- I haven't been on here in forever, probably a couple years now! But I am excited to see several people from my surgery year still here and very active!My surgery was in November of 2010, and I'm doing very well! I did gain back about 25-30 of the...
- A year ago I did the best thing for my life and my health! This year has flown by, and I look like a totally different person. I've been stable for the past couple months at 98 pounds gone. I was sure hoping for an even 100 by my one-year mark, but...
- My parents left yesterday after a week-long visit. I can sure see where I got my sweet tooth from, and I've let myself go back into bad habits! Although I didn't go as crazy as I would have in the past, I still shared dessert with them a couple...
- In my profile you'll see that I uploaded two pictures today. One is my new profile pic, and the other is one from last summer that my mom sent me for comparison! Holy cow (no pun intended, lol!), I just never had any idea I was that big!So any day...
- I don't know what's been going on with me the past couple days, but I'm eating like there's no tomorrow!I'm over 9 months out and I've been wanting to snack and snack like crazy. And not with nice good choices, but like I've eaten a few cookies,...
- Thanks for everyone who gave me hints on Toronto! It was a fantastic city, and I loved the cool weather up there! And since we stayed downtown we walked like crazy, which probably was part of the reason I lost 4 pounds the past two weeks!...
- I love comments from people I know asking if I've lost weight, or telling me I've done a great job. Just about any time I go out and see people I hear this.I'm very active in an organization with over 100 members, and know most of them, though some...
- Can't believe six months have already passed since my surgery!Everything is going great, I feel more like a "normal" person, and I'm so grateful for this "gift!"I don't spend any more days crying, wondering why I can't control myself. I don't beat...
- Dance (doo-doo-doodoo), Dance (doo-doo-doodoo)...Boogie Onederland!!Finally had my scale take the magical dip down past 200lbs this morning! I'm thrilled--these last five pounds have been taking their sweet time falling off!Thanks to everyone who...
- I remembered yet another good thing as I was getting my hair cut today.My neck actually FITS in the hair-washing sink! Getting my hair washed before a haircut was pretty much torture before, but it feels like I must be a "normal" person now!
- Hello Canadian friends!!I know there are a lot of you on here, so I hope you'll answer something for me.My husband is attending a conference in Toronto in late June, and I'm going to go with him. Very excited about it, because what little I've seen...
- Even years ago I could walk quite a while, but five minutes on an eliptical machine would kick my butt! It's much more like stair-climbing or jogging or something.Well, this morning I tried to give it a try again. The first few minutes were pretty...
- Okay, this was an amazing discovery for me today. I've always had problems fitting "regular" necklaces around my neck, and always had to opt for really long ones. I do have one that I couldn't resist buying even though it was too tight, but I was...
- Have any of you discovered hair growth that you didn't expect? Not on my head; I'd love for that to be thicker! But due to changing hormones or something I've found dark hair springing up on my upper stomach (have always had a bit below the navel),...
- I had a lot of odd, silly thoughts before my surgery, and every once-in-a-while they pop up again. Have any of you had any strange thoughts about things you may never be able to do again (that probably would never happen anyway?!!)? These were some...
