No celebration yet. I'll really Celebrate and do the waaa toosssie dance when I am 150lbs, which was my pre baby weight.. around 140 - 150. I used to be able to gain 10lbs overnight.

Thanks for the shout out though :)

Wow Telly !!!! 199!!! That rocks! You are going to be at your goal weight before we know it!

Small NSV~ My cousin and I went and got measured at the gym Friday... She is 5'4" and 152 lbs. My calf is only 1 inch bigger around than hers!!! Now, the waist is another story, but that made me feel good.

All I can think about is Amy and her apron removal... I want one!!!!

I have saved my smallest pair of jeans that I have ever had (that I can remember). I wore them when I was a Junior in High School. They aren't stretch, and they have been washed and put in the dryer millions of times... but I always saved them. I remember not too long ago, trying them on and they wouldn't come up past my knees. :eek: Well, just barely above the knees. They are a 16W and very old and like I said not stretchy, but I'll be darned if I didn't pull them up today. Another couple of weeks at the gym and I will be wearing those jeans! Now, I probably could have laid down on the bed and sucked it in and used a coat hanger to zip them up... but I was very pleased to pull them up and they actually sit where they should... they just don't zip.

Hooray!

Now the Old Navy jeans I have on right now (16W) are driving me absolutely mad. I love them, but they are too baggy!!!! I think it is time to go shopping :)

ROFL, yes Heather, lol, Diablo means 2 things.

1. The Devil - in Spanish

2. A popular phrase "Oh Dayuuuummmm!" in Spanish (it's a slang too)

So.. for me, if it's bad to me then it's the Devil and if it's good to me then I'll be shocked and say.. "Ohhh Dayuuum! or the correct spelling "Oh Dammnnnnnn!"

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
