Hey Girls:

I had the chance to watch the video of my procedure (I'm a surgical tech), the "tour" the cammera took inside me really woke me up!!!. Watching all that fat wrapped around the organs was scary.

I was 250 lbs. at my heaviest and my chest was huge for my 5'4" frame. I was a 40 DDD or F. Now after losing some weight (170 lbs now) I'm a 36 DD.

I had to addmit I ate like a very happy piggy during christmas, but like a good Texan here I go....jump on the saddle again.

Giddy up girls!!! Today is a new day!!!!

"Yesterday is gone ,we only have today...tomorrow only God knows.

YES LORD!!!!!!

NJ Chick - that's a great picture! I love that you keep coming back for inspiration. I saw the NJ forum and was so excited!

My surgeon told me pick up and carry around a 5 pound sack of potatoes every time I lose five pounds. Five pounds seems so piddly until it's put in perspective.

Thanks for the motivation.

Didn't they turn human fat into some great smelling soap in Fight Club?
