I still find that I struggle with nightime eating. I don't know if it is boredom or what but 8 pm rolls around and I want to eat something - even if I am not hungry.

I would like to weight 270 or less by March 12, 2008 (my one year anniversary). Not only does it represent a weight loss of 115 lbs - it also puts me into the Obese category and out of the Morbidly Obese category.

I can't believe it has been almost a year. Life has changed so much. Hopefully the next year will bring the next 100 pounds off and I will be ready to start on the plastics journey. I love my Band!!!

A friend of mine has had a breast lift with Dr. Heller and then she went back and had the TT and thigh lift. And another friend had her arms done with Dr. Heller. They both look great!! What I find shocking is how faint the scars are in such a short time. I plan on using him when I am at goal.

This is why I take pictures. I really can't see a difference in the mirror. I have to look at pictures to "see" the weight I have lost. It probably just takes time to see the smaller you in the mirror

I haven't been on much - getting ready for school to start for both me and my three kids has kept me busy. Plus we went on vacation in August. I just wanted to pop on and post some progress pics. The first pic is in Feb before surgery. The second is in early June I think and the last one was yesterday.

At this time it is only available for the Nano. That is why I went with the Nano instead of the video IPOD. Here is a link - I think they are available other places too but here is the link Waterproof Ipod nano Case, IPod 4G Case, Waterproof Ipod, IPod Protection, Waterproof Ipod nano Cover You have to use them with the waterproof headphones. Instead of using the armband I use a waist band specificially for swimming. Leaves my arms free.

I have the IPOD waterproof cover for my Nano. You have to use it with the waterproof headphones but it has transformed laps for me. No more boredom - plus I can set a playlist of songs to pace my workout.

I am having a hard time articulating this but here goes... I am 9 pounds away from making a major milestone and for some reason I am terrified. I haven't been under 300 pounds in about 10 years. I don't know what exactly the fear is - I really want to lose weight for too many reasons to even list but for some reason I am having a hard time wrapping my mind around the weight loss and identity issues. Anyone else struggling with this?

I had to come and brag to people who would understand my excitement. I am sitting her in a size 18 from Avenue!! WOOHOO! I can buy the size 22 from Walmart and they are comfortable but I bought the 18 jeans from Avenue just because they were 18's. It has been 12 years since I have worn any piece of clothing that started with a 1

Waving hello to everyone. I have been a board slacker. I haven't had much to report - I am losing a pretty steady 1 to 2 pounds a week. I have been working out regularly. Sometimes I get impatient and just want it all GONE! But at other times I get really excited that it is actually going and I am not gaining it back. I will try to be more consistent on the board - it really helps support wise.

So here are some updated pictures. For those of you who don't know my Hubby is weird about my pictures being online so that is why all the chopped off heads. I can finally see a difference in pictures. Look how much longer the shirt is!!!!

Denise - Great Job!!! I can really tell a difference! I need to put some update pictures up too.
