today, I got on to work at 6:30 & am going to work straight through until 6:30 tonight, then have a 7 pm support group meeting.... Obviously, I haven't exercised routinely (besides the running around & the 3 hrs of dancing on Saturday)... I've been hovering around 182 like I thought I would. It's all good cuz I looked HOT...HOT...HOT... at the wedding... Ok, a little self confidence just came through hahahahaha. I added some pics to my profile.... Check them out if you'd like... I haven't gotten my blood test results as of yet or the results of my re-pap so I'm guessing they all came back fine. This weekend I'll be going up to Massena to pick the girls up & bring my niece home. Then next weekend we travel to Maryland to be with my sister after her 8/15 surgery. Wow, I can't believe my 1 year is coming up on Tuesday......WOW .... This year has been AMAZING... I'm sure I'll post more on the actual date... At any rate girls....I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH & I've missed you. Been trying to catch up on posts. I promise I will.... & I will post daily........... Thanks again for your concern & sorry I had you worried.... ((((((((HUGS)))))))) & Tammy
