    amytug got a reaction from Fiddleman in I'm overweight! (and couldn't be happier!)   
    I just celebrated this earlier this week! It feels great and I am happy but I bet it'll pass quickly before we're "normal!"

    I know I love the gap!!! At the moment that's with feel shoulder width apart. My aim is to have the gap when my feet are together!
    My suggestion is to follow your doctors orders, I often skip Breakfast which is really bad. I try to exercise everyday and I have a personal trainer 3 times a week.
    You don't need a personal trainer but it really helps!

    Is a loan an option? It's a small one if its just 2,500. Or maybe apply for a cc that has 0% interest.

    Ok I'm back on the wagon... I mean treadmill!
    Just finished week 1 day 3 AGAIN
    It was mentally hard starting back up again, but it went pretty good!
    Oh and a funny NSV my slim 17 year old mouthy daughter walked in as I was running and sat down and stared at me. I look over at her and gave her a friendly hand gesture (just joking ok not really)
    She says "what?" Then she says "you look really good" !!!
    What the what??? From the same girl that just last week as we were out pointed out my sleeveless arms and asked "are you going to have surgery on those?" 0_o
    She said I looked good, and I looked good running!

    amytug reacted to mom2five in 5 Months and 94 pounds down (caution, underwear pic)   
    I'm 5 months out from surgery and I've lost 94 pounds. I have 55 pounds left to lose to reach my goal of 125. I'm 5 ft tall. I'm so excited about the weight I've lost so far and feel a million times better.
    I hesitate to post this because the before pic is me in my underwear but It's the only pic I have that really shows the difference. I hope it doesn't offend anyone.
    My family is getting ready to go on a beach trip and I bought a swim suit. I got a halter bikini top and swim shorts. I tried to find a pic of me last year at the beach but I couldn't find any that showed me from the shoulders down...but I found this underwear pic from the night before surgery.
    I've lost a total of 64 inches so far! I've lost 13.5 inches from my hips and 10 inches from each thigh!! I'm amazed at the process and I'm loving this journey!
    Please, if underwear offends you, do not click on the pic. :-)

    amytug reacted to No game in The goal weight number   
    From a post I made yesterday....
    You know I never really discussed a "goal weight" with my surgeon. And if he did.
    It probably sounded like the teacher in "Charlie brown"
    Wha wha wha... Approved
    wha wha wha...surgery date
    I picked a number (in the healthy BMI range) not really putting my full belief into it really being possible

    amytug reacted to Kristina J. in Dr Luna   
    Are you f-ing kidding me?!? I have EVERYTHING that YOU sent me!!!! I don't delete conversations, so I have all of ours from the last 2 months, including pictures and forwards. You are a liar who has hurt so many people and apparently stirred up just enough mess to get your boyfriend back. And the ONLY reason I hadn't sent it to Garcia on my own was because I had promised YOU that I wouldn't!!! But you've made it perfectly clear how much my friendship means to you, and how foolish I was for thinking there was something to salvage.
    I actually felt BADLY for not being in touch with you this week while I navigated my way out of your BS retraction and was thinking it would be worth salvaging what's left of our friendship, but at this point, I couldn't be more done with this, him or YOU.
    Seriously, good luck but don't contact me or have your friend contact me again. I can handle a lot of crap from people, but this is too much even for me!!

    50/50.
    Part of me doesn't believe there's only 28 lbs left to goal. The other half of me is like "psssh I'm so getting there already". I dunno.
    It's really hard to actually envision a healthy toned happy Amy.
    J still see myself now as preop amy. This was right after surgery. So lumpy and bumpy. Blah.
    It's the best fatty pic I have. The camera makes me look thinner but I remember how disgusting I felt that day.

    A goal;
    is a desired result a person envisions, plans and commits to achieve a personal or organizational desired end-point in some sort of assumed development. Many people endeavor to reach goals within a finite
    I have 29 pounds to go to be at "goal" this number will mean I succeeded at something that I have been used to failing at over and and over again.
    I'm doing it, but still have a hard time "seeing it"

    When you write "u" I'm assuming you mean "you" in which this case I think you mean me?
    No I am not a patient.. Which is why I have not given any personal recommendations about him (Garcia)
    But I am not trying to harm his practice either.
    Which is what I think all the unnecessary verbal attacks are doing.
