Week 24 Weigh In (-56 pounds)

[bxbighurt]

Congratulations on your weight loss. I found your vided very helpful & most of all inspirational to me. I am going in for lapband on 11/11/09 and I am kind of nerveous about it. Thanks for the tips & I will let you know how I am doing.

Thanks & you look great

You are so right. Thias is exactly how I feel about Gastric bypass. Its a choice that is really hard and you do give up the things that you have loved all your life. Its definitely not the easy way out!

Thanks for this video. Im scheduled to have my surgery on June 1st, 2009. Im 5ft 8 1/2 inches, and currently weigh 220. My starting weight was 236. Its so true what you said about feeling fabulous at any size. i havent really set a goal weight as of yet,but im thinking somewhere in the area of 170-180. Im just trying to get healthy. Congrats on your New Pants size!! Thanks for being an inspiration. Support groups are great....i goto one in NYC.

You're doing great keep up the good work you look Fabulous! Question can you still be a plus size model if you are a size 12 I thought you had to be a least a size 14 and up. Any look forward to your next video

Thanks! Plus size modeling starts at a size 12 which is my goal. It will be a trip to get there. Smaller size plus size models are more marketable.

[smajors44]

Thanks! I talked to long of course and had to end it . It wasnt much more to say. I think it ran about another 39 seconds of me saying goodbye! I am sorry . I couldnt figure out how to put it in another. You got the meat of it though!

[redbigbabytalks]

[smajors44]

I am now at a 16. I would like to be a size 12. I started at a 22 and I am 5'8 and a half.

Great advice! We should all know how it feels to be FABULOUS. I think telling people about WLS is an individual decision..not telling does not necessarly mean we are ashamed..I don't tell alot of people because the people in my life will want to be too involved with what I do or don't put in my mouth...the few people I trust not to do that, I've told and I can talk all day about it with complete strangers. lol I just became banded and my choice may change over time. ~ Happy Mother's Day

[smajors44]

I agree and you pointed out something I overlooked. It is a personal choice to tell or not tell. I definitely agree that you have to tell those who are extremely supportive of you and keep the negative vibes away. Thanks for posting your point of view. It is extremely valuable! Happy Mama's Day to you too!
