Sorry it has been so long since posting....it has been hectic on this end. Bill's sister in law died, and it was like picking off a scab from Hannah's death. Been very busy and most days just too pooped to do anything but the bare bones when I get home. Hopefully, with the hire of a new person at work, things will be a tad better.....so how is the weight doing now?

Hi Mel,
Happy New Year..Checking in. How you doing? Eveything good? Sure hope so.
I need about 20 lbs off now, and am guessing it will be about 5 lbs a month or so... hard to say. A few? haha Christmas cookies may have slowed me down.
I am starting back to college around MLK. Have to see my enrollment first May zip to FL for a week or so...not sure yet. Take care. Janet

Hey Mel,
Well I am down 6 lbs this morning. I guess it was water retention. How weird. I was ready to call my surgeon and say "Something Broke...Fix it!!" I sure thought I would be down 5 lbs by now..closer to Onederland... a little set back and I guess, no more Double Bite Chips. Rats! How I loved them. Have a good labor Day!!

HI
No clue on the weight... I get weighed Sun and THurs a.m and forgot on Sun. so my "rule" is wait til THurs. My daughter thinks this is so funny.
We have heard the roads to the shore are open and are going down soon to see what the inside damage might be. Say a big prayer. THanks. Janet

Thanks, Mel. "When are you due?" God help me. My weight wasn't in the front, but the butt and upper thighs. But the bat wings, well.... they will have to go. Don't think I can stand them. We are watching Irene with great interest right now. It looks horrible. We don't have hurricanes -last were when I was 5? Say a big prayer.

I was shooting for a 16... can't fathom being in a 12..but if I do lose 45? more pounds I guess it is a possibility. If you are a 10/12 and my height, you are a slim, trim gal.
CONGRATS!!!!

Hi Mel, Just added you to my friend list, You LUCKY PERSON. We should have done it sooner. Add me to yours? If you cant let me know and I will try to figure out sending you a request... (I am such a dweeb.) Thanks. JANET

Can't believe you are considered a medium, but if so, maybe I am dreaming..maybe I am medium too. The weight of 160 for me is so hard to imagine.
I bought a pair of pants at Good WIll. I dropped off a bag of clothing and thought "what the heck?" I had bought some things for work but still wanted a pair of brown pants. Got Alfred Dunner..size 20 (with pockets in front)...3.99. Washed them and they are fine for now. I have a few things to mix and match. Seem to be at a stall...but I keep on truckin'.

Thank u its been so hard to get this far and it seems like the fight to stay down here size wise will be harder I feel like cryn but I know I have a lot of support thanks again where do u live

Hey Mel,
I was thinking about your post... are you too thin? How do you feel? Do you like the way you look? I think we are the same height...for me 160 is too low. I dream to be in the 180s. Even now people are saying "You are so thin..."well..not the case, but I have always "carried weight well" due to my height..and I always weigh "more" due to my build. A size 11 1/2 shoe seems to indicate my "big bones"...Dad was 6'5"...size 14 shoe.. "big feet family."
Your pics looks great to me... as long as you are comfortable and happy...don't worry about the others.
Are you feeling ok now? tip top again? What a relief!! Stay in touch.
