I am down 111 lbs and 76 inches. It has slowed down a lot. The scale doesn't seem to move as much but the clotes are still getting bigger. Sooooooo frustrating. I don't think I have much more to lose though. I am happy with the way I look now with the exception of a little loose skin here and there 
. But anyway, the journey continues.

How unbelievable is that? 11 more pounds and I will have graduated from obese to just overweight. I am wearing a size 12 pants and M/L tops. I still look at the clothes in my closet and can't believe I can actually fit them. I haven't gotten used to not having to go to the big girls section in the store. I always go there first. I have been going through some old pictures and I cannot believe I was ever that big. I am sooo excited because I am going to see Jaime Foxx tonight. Of course I will be taking pictures, so I'll post them soon.

I am now wearing a 12/14 instead of a 26/28. I have matured in ways I didn't expect. And I have become a stronger person physically, emotionally and spirtually. I have learned so much about myself and I am on my way to becoming the person I was meant to be. I am so glad I did this.
What a week I've had

I finally made it to ONEDERLAND :) :) :) :)

I was going to wait until I was nine months out to write again (I'm 8 1/2 now), but I am soooooooooooooooooo excited, I just had to write today. As of this morning I am 199 lbs 
. (that's 86 lbs lost) 
I have been waiting for so long to get here and I finally made it. After stalling for 2 months, I thought I would never get here. Now I am happy. Anything more that I lose from here on out is just icing on the cake. My final goal is 150. But it really does depend on how I look. I may be happy at a higher or lower number. We'll just have to wait and see. Anyway, I just wanted to share my joy with you guys. I have posted new pictures, so check them out when you get a chance.
6 MONTHS OUT

. Apparently I'm in another stall because the scale just won't move 
. I just saw Dr Patel last week and he is very happy with my progress so I try not to worry about it. It's just so frustrating when you are doing everything right and the numbers don't move. I'll take new pictures soon.

67 pounds & 45 3/4 inches gone forever
So much has happened in the last month. I only lost another 4 1/2 pounds but I was in a stall for 3 weeks. I did lose 5 1/2 total inches and I am very excited about that. I also quit one job and started a new one. I really like the new job. There is almost no stress. I am so much happier. I posted new pictures. I can't believe how different I look. I am so glad I did this.
4 months out :) :) :)

I can't believe it. I am sooooooooooo excited. I'm still working out (3-4X/week). No problems eating. I saw Dr. Patel yesterday and I'm doing OK. My labs weren't really bad but they're not really good either. So we made a few adjustments with my supplements and I'll see him again in 6 weeks to see how I'm doing. Otherwise, I'm doing great. The first few weeks after the surgery I was really doubting my decision to do this. Now I am sooooooooooo happy and I wish I would have done it sooner.
