I've always been curvy but I don't mind if all of this boobage goes just as long as my booty stays. ~Lord, please don't let me have a flat behind after I lose this weight~

Too cute!

Congratulations. I simply cannot wait until this happens to me.

I can only imagine how good you feel now especially once you realize how the things that use to prohibit you from doing certain activities, no longer affect you. It's a wonderful feeling and who says the sky has to be the limit when there are footprints on the moon? Lol.

Congrats girlie!

I've never worn a costume. *cries in the corner* Every year I want to be a sexy kitty with 5 inch, thigh high leather boots.

I probably would have asked them if they wanted some.

I might need to know the answer to this too, lol. It makes sense to me.

Call your local office and ask them what all do they cover.

You keep saying that you didn't do this to lose weight, but you do realize that by you losing weight has improved your health right?

Why is this forum so empty??

Looking good!!!!!

Isn't it tooterville/twooterville or something? lol. I don't know.

Girl don't even worry about the ex. I know it hurts but this is your time to focus on you and you don't need people around you who do not support what you choose to do with your body to become healthier. When this is all over and you look and feel fabulous, he'll probably come crawling back and by that time......you will have moved on to a happier place in life.

My 4th weigh will be next week. I'm waiting to meet my surgeon for the first time. I'm so nervous. For the past week I've been stalled. The scale moved up and down at first and now nothing. I know what's wrong. I've been eating too many carbs.

Girl, I know exactly how you feel. I have not had surgery yet and won't be probably until the beginning of the year as well. Let me tell you, I cannot wait to wear heels! There are so many things that I look forward to once all of this weight has gone away.

Well that's great news!

Hey Niyema, welcome to the board and congratulations on your 36lb loss!!!!! I have not had surgery yet but I've been dieting since the end of June. I've lost close to 50lbs. I can't wait until all of this is over and I get to have my surgery which probably won't be until the early part of next year. Happy losing.

You look great!

Thanks everyone for the encouragement to keep going. It's hard sometimes, but I'm finally at a point in my life where I'm ready to lose this weight. It is a fun and rewarding journey. This really put a smile on my face today, I needed it.

I just fit into a size that's 3 sizes smaller than what I was wearing when I started this journey. I was not expecting this at all!!! Cause when I look at myself, I can't tell I've lost any weight. Sure my pants were loose, but in my mind I'm still the same size. Whelp, I'm still going to wear my baggy britches till they fall off cause I refuse to buy clothing right now while I'm losing.Just had to share. Tis all.

You will be in my prayers.

Congrats!!!! My 3rd month starts tomorrow. I haven't been to the doctor for an official weigh in yet but from my scale at home, I'm down 15 more lbs (27 in all) and I'm happy about that. It's hard work but I'm not about to give up. I can't wait until I'm where you are just waiting for approval and to finally get the call.

I will be going into my 2nd month this coming Tuesday. So far I've only lost 12lbs. I feel as though I could've lost more had I stuck to my healthy eating the way I had done during my first 2 weeks. I have to get my BMI down before I can have surgery so hopefully I will do that by eating meat / veggies, low carb, no sweets. It was fairly easy for me this time and I haven't had any cravings for things that I cut out of my diet. I just wish I could speed these months up because I'm so ready to get this done. I know that once the time comes, I'll be a barrel of nerves.

I wish you all the luck. I hope to be where you are one day soon and I can't wait to read how it went.
