Robin - congrats on your success! I am so happy for you! You look great in your picture - but you looked great before, too! Keep up the great progress!

I have to admit I am a little jealous! I'm loosing so much more slowly than you, and I had the surgery before you!!! And, I can't see my collar bone yet.....yes, I'm shallow, I realize this! Therefore, because it's shallow, my jealousy in no way takes away from my happiness for your success!!!

it kinda sucks that first time you catch yourself able to eat - i was feeling so bad about myself the day i ate and ate - but really when i sat down and thought about it - i know i didnt eat as much as i did before surgery but it was a lot compared to 2 months ago when i couldnt eat more than a bite - so i too beat myself up a little and than got on my eliptical trainer that night and the next morning annd amazed myself with doing 30 minutes instead of 20...the scale does move much slower now - i reviewed my numbers over the last 5 months and saw from jan to feb i only lost 3 lbs but than from feb to the march lost 11 lbs - so i had my first big stall - it was just a mean scale because my clothes were showing me something different - i went froma 14 to a 12 and in stretch can now wear an 8 yes an 8 in jeans with a little stretch but if they have no stretch at all i cant i need an 12 still but no longer a 14 no longer a 20 which is what i started in....and i feel SO good i LOVE to shop! went to Khols again this weekend - i have SO many clothes...my husband says i have lost my mind because the clothes i bought will not fit me in a month but i think they will - hopefully - just keep your chin up robin i am sure you will lose a size during your stall keep measuring!

Smile Robin

All I have to say to you is you are a truly amazing woman. I know I don't see you much or even talk to you all that much, but my life is so much better because you are in it. I can't wait to see you again!

Robin, my words may be of little consequence, but I have seen you with your children. I have seen you with your honey and I have seen you with yor daddy! You ARE an amazing woman. I suppose , in a sick way, I thank your mom for helping you become the awesome example of a happy, married, mommy! No only the weight loss success you've had, but you the person....that is why I look up to you! I miss you soooo much.....move HERE, would you please!
Your insights are a great help to many many of us....but most of all, I am glad they are a help to you too! Thank you for opening up. (I'm too chicken) lol Love you sweetie! Thanks for being one of my best friends.

Linda... my lil buttercup, you are my rock. You and Bridget are my voices of reason in the dark. I am so grateful to have you both in my life. It's so nice to just be me, to never be judged, and to have your beautiful spirit with me. I miss you so much! I told you... I officially HATE your new job! LOL Hopefully you can find some time to come visit me, and you know next time I come down, I'll make time to see you! I love you!

Well, right back at ya sweetie. I haven't had the bestest of friends in a while...I have been too busy getting married, divorced and remarried and working on all that #$%$ for too long so it is a real TREAT to have good girlfriends like you and Bridget....Nancy too....Julez is great.., Donna too....wow...I can go on and on too! These ladies ( and few guys BigDave inculuded) are the sweetest ever. All I know Robin....is I wanna be you when I grow up! I love you dearly and don't see you near enough!
