Now Mrs. Bell and LOSING a lot of lbs and inches

Ok, For anyone that forgot or didn't realize---I got married last Saturday! Hence, my name on here (FutureMissesBell25). I changed it to MrsBell25. Anyway, it was awesome! I am now waiting for my brother in law to get the photos up! I am excited about showing them off.  I am also happy to announce that June 6, 2007 I was a size 16/18 and today I put my 12's on and they were falling off me. I love the way I am looking now but hate that I can't buy clothes because they will fit for a very short time then I am spending more money later on clothes. BUT I do have clothes still from when I was smaller--so that is good that I never threw them out. HA. My 5 year old son, Noah, went with me to my 1 month follow up appointment Monday and bless his little heart..he got all excited when the doctor wanted to see how my incisions were looking, so I lifted up my shirt to show her and Noah goes, "MY MOMMY'S TUMMY is getting SO MUCH smaller!"  He tells me now, "mommy you are the prettiest mommy in the whole world"  Awwwwwwwwww. So sweet. Although that is very sweet, I want to teach him too that looks aren't everything--and someone can be pretty inside. He's just too young to understand what I mean yet. But none the less, he is very excited about "having 2 daddies" now. He tells everyone, "I have a step-dad, Dave, and a real dad, Matthew." He also has a step-sister, Zoie.  It's very cool. He was the ringbearer in our wedding and Zoie was the flowergirl. As we went to walk down the isle to walk out of the church, I looked over at her and she was just crying her little eyes out. So, you know what happened next..I wound up crying too..LOL. Anyway, just wanted to update you all (for those who care). :) Love, Cheryl

Cheryl, Congratulations!! Talk about happy life changes ! Way to go on that losing weight thing! Beca

Hi Beca- Thank You for your reply. I guess it's normal to bounce from 1 lbs up to 1 lbs down? Have you had that yet? How much have you lost since your surgery? Just tryin to see if I am on track here. Thanks, Cheryl

Oh Girl it sounds like you had a beautiful wedding day!!! I can't wait to see pics of it!!!!!!! Your son and step daughter sound like they were real cuties!!! And a big ole CONGRATS on the weight loss!!!! Your are doing really good!!!! Hope to hear from you soon..Take care..God bless.. Luv and Hugs..Tammy~ammy

Hey Tammy, Yes, it was small but beautiful. You met my son before so just imagine him in a tux with his hair styled. Yes, he was definately getting lots of flirting from the girls. Zoie was very cute too. She looked too grown up that day. LOL. I tell you what's weird----is I am getting littler big time...but the tape measure shows I'm not. Isn't that weird? Anyway, thanks for replying. Cheryl

Cheryl, Oh, yeah I've bounced up and down between 1 lb. before.    This time (as opposed to all "diets" in the past) I am not weighing myself every day-----just once in  awhile.     I have lost about 40 lbs.   but don't go by me.....everyone has different body metabolism, etc.      I am sure that you are on track!   Sounds like you are doing just great. Have a great day, Beca
