So this weekend I had to go out and buy new shoes because my feet are now a size smaller and a new jacket. I used to wear a size 3x jacket and now I wear, drum roll please a size xl. As you can imagine I was swimming in my old jacket. Now for another way to go, to date I have lost 102 lbs. 42 lbs since Nov 9th, my surgery date and the rest were lost when I had to do the 6 months of classes and stuff. But thanks to my sleeve this is gone forever and I love it. People at work comment that pretty soon there will be nothing left of me, hee hee. I love how people don't recognize me anymore either. Hubby and I went out to our local bar, which I hung out at before meeting him every weekend for 2 years and no one realized it was me next to him (btw I met him there too). It was kind of mind blowing. One of our friends was pissed at him thinking he brought another chick to the bar and was going to cuss him out, then she heard me talk and realized yup it is his wife, her friend and I'm still there. Her comment was at the time holy cow, how much weight have you lost 100 lbs and my response on that day was nope 99 to be exact, lol.

Now one set back from losing all this weight is the hair loss and I'm starting to notice sagging skin. I have really thick and pretty long hair and now it's just coming out by the handfuls, kinda scary. The sagging skin, I'm working out every day but only 10 mins at a time, 3 times a day just so I don't aggravate my back and I'm using resistance bands till I get my elliptical. So we'll see how this plays out.

I also have thick hair ... it is scary to watch the handfuls come out, but there really isn't a way to stop it. I couldn't believe I still had enough hair to cover me up, but no one really noticed. Well except for me when I had to clean out the shower drain in the mornings.

Congratulations on your progress thus far!

Great job ... over 100 lbs gone, WOW!!!!!! I love the part about your friend getting mad at your hubby!!!!!!!!!

Thank you

You are doing AMAZING Leslie!!!!! I'm soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo happy for you!!!

I too am losing hair like crazy (thank GOD for my extensions LOL), and sagging skin, BUT my knees are feeling really good right now which makes it all worth it

Thanks Sophia, u and Pam keep me truckin along and sooo inspire me. If my hair issue doesn't slow down I might have to pick a new hair style and grab some extensions. Isn't it amazing how our aching body parts aren't so achy no more? Who would of thought our ailments would be eased in such a short time???

Hey Leslie girl, GREAT JOB!!!!! What an excellent NSV!! Keep up the good work and positive attitude, you are gonna have all your dreams come tru in no time.
