3 months out (with pictures I hope)
Hello everyone!
The last 3 months have flown by! It took me about 5 1/2 weeks to get my energy back but once I did I started exercising with a vengeance. I have a 5K coming up on 1-26 and I am so excited about it. My highest weight was 278; surgery was 249; today 200.8. I have lost 45.25 inches. I can no longer wear my wedding ring which is weird because I was a 7.5 even at 160 pounds. Now I am a 6.5. I started in a 22/24 pants and a 2X shirt and now I am in a 16 pant and a L/XL shirt. I have 26 pounds to my first goal of 175 but I may change it to 164 since that gives me a healthy BMI. I actually have hope that I can get that low for once in my life! I am 5 foot 8. After boot camp in 2002 I weighed 167 and looked amazing! Here's hoping. Thanks for all the support and I am on the boards daily.
The first picture is the night before surgery at 249 on 10-2-12 and the second is last night 1-2-13 (which was my 8th wedding anniversary too!) I don't know why the pictures are so big, lol.
