I was checking to see how long it would take someone to notice, a long time....

There is nothing EASY about what we have done to our bodies, and the wt can still be regained....

Except me, I still have a flip phone and I don't text LOL

Thank you!!!

VERY well said Jonathon......very well said......I told only a few and now when someone finds out I lost 100 lbs they always ask how. I tell them by making life changes etc......because I have

I think sometimes they are so jealous they pee green!!!

Don't you want to slap someone when they say this regarding our WLS?? There is NOTHING easy about what we have done. Not only have we had our guts rearranged but eating, as we knew it for our entire life, has changed. We have made the ultimate sacrifice and will continue to do so for continued success. I have had people tell me this, and the others tell me they could never do what I have done because they are not ready to give up the old way of eating. We still have to count our calories, get exercise, make wise choices etc. I have a sister that I finally told about 7 months out. She has just lost 30 lbs, and commented to me that she "did it the old fashioned way". GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR Precisely why I told so few people.

This was for our Corvette Club Christmas Party last night. Clingy dress size large, has been hanging in closet with tags since 2009....... I felt so pretty!!!

I have other photos in my gallery

I had a wonderful Thanksgiving and the first year I haven't stuffed myself...why? I wasn't able!!! This is a picture taken of me and my sweet dog on Thanksgiving Day.... Dang, I look pretty good for an old gal -97 lbs here

I have lost 95 lbs. I cannot believe it some days. I look in my mirror and don't recognize who is looking back at me, and yet sometimes I go "There you are! I have missed you!" I have only 15 pounds to go..............yay me...

In fact a little high, my doc says the cold hands are normal but I would have thought it would have been better by now

My iron was great

I did do a search for cold hands before I started a new topic, no luck. I am almost 9 months post op and I thought my cold hands were done with but the last few weeks they have been freezing.......anyone else????

Thank you...it is coming off slow but that's ok. I have been so busy the last two months canning apples from my orchard and making apple butter and everything else, that I haven't had much time to exercise.....good news though is that I eat lots of apples! LOL

I cannot believe it...I am almost to -100 lbs. It sounds unreal!!! I look in the mirror and I am in awe!!! My health has improved so very much... I have lost over 70 inches, high BP...high cholesterol, diabetes, asthma, sleep apnea, my walking cane, my low self esteem, and so so much more..... I love me!!!!!

Thank YOU. I would certainly appreciate an Amazon review if you like the book.

UMP on Amazon is great. I love the cookies and cream. I mix it in lite soy milk or you could use regular. I had to order Unjory online but I really wasn't overly impressed with it..... Good luck

If you have a Kindle, I have done a free promo on my book through Monday October 27th. It is titled "How Can I Keep From Singing" on Amazon by Kittie Preas Koukalik. If you read it, please leave a review on Amazon, that is the purpose of the free promo. Thanks.

Sorry for YELLING BUT BIOTIN DOES NOT STOP HAIR LOSS. IT HELPS WITH REGROWTH. I don't know how many times this has been posted!

I am at almost 8 months and mine is growing back, to the point, it makes my bangs look funny, my bangs got so thin and now there is about an inch of new growth showing through. The loss has slowed significantly. My doc said it should by 8 months. I am down 92 pounds and loving it.....(68 inches too) Congrats to us all.. yippee
