      Totally disappointing and totally frustrating! Go beat something up (not animal or human, please) and you know the drill... hang in there.

  2. Put on a bathing suit for the first time this season today just to wear while working in the back yard. It sure was a lot easier today than the last time I put one on.

      Isn't it great! It's not like I think I have a rocking model body and the skin is pretty crinkly in places and I have no boobs now but MAN it's SO much better than last year!

      Isn't it funny how we're afraid of things just out of preconceived notions and then have a ball when we challenge our beliefs??? Good life lesson in lots of things.

  8. To be free .of diets and guilt. What a wonderful thing.

      I know, it's weird how now I notice just how many commercials and magazine articles and TV segments there are about weight loss. I feel like I'm definitely in the minority thinking "I don't need to hear that!"

  12. 7 Months and I went from a size 28 pant to a 14!! 14!!!!! :)

  13. Having a bad day. Did something stupid, I permed my hair. Lots of breakage on top. Now I have cut my hair very short but worried if do that the top of my head would look bald. Don't know what to do. — feeling depressed.

      Like @4me4them, I wear my hair pretty short. I seem to be having some loss (more than I like) and breakage. I just had the hairdresser cut it shorter to I can let it dry naturally (no blowdryer or curling / flat irons) and I'm treating it with some heavy duty damaged hair shampoo and conditioner. You can always gel some to spike it up a little or use some texturizing cream to help calm the frizzies. But, don't worry -- people will be looking at the body and weight loss more than the hair -- and it's winter -- you can wear hats! :)

      @Ava324 -- I'm going out to dance my newly-smaller butt off tonight! With a new man who doesn't know about the surgery so he won't know why I'm on cloud 9 but maybe he'll just think it's him (and a lot of the smile on my face IS him!)

  17. Well haven't competed for over a year, plantar faciaitis (sp?) finally letting up. So I will be walking in the Turkey Run/Walk 5K Thanksgiving morning! Excited to get back out there.

      That's great Jodie... I thought about doing a Turkey Trot too but I think I'm going the lazy couch potato route instead! :)

  18. Can someone thump me and make me stop cheating when I'm stressed!!! Dang, good for a few days then my micro-manager will do or say something that get's under my skin and I turn to food - Geez!!!! I'm looking for another job so soon...

    1. Ginger Snaps

      Ginger Snaps

      Funny -- when I first read it I thought you said "stop cleaning"! Maybe you should take up intensive cleaning instead of eating! Try to find something healthy to replace cheating -- maybe take a short fast walk or do some planks or something or maybe just have some almonds or a healthy snack on hand and count it into your daily plan.

  21. 8 months post op today and I have currently lost 101 lbs, It's exciting to get down this low in less than a year!!! I look forward to having a healthy life now not a overweight one!!!

  22. My surgeon asked me to speak at his support group meeting in January -- sharing my experience... How cool is that?

  23. Officially size 16! I have tampered with size 18 too long to realize that they just don't do justice to this fine body any longer :P

    1. Ginger Snaps

      Ginger Snaps

      Amen Sister! When those jeans start sagging just the slightest in the butt, I'm off to the store for the next size down. My teen boys were saying, "those look ok, just a little saggy" and I'm like "I didn't work this hard to lose weight and trim this body down to wear saggy jeans! " They just roll their eyes...

       

      You go get those 16's NOW!!!

      Congrats Pupi!!! It's so strange how stalls happen like that and then all the sudden you have a big weight dump! But you've worked hard for this! Enjoy the feeling of success!
