  I MADE IT!!!!!!!!

  It was actually yesterday, but when I got on the scale it said 198.5!!!! just the day before it still said 200. Then when I weighed this morning I was down that .5 lb. So now I am at 198!!!! I was tempted to take the first reading and stick with it, but I have a digital scale and I don't trust it to not lie to me, so I always take 3 readings and use the number that comes up the most. My first reading this morning was 197! I can't keep it, but I know I'll be there and past it in very short order!

  It took me forever to get from 202 to 198.5...I HATE plateaus!  But I know this is when I can get ready to go get new stuff to wear!!! I am about 1/2 way thru 16's now and getting ready to try 14's! I think I am way too tall to even think about trying for anything smaller then a size 10. so that is probly where I will plan to maintain. I am getting there! YAY!!!!!!!!!

  The other reason why size matters right now is Kimol and I went shopping last weekend, and we bought our gowns for our Valentine's Ball for our Bariatric support group! Mine is a 12, and hers is a 10! She is a little ahead of me, so this works really well!  I am sure we can both be into these sizes by then! These Gowns are GORGEOUS!!!!  I never had a prom, and my Husband and I eloped when we got married so this will be the first time I have EVER been in anything even remotely Formal!!!! I am very excited that this opportunity comes at exactly the one time in my life when I am actually enjoying playing with clothes rather then just dreading them, like before! I am going to make us both some thing to wear over our shoulders, either shawls or jackets, and I want a tiera to use in my hair! My gown is ice blue, and I want to accent it with white and silver!

  Another thing that this Surgery has done for me is, Allow me to make some AWESOME friends! I have Many friends on here! Kim, Pam, Vicki, Amelia, Cheri, Donna, Charlie, George, Tim And Everyone! I love you all! I have led a very lonely life until now, and now it is so full that it sometimes makes my head spin! Lol! I LOVE it!!

  In my Local support Group I have New friends too! I have So much fun spending time with these people! Kim (again!), and Shelly are my favorite people To hang with!!!! We can spend Every weekend together forever! Lol! Not really, you guys! Lol! but boy that would be a Blast!!! The fact that our Hubbies all get along great is a miricle in itself!!! That is just Craziness!

  My other piece of news is...I just got a job!!! I've been VERY bored for a long time, and needed something to fill in some time, The money doesn't hurt either, but it was the boredom, that actually drove me to putting in the application. I am now a Cashier at Walmart, No big shakes, but it will keep me busy and give me something new to think about for a while! Hubby said he was fine with my working, but if I want to "not work" that was fine with him too!. Now you know why I LOVE him! Lol!

  It's time for me to go get something constructive done around here, I hope everyone has as GREAT of a weekend as mine!
