I took my kids to see Shrek 3rd in theatre.....Had to squeeze myself into the chair , it was sooooo tight by the end it hurt......Took them to The Chipmunk Movie on Wednesday, and I could sit in the chair, with neither of my sides touching the sides of the chair....It was only a little moment but it sure felt good to not have to squeeze in. I cant wait to have more of these moments...

I was looking for anyones suggestions..... I lost what I think was quite quickly at the beginning now it is really slowing down. I have added exersize as I thought that would increase my weight loss but it has slowed it down. I was just wondering if there is something more I should be eating or less of. Just confused is all...Any help would be great....

Cograts !!!!!!!!
I went to disney over the summer and had to use a wheelchair, due to a cast on my foot, and I felt completely stuck in the chair.
I look forward to those success stories in my own life.
Be proud !

Sorry Angie I don't have any advice but I think you are doing fantastic.

Keep up the good work you are doing great despite the stall right now.

Can't wait to meet you!!!!!

My husband and I have also slowed down on weight lost,He went 3 weeks without showing any sign of weight lost..I was told that this can happen ..I was also told after 6 months it will melt off...So we are wondering also

Well its been a while since I last posted, so I thought I would write a quick update. THings are still going good, I feel great, the more that I lose the better I feel, the more energy I have, and the ability to do things with my kids outside of the house is GREAT!!!
I had one kinda "bad" moment, I needed a new bathing suit, as the one I had was 2X and just too big, so I went to good ol' Walmart and bout a 2 piece one, NOT a bikini, but like the top and bottom. So I bot a LG in the bottoms, and looked at the tops and went for a 3X, so i bought it no trying on as I had my 3 yr old with me and that would have been a story on its own, but got home, put the bottoms on and they were fine and then the top and WOW, it was horrid!!!Way too small, well I guess not way too small but my belly was sticking out!!!! I cant imagine how they are sized as I was wearing 3X tops from Walmart before surgery, almost a 100lbs ago, and can not imagine someone of my size pre surgery wearing that top. So that was a little sad, but I got over it, and took my kids swimming in my old saggy suit!!!Hopefully a few more weeks and I will fit into it!
ANYHOW....I am now down 92 lbs since surgery, wich was 5 months ago on the 29th, so am happy about that...I would love to lose the last 8 until my 100 pound loss goal before I go for my 6 month check up on May 27 so I have been really working at that....

FANTASTIC job Angie...you are rocking girl...100 pounds in six months, incredible!!!!

as for walmart - dont worry about it - i can no longer shop at reitmans cuz the smallest size there is a 3 - and way too big...but walmart, i can wear a 5 or 7 at times, so their sizing is strange, same with their shoes, i wear 10 or 11's there and 8 -9 elsewhere

great job girl
