Onederland, baby!
Just had to get it out there! Had my 3 month surgeversary a couple days ago and today, the scale read 199.4! I'm so excited. Over 75 pounds down and only about 25 to go! I don't want to jinx myself, but I think I can do this by March! I never really thought I would get to this point, but I'm actually thinking about stopping points and next steps. Crazy. Originally, I thought I'd be happy if I made 200, ecstatic if I made 185, but 175 was my reach goal. But that still leaves me a little off normal bmi (about 165). But I think I will look emaciated at 165. We'll just have to see if I have a chance to find out...
Love the sleeve. Wish I would have done it earlier. Not that there aren't some negatives (like being cold all the time...I'm dying in this weather and I just bought a space heater for my office), but absolutely nothing even close to counteracting all the positives.
Good luck everybody, and stay positive and focused!

Wow. Congratulations on making it to Onederland so fast. You are doing great. Nice job working that sleeve. I agree about the cold - its been nasty here, but its going to warm tomorrow, and the weekend should be above freezing, I'm really tired of winter already, and its only early January.
best wishes,
Carol
