Hey there...thanks for the compliment! I've received a few questions, so I decided to blog about what I've been doing. Check it out. Keep me updated on your journey!

Wow...that's amazing!!! 28 to a 20!! I started out at 285lbs and was in size 22 (prob should have been a 24, but i bought all stretch jeans cuz I refused to buy bigger clothes...lol) and now I'm in a 16. Feels great....it'll feel even greater when I'm in single digit clothing! Good luck on your journy. Keep me posted on your progress. YOu should jump in the chat sometime. People there are a riot.

Damn you's a sexy b*tch Love ya twin

Hey there...thanks for the pic comment! God, that pic in the cream Ed Hardy shirt seems like forever ago now. I still try to wear it, but it is too big now...lol. It's a large and although I still wear a large, I think I stretched it out...lol. Yeah, I got lots and lots of clothes going in "Garage Sale" bins. Its a good feeling when none of your clothes fit anymore, but not so good on the pocket book. haha. So when were you banded?

Hey there. You look AMAZING! What an inspiration to us bandsters. You must be at goal or pretty darn close to it!

Hi, thanks for the compliments. I do workout a lot - about 5-6 times a week. I do cardio 3 times, weights 3 times (1 of those times is with a trainer), and abs every day. It's a lot of work and dedication, but totally worth it. I feel so much better about myself and I used to have serious back issues, which have faded along with the weight. The 65 lbs I've lost is a lot of weight and strain to be carrying around with you every day. Are you banded?

Thanks for your pic comment. You never know who's looking and since the one pic is pretty much in lingerie, I didn't want anyone to get upset. There are some that are very conservative.

Thanks everyone for all the love

Hi there, thanks for the compliment. I'm at 5cc's and I work out 5-6 times a week and I have a personal trainer. It's tough work, but I feel great!

I'm sure you can tell a difference....22lbs is a lot of weight to lose. Can you imagine what it would have taken to lose that without the surgery?! I'm sure you're looking great!!!

Hi there....thanks for the message. I had my surgery 8/27 and im down a little over 50lbs. I have good days and I have bad days...its just learning what I can and cannot eat and listening to my body. This should be an interesting holiday...

Hey stranger....how has the band been going for you? Want to see some recent pics!!

Thank you to everyone for all your comments, compliments and encouragement. It means more to me than you know. You all motivate me in your own special way.

As long as your adjusting well. I think my body took to it pretty smoothly. I'm down about 41 pounds in a little over 2 months (8/27/09). So, progress has been good. This week I had a rough time keeping food down. I think something was stuck, but am much better now. Oh, the sacrifices we make. You have to keep posting pics so we can see progress.

Hey gorgeous! How are you feeling after your surgery?? Took me about 4 days to get back into the swing of things...I bet the weight is just falling off huh? Don't forget, you have to suffer for your beauty. It gets better.

Thanks luvs...it will be 2 months on the 27th

hey girl, i was just looking at your profile too! you look amazing even without the band! that dorothy pic is super hot! ur gonna be dangerous when u get banded....look out!
