Is there a clothing exchange anytime soon? I have one pair of jeans that fit me, and one pair of shorts. I'd be happy to pass on clothes that are too big for me if I could get some 18s-XL.
I would do it all over again in a heartbeat, I could not be happier. I went from 258 pounds to a maintained weight of 125. I went from a size 22/24 to a size 4, I can even wear a size 5 in juniors! I can wear a bikini!!!! ( and there are some of those pics on my profile)
And the best result ever...... I am 8 month pregnant! Never thought that would happen!!!!
I just had to share!!!!

the something that I can do.

START OVER!
If you've started out in pursuit of your goal
And you've really tried with your heart and your soul,
but somehow things got out of control ---
START OVER.
When you've tried your best to do what you should
And you thought this time that you surely would,
But once again, you didn't do good ---
START OVER.
When you've worked so hard to follow a dieter's way
And you fought to win a victory each day
But one more time you went astray ---
START OVER.
When you've tried so hard to yourself to be true
And do the things that you know you should do
But once again you failed to come through ---
START OVER.
When the road to success seemed much too long
And each temptation was oh so strong
And once again you gave in to wrong ---
START OVER.
When you've told your friends what you planned to do
And trusted them to help you through
But soon discovered it's up to you ---
START OVER.
When you know you must be physically fit,
But your hope seems gone and you're stuck in a pit
That's not the time for you to quit ---
START OVER.
When the week seems long and successes few
And at weigh-in time you're feeling blue
Remember tomorrow is just for you ---
START OVER.
To start again means a victory's been won
And starting over again means a race well run
And starting over again proves it can be done
So don't just sit there ---
START OVER.

Embrace your challenges!

Glad you are doing so well Terry. I was only going to look at the panni removal and maybe breast reduction and lifted back into place, but you sound like you are so pleased, I may just think again! Keep us informed on how it goes. I love to hear good things.

THank you for letting me know your journey. I was not going to do this but have decided that I have come so far and must see it thru even more. I hope that I make progress like you and Tracy have. You both inspire me.
May God bless you and keep you strong!

Hope everyone is doing well!
It has been a long time since I have posted! I sure do miss my OH friends and family!
Alot has changed, so far a short update - I am no longer with KFC, after the loss of my mother I went through a medical leave of absence and went through an intensive outpatient counseling ! It helped me so much, not only for the grief counseling but issues that were underlying from my childhood, as well! Returned to KFC but realized it was alot of stress and looked for other things! So lucky to say that I am now an inhome caregiver through a local company here in Indy! It is a totally different change of path for me, and I absolutely LOVE it, it is so rewarding for me!
Also I am now the youth director for our church, (where we had some of the clothing exchanges)! So I have been blessed by many changes lately and things are working out!
I hope to hear from my OH family how you all have been and hope to catch up, and get to know the new faces of OH family that has joined both with surgeries already or just starting their journies!!!!
