Scale and Non Scale victories

Well, I am about 3.5 months out from my surgery.  I call myself a stair step loser cause I will lose then be flat for 1-3 weeks then drop again and repeat. I still have trouble drinking regular water and struggle to get in my 2 liters a day.  Most days I am lucky to get in 1 liter a day, plus the tea I drink in the morning.  Well today I got on the scale and dropped 2 lbs.  Very excited about that.  I have lost a total of 43.5 lbs since surgery and have 46 lbs to go till I reach my goal...almost half way there. 

I haven't measured in a while, so I did my measurements and boy did I get a surprise.  I lost 8.25 inches off my body since the last time I measured.....and I did the math and found out I have lost 23.25 inches off my body since I first measured about a week after surgery.  I started out wearing a size 20 and am now in a size 12 comfortably.  I am 11 lbs away from 165 lbs, the lowest have been during the past 8 years, but my goal is 130 or a size 4-6. 

So excited to see the progress!  I am not a fast loser, but I am steadily losing....and love that I have lost so much in inches.  I will have to figure out how to post pics soon and do some before and after pics on here since seeing others pics are so inspiring to me!

Congrats, I think I might be the same way a stair step loser. A loss is still a loss slow or fast.

UH, you ARE a fast loser ! You have very high expectations for yourself !!! You have done fabulously and I'm sure you will continue to do so !!! Yeah for you !!!

I wish I had done this surgery when I weighed in low 200's instead it was high 300's bummer!!!!!!!!! You have done great and I pray you reach your goal soon!!

Awesome and inspiring... way to go...
