Well after a hellish week in La I am back and feeling MUCH better after an unfill. Dr. filled me WAY too tight and I was miserable my whole trip. BUT I am now officially 100 pounds from goal! YEAH!

How much is everyone working out?? I just joined a gym and I've gone the last 4 days in a row (doing weights on 3 of them) and I'm not eating any differently than before but today I gained 1 lb back Do you guys think I gained that much muscle already??

Before my knee surgery I was exersizing 6 days a week for 45 minutes including weight training. I am only working out about 4-5 days now and easing back into a routine. I still cannot do squats. I am still losing weight though and I'm down 37 pounds. Only about 7 pounds from my halfway mark!

Pebbles - You look great. Did you notice you are almost to your halfway mark? I was banded a week before you and you have lost 13 more pounds than me. I bet you feel good, too. Keep up the good work. :clap2:

Thanks Robin. Yeah I'm almost halfway to my first goal. YEAH I havent been to the Dr since my fill and I'm down about 8 more lbs but I don't put it on my ticker till I go to the Dr I try not to use my scale at home. LOL Well you are doing great as well. Keep up the great work!!!

I am curious - what size is everybody?

I started out at 230 and size 18W. I am now down to 193 and am a regular 16 on bottom and 14 on top. I was so thrilled to buy my holiday outfits in the Macy's Misses department and not Woman's. I have also started buying at Talbots instead of Talbot's Woman.

Is anyone noticing sagging of their skin? I am trying to work out regularly but have noticed that my inner thighs are beginning to sag from excess skin. I am already worried about what my legs will look like after another 45 pounds are off. I never wanted to do cosmetic surgery, but not I am wondering whether I will have too.

Well, I started out at 259 size 20W and XXL/XXXL in most things and now I am 215 and size 18 (American Eagle) and they are loose now. I can wear a regular XL in most shirts. I am wearing a 14/16W at Ashley Stewart/Lane Bryant.

I totally agree about being able to shop at regualar stores is wonderful but I don't really feel like I can buy anything yet due to still loosing so quickly.

I am catching some things on clearance and that has been fun.
