GOOOOOAAAAALLLL!!!!

Hello VSGers!  It's been so long since I actually posted!  Life changes in a myriad of ways once the weight is gone.  At least it has for me!  i can't stay home...too much energy!  too much deferred living to do!  I go to the park - because I can run after my kids and play ball and Swing on the swings and slide on the slide.  it's awesome!  I rode a roller coaster for the first time in nearly 25 years with the daughter i'd been promising to ride with since she was 7 and I was too fat to do it. I completed a 5K walk.  I bought my first non-plus sized dress yesterday at a non plus sized store.  I can wear clothes from Target, which I never thought would be any kind of deal, but it's a HUGE deal to me.   No more paying $60 bucks for a shirt that should cost $6.00.  now I can actually pay $6.  

My total weight loss is THREE. HUNDRED. TWENTY. TWO. Pounds.  3-2-2.  322.  I can't even believe that number.  Ridiculous.   I am scheduled for a Circumferential Body lift on April 25th.  All this extra skin has got to go.  I can't lose anymore on my own since I am basically an empty bag o'bones.  I look great IN clothes, but I really want to look great OUT of them too, so I'll be moving into the next part of the journey.  Wish me luck!

 

 

Here I am with Dad and Grandma at my heaviest weight of 522lbs.

 

So GREAT !!!!!!

I am not sure I have ever read a better post on OH since I joined.  Seriously, you are what this is all about and I am just awe struck by you.

Wow!  Thank you so much for sharing your success!  Such an inspiration to me!

Thanks Frisco & Elina!  You guys might not know it but for the last 18 months, I have followed every one of your posts and many of them helped me get over what I thought were insurmountable hurdles.    I have followed the advice you've given and it has helped me so much.  Keep sharing your knowledge and experience!  Even if it seems like you are saying something for the THOUSANDTH time, it may be the first time someone is hearing it *****ally needs to.  

And Elina - Thanks for the soup recipe's!

Honestly, if I had the tiniest part in your journey, I am humbled beyond belief, and really moved  (to tears).  If I can ever do anything to help support you now or in the future please let me know and I will do it.  If you want to talk about plastics, let me know and we will talk it all out.  Your journey should be televised and you should walk into a room of hundreds of people to a standing ovation.  You are amazing.

Bottom line...... You did the work !!!!

That's how it happens !!!!
