Guest guest Posted September 5, 2001 Report Share Posted September 5, 2001 Just a quick note --- yesterday was my 11 month anniversary, still feeling great, few if any problems and would do it all again tomorrow. Now am looking ahead (can’t quite say looking forward to…) some plastic surgery, breasts and arms hopefully first sometime this fall and tummy/thighs/buttocks maybe sometime this spring (depends on timing with my father’s wedding in April). As of yesterday I was at 180 pounds, down from 281.5 which is down 101.5 pounds in 11 months. Sometimes I think it is too slow but then I go to the MGB site and find that I am completely within what is expected. I am “only” averaging 4-5 pounds per month now but as long as I am still losing I will take it! My inches lost are quite amazing to me. I am down a total of 60 inches in the areas that I measure: Bust down 9.5 inches, under bust (band size) down 7 inches, arms down 4 inches, waist down 11 inches, hips down 14.5 inches (the most disproportionate part of my body), thighs down 9.5 inches and calf down 4.5 inches. Funny how I still don’t see it in the mirror with my clothes off!! I am sitting here typing this in a size 12P jeans from Lee which I bought this weekend (and didn’t have to lay down to zip/button!) and a L sweater from Target. Life is wonderful. I am some depressing moments over the weekend while camping remembering that just two short years ago my family was going camping for the first time with my parents (my parents had gone ahead with the boys and they were already having a wonderful trip). On Friday night we were making the same tip in our motorhome (two years ago it was a tent!) in the rain so I had lots of time to think. My mother is now gone (partially due to obesity and diabetes) and my father is engaged to someone else. I try very hard to find a reason for my mother’s passing and sometimes I think it was to save me and so that my kids would not have to bury me when they were in their 20s (my mother was only 63). Mom’s death really shook me up and gave me the courage to save my own life! I know that she is looking down from heaven and smiling brightly at me every day! Ok – now I’m weeping so I have to go. Thank you all for being my friend! in GA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
