Update
Hello! I hope that everyone made it through the holidays in one piece. My weight loss has slowed WAY down and I am celebrating every ounce at this point! The inches keep coming off though, so I know that the pounds need to follow--RIGHT? Anyway, I am out of the 30's! BMI's that is! I am no longer considered OBESE! I am only OVERWEIGHT! How cool is that! I can also now COMFORTABLY wear size 12 jeans. I am so happy! I feel so good!
On another note....have any of you come across people in your life that change how they feel about your weight loss? Up until now, when I talked about how much weight I had lost or what size I was in now, my friends were so supportive and happy for me. Now that I am starting to get smaller than them, it is like the green eyed monster has come out. Now when I say something, they reply with stop bragging already. I am just so proud of my accomplishments.....and still a little bit bewildered.....that I want to share where I have been. I am going to upload a before pic to my profile so you should go and take a look. Not the same person at all.
Anyway--I am happy and of course I still want to lose some more weight, but I feel good and can keep up with the kids and have so much more energy. Now if I could just get the fat to leave other places besided the boobs.....

First of all, CONGRATULATIONS on your tremendous success so far! You have done wonderful. 
Secondly, I know just how you feel about the "green eyed monster." I've had people I t hought were friends make fun of me or say I've "changed" since the surgery. They teased about the way I walk and immitated me like I walk like I'm a snob. I said heck, if you shed nearly 100 pounds off your body, don't you think you'd walk a little different too not carrying all that around??? Bottom line, if you are fat and you go into work smiling, being silly and singing...that's okay, because that's what fat jolly people do. But, when you lose weight and are "thin" and walk into work doing the same thing, you are stuck up and full of yourself and think you are all that. It's ridiculous. I have found who my friends are and I'm happy to keep them. Don't let it get to you...you deserve to be proud of your accomplishments and its your time to shine!
