Guest guest Posted November 2, 2001 Report Share Posted November 2, 2001 Oh ! What a great update! And I know how good that had to make you feel meeting this good looking guy. Sounds like there might be something potentially serious happening here, since you've talked daily to him. Great news, I say! Keep up the good work. And congrats! in OK MGB 3/29/2001 303/185 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2001 Report Share Posted November 2, 2001 Hiya gang, Well, I can hardly believe it's time for another update, and that it's actually been 8 months. My weight loss continues to surprise me by not coming to a dead stop, which I seem to anticipate at every turn. I am still at the high end of Dr. R's weight loss prediction scale, which is wonderful.... and I continue to have no complications whatsoever. Here's a rundown of my 8 months of weight loss: Month 1: 29 lb Month 2: 20 lb (49) Month 3: 10 lb (59) Month 4: 14 lb. (73) Month 5: 9 lb. (82) Month 6: 15 lb. (97) Month 7: 4 lb. (101) Month 8: 12 lb. (113) Total: 113 lb. lost, from 334 now to 221. I can still eat pretty much anything I want. I still take my vitamins and Prevacid every day. I find that I never have any aches or pains as long as I take the prevacid... and if I don't take it, and I eat something too greasy, I get an achy spot in my tummy. So... I just take it. I've never had any vomiting, never had any acid or bile reflux (thank God). I try to be careful about what I eat near bedtime, and I sleep slightly elevated just as a precaution. My hair loss has slowed to just slightly more than average. I bought my first dress that was NOT a plus size. It felt so strange to wander into the " normal " section of a department store and actually find something I could wear... and it felt even MORE funny to go on auto-pilot and take all those larger sizes to the dressing room at first, only to find they were all too large. Oh, and my 19 year old niece (who is NOT fat) tried to give me her Old Navy zip-up sweatshirt because I'd been wishing for one... she wanted me to try hers. I said " ummmmm Mandy... what are you talking about?? I can't wear your clothes! " She said " ummmm wanna bet? Try it on! " It was a misses XL and it fit perfectly. I am still in awe of the fact that I can even approach wearing something of hers. Last week, I visited friends out of state, and they hadn't seen me for about 2 years... so, needless to say, they were in shock! While I was visiting, a friend of theirs (guy) came over to join us for dinner... 29 years old, blonde hair, blue eyes, 6'3 " , a total babe. As the evening progressed, I was totally shocked to realize he was attracted to me! Took me a while to adjust to that shock, but once I did, I enjoyed it thoroughly! I saw him twice over the weekend, and have talked to him almost daily since coming home. I came home feeling more feminine, and rather amazed to realize there's actually a woman inside after all... and not just a fat girl. I've babbled enough for today. I wish you all good health and happiness. (KY) MGB 3-1-01 334/221/??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2001 Report Share Posted November 3, 2001 , WONDERFUL! I'm almost 8 months too and time has flown by hasn't it? It's great to try on 'normal' sizes, but what do we do when we have so many places to shop and so many choices? HAHA! HUGS in ARk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
