  9. No i work for UPMC hospital. I had a 6 month supervised diet. I.started in january 2013 and my surgery was june 2013.
  10. Well thank you ladies!!! For some reason a light bulb went off in my head today. I WILL lose this weight and I should not be in such a rush if I want to be successful. As far as working out I love it, it is my stress reliever. I can only picture what my tummy would look like if I have these rock hard abs!!! Now only if the front of my belly tightens more....
  11. Ok so i seen my doctor's PA today and realized somethings today. I went in upset because i havent had a fill in 3 months. I have explained that i was hungry in between meals and she still would not fill me. So today i went in with my "game face" on. I think she felt tension from the beginning but i eased up on her when i realized.......i lost 5 pounds in 4 weeks. Here i am all upset because she will not fill me i lost track of my progress. I lost...another 5 pounds. When she see's i lost of course she will not fill me. It is a loss. If i am hungry i should eat, i am allowed 2 Snacks per day. Maybe some of this hunger is still HEAD hunger. I am only 4 months post op afterall. So during the visit we chat about breast reductions and beings i have about 40 pounds to go until i will be satisfied (although i would love to get to 130) she gives me recomendations for some plastic surgeons. She then looked at my MFP logs and said "you eat like a thin person" i think i blushed!! She was very proud of my calories and Protein. She was very impressed with my exercise. I had a thought.....why would she fill me? Im doing so great in Her eyes....why dont I see that? Am I beating myself up that bad? Then to the ok dont laugh at me question i just had to ask.....i lifted up my shirt and put my hands on my sides (hips) and said what is this??? It is so hard like a tumor or something.....i have never felt this ever. She looks at me and says "honey that is all muscle" What???? I have muscle?????? In my tummy????? Maybe my boyfriend was right when i asked him and he said it was my ABS!!!! Never felt this before in my life!!!!! Exercise is paying off!!!! Ok thanks for reading Ps....dont laugh at me lol
  12. Hello im from pittsburgh but i have UPMC insurance. I met my deductible so i did not pay anything out of pocket. Where are you having surgery at?
  13. Thats awesome to see an additional 15 pounds gone. Keep it up.
  14. I once had bras that were too small.....but now they are the only ones that fit me. I never thought about my fingers loosing weight, my ring has been on this one finger for years and i just noticed it keeps turning around. I never thought of that haha.
  15. Its amazing the little things that we can do with our kids that we might of never had the chance to do before. Congrats that is a great nsv

  17. Congrats!!! Thanks for sharing your story.
  18. Wow you look great keep up the great work!!!!
  19. I have no problem with my weight loss at all. The reason i need a small fill is simply because im hungry between meals, a fill would help me stay satisfied for a little longer. It feels great to be under 200 pounds. I havent been this happy in a very long time.
