Major Milestones

Jun 23, 2011

Here I am now just over 3 months post-op and very happy that I can mark off the first 4 milestones on my list  :)

1)  100 lbs loss since my heaviest (405 lbs).
2)  Get out of the 300's.
3)  100 lbs loss since consultation with surgeon.
4)  Reach and pass my halfway point.

So now currently 282  which means 123 lbs total loss so far and and now 'JUST' 97 lbs to go until I reach my optimum weight of 185 lbs with a BMI of 25.

Next 2 milestones are getting down to the 30's on my BMI (currently 41.7) and reaching 100 lbs loss since date of surgery, so 22 lbs to go on that one but might take me a while as weight loss is definitely slowing down right now.... I must join a Gym in the next couple of weeks.

Clothes!!!
I'm sure everyone going through this process knows how lost we start to feel in our clothes as our frames get smaller and I just treated myself to 2 new pairs of jeans... I did still need to go to the big guy store but this will be the last time. I had dropped 10inches from my waist meaning I had gone from a size 60 to a 50 but 'normal' stores stop at around 46, but thats not far away from me now.  Shirts are another matter though and as much as I dread to mention the word 'Walmart' I did decide to try a couple of cheap T-shirts (3x) from there and YES they fitted very well, a welcome change from the 30+ dollar Tee's at the big guy store.

Next thing is to try and find some cheap collared shirts for work - maybe Walmart again, who knows.... no point buying expensive clothes right now when they wont fit in another few months.
