  1. I do this too. I used to love clothes. Now I wear what fits. I can't wait to wear something because I like it and not because it covers my skin!
  2. I'll be thinking about you!
  3. I'm still pre op but I have it. I agree, I was only able do It a couple of days but I absolutely believe it will give you great results. There's a lot of jumping, and I need to lose a few inches in my belly so it doesn't shake so much when I jump!
  4. More excited than I thought possible. It's building everyday!
  5. Congratulations! I just got my date yesterday for May 7th. So excited!
  6. Congratulations. What an achievement!!!!
  7. That's is so wonderful! Congratulations on finishing, and also on your upcoming marriage!
  8. I was going to ask this same question. Do you have to have another sleep study or can you just tell?
  9. Thanks for sharing. I can't wait to try this!
  10. Oh wow. Hold on while I pick my jaw up off the floor. You look incredible!
  11. Welcome! Congratulations on your little one. I too was looking into the surgery and got pregnant instead. Best thing ever. You sound like a great uplifting person and I know you're going to do great in your journey!
  12. Thanks for the support, everyone! I think maybe yesterday was just one of those days. I found out that I'm being submitted to insurance for approval today and am feeling much more hopeful. I will not give up until I'm thin and healthy.
  13. Am I alone in this? Sometimes I'm really excited but I keep having this nagging fear it's just not going to happen for me. I mean, I've been on these diets I swore were for life, lost weight and felt proud of myself only to gain it all back. Rinse and repeat. It's almost as though I've become accustomed to expecting the failure now. I can't even picture myself thin anymore or imagine how it feels. I try really hard not to be negative in life, but I'm so scared I'm going to fail.
  14. Sixty pounds is amazing! Congratulations and Happy Birthday! I hope 41 is your best year yet.
  15. Welcome. I love your attitude of focusing on recovery and moving forward.
  16. You look fantastic and years younger, too!
  17. I cant wait to... Not be the fattest parent at all the school and sporting events. Be able to buy clothes because I like them, not because they fit. Not feel like others are staring at me yet at the same time feel invisible. Be able to use the small blood pressure cuff. Go running. Go hiking. Be a part of family photos and not be behind the camera.
  18. Fantastic! I'm so happy for you!
  19. Congratulations. You sound so happy and look wonderful!
  20. I'm in love with this thread. Everyone is so inspiring!!!
