@hopeliveshere I am down to between a size 14 - 16 and I started at a 24 and so being down 10 sizes already in 5 months just seems insane to me, but also I think the same thing I am not going to fit in this specially when I hold these jeans up and loos at how small the waste is compared to what it used to be, it's just crazy to me that when I get them on and they fit some snug a little I still can get them on and zip them up and button them without fail and I am just like wow, how did this happen??? Then with tops I am still very conservative, and still buy XL to make sure I am covered I have never been very flashy, but I always like to be covered and don't want to show rolls or anything like that, so it's weird seeing that I can wear these things? Last night my son got his new football jersey, and so I tried it on with no fail it fit, and I was like holy moly my son is 9??? Then we got home and I tried on his jersey from last year, and OMG that was a youth large and it freaking fit me???? I almost fainted!!!

thats awesome. i just got into a size 14 as well for pants coming from size 22 and i have one dress that is a 12! i agree with you on the tops right away i pick up an XL still just to be modest. i wasnt brave enough to buy a bathing suit this year, hopefully next year.

Yeah I didn't buy a bathing suit either I just used the one I had last year which wasn't too bad as it was a two piece skirt bottom with a top that was just like a tank top so it still fit good enough!!!

thats great

Congrats Pupichupi keep up the great work i am during aqua-aerobis five days a week for an hour and it is working and I am feeling good. I just had my 3 month check up yesterday and my surgeon said I was doing awsume and he is so proud of me, who knew how great we would feel after this surgery.

We're all coming to your party ! Congratulations !

You will make your '0's' I have not doubt about it. I have one more pound to hit my next one and then it's on.

Thanks pink your more than welcome!!! @BladeFox I have no doubt you will hit yours too I know you can do this!!! I love hitting "0's"!!! Its so great!!!

Do you have to see them monthly? I had to miss my 2nd visit and they only rescheduled me for the 6-month visit with labs. Interesting.

Nope not every month, this is my first Appt after the 2 week visit and the next one is in 6 months!!!

Great job ! Keep it up , you can do it !

Yay! Great work!

Congratulations! You are doing great.

pupichupi thats great time flys when your having fun congrats on your weight loss and continued progress. Keep us posted on your progress I will be three months out on the 19 of this month , cant wait to meet with my doctor as well as the end of this month.

Right? I just realized that my closet needs a trend overhaul!!! Time to step it up.

LOL, I know what you mean!!! Today I put on one of the pairs of pants that I love to wear cause they are the skinny jeans, and I like the way I feel or felt in them till today, I feel them sagging everywhere I even have to wear a belt with them and they still feel like they are falling off? I am like what the heck???? lol

Amen Sistah!!!

LOL, the guy that noticed is a good guy, he and I get along really good at work, and they all know that I had the surgery, but they see me everyday??? So it's nice when they say it cause they do see me everyday so the changes aren't as drastic to them? lol

Isn't it nice to have people compliment all your hard work? I love it.

@MissME, I do love it, I am actually going today to see a old friend of mine to get my hair cut and I can't wait to see her cause she hasn't seen me since like a few years ago she moved away and now she is back, and she had the surgery like years ago, and I can't wait to show her my progress. lol

i knew you could do it - applause, applause!!! keep up the good job

Great job ! 75 lbs is amazing ! Keep it up !!!

You go lady!! You are rocking it!

Lol

Yay!! good for you! I think thats one of the best motivators!!!

Way to go tiny butt !

Thanks!!! I was very excited and surprised. It feels so good!!!

In Chicago, too, no matter where you want to go, you can't get there from here.

mine isn't roads, it's all the school work we do, and it's freaking insane this year. Plus you have to have it done by a certain time so that the kids can come back to school? It's freaking insane this year!!!

I agree in MI everything is getting work on what should take a 5 minute rides now takes 20- 30 minutes, UGG

Way to go PuppyChow (HA!) I lost a pound over the weekend as well. Two more pounds away from my next '0'!!!!

You Pup are my idol! LOL!!! I know I'm a stress eater so over the past few months since going through the reorg at the job, I admittantly have been eating popcorn like no body's business. This has stalled my weight loss. I have lost 54 total. Really good on the inches, but the pounds...not so much. Could be better tho, ha!

Listen don't stress it so much, I am the same way, I was getting bags of smart pop and munching that, but I would do what I said get a small bowl put just enough to fit in that bowl and then put the bag away. Only eat what i could put in the bowl, and that was it. I then got wicked depressed not too long ago with my birthday that came up, I picked up Cheese puffs, cause they melt in your mouth and they are easy to eat. I was eatting alot of those, I had to tell my fiance to keep them away from me. I think its a good thing you have hiccups all of us, cause that shows hello this isn't going to help if we don't help it. I am happy that I can still eat somethings that I know are not good for me, it just gives me the opportunity to show how strong I can be!!! You can do this!!!

Thanks for the encouragement. I'm working my way through it.

How about your key person taking 2 weeks off and you get all their projects and they fall apart the first day? At least I leave on vacation as she comes back and she can deal with all of it on her own.

@Ginger Snaps, I would freak, but I took 2 days off and today is my first day back and it seems everything that all my jobs that I had were going great friday when I left and now everything has gone to S%#t??? I got phone calls on my cell like the dam flood broke and everyone was drowning? I can't take a freaking break without someone freaking out????

Exciting!

I know right!!! I'm looking forward to hitting both those goals!!!

Thanks guys, I soooo need this right now specially after this week!!!! Ready to fall down!!! Taking my running sneakers with me, and going to go on the trails they got near the house we stay in!!! CAN NOT WAIT!!!

I don't think i'll fit in your suitcase (yet)....but that sounds wonderful!

@BigGirlPanties, yeah I don't fit in my suitcase yet either, but hopefully that will happen soon!!! lol

LOL I hope your day and evening gets better.

Don't let the stress consume you Pup!

@BladeFox I try not to let the stress consume me but some days work really can get to me, and I just want to go to the nut house? LOL

There is no norm, it is by individual. I was down 15 after my first month? So it all goes on individual? I did have a rough start to all of this but I am good and going and going to keep on going now!!! I have my next doc appt next month, and can't wait to see my surgeon to show him how much I have lost.

Nice, keep it up

Thanks I will do my best. LOL, I really just want to hit my goals I set out for myself!!!

you know what I did, I created a document on my computer that not only shows me how much weight I have lost but also shows the inches I have lost every month, I measure my chest, waste, hips, thigh, arm & neck, and I put it in each month and that is amazing too!!! You don't have to put it on the computer, I do because it's easier, but you could do a book on it too, and I am just so happy with my progress!!!

Rock it!

Congrats thats awesome. I made spread sheet with starting weight and measurments of certan body areas.

Happy Birthday and enjoy your day you enjoy it.

Happy Birthday!! I was just thinking about that today. I am considering if I should enjoy this last birthday cake? Or be good....

I will tell you what, I didn't miss the cake at all. I am so much more happier that I don't have to eat that stuff. If I hadn't had the surgery, I would eat more than one piece and I would pick at it all the while it just sits there? I don't like that, I like how I can be now.

@SherB Thanks!!!

Congrats LADY!!! You are doing it lady. I need to keep up

lol, I know you can do it!!!

Care to share a recipe? Sounds delish!

No real recipe??? Just get the veggiti thing it's an as seen on tv thing, and you take a zucchini and make pasta out of it, and then throw some pasta sauce on top of it stick it in the microwave for 1 - 2 min and eat up!!! Quick, easy and delicious!!! Oh and really good for you too. Will be trying other types at some point but for now the easier the better!!!

Hee, Hee, Hee!
