Irela,
Isn't it a great feeling to be shrinking? You are doing a great job and I am happy for you. I try not to be obessed with the scale and it is hard. Kelly always says it is the measurements that count. They show the true loss.

Rock on Sista'. You are doing so great! Almost 2 feet, isn't that just amazing? No only the weight from the scale, but the shrinking body too!

CONGRATULATIONS!

When you're feeling like the scale is not cooperating, just go take your measurements!

Good job!! As far as I'm concerned, inches are more important.

Irela,
That is so great. I never did measure myself prior to surgery so I have no idea how much has come off. I've lost 88 lbs so I'm sure the inches would be pretty cool too. Keep up the good work! Big hugs.

That's great progress - the inches really do make a huge difference. When I talk to my friends, they all agree that the 85 inches that I've lost is much more indicative of how much my body has changed. Thinking that everyone was at least a foot farther away from me during hugs is a mindbender!

Keep up the great work!
