6 Months Out

Apr 11, 2010

I am 6 Months out today, April 12th, 2010.
I am now down to 225.5 lbs.  That is a loss of 147 lbs overall, 124 lbs from the actual surgery date.
My waist is now a 40.  I was a 42 at 5 months out, a 44 at 4 months out and 56 before I started this journey.
I am also now wearing 1X shirts and undershirts comfortably now.
Lots of folks who I haven't seen almost didn't recognize me.  It was a good feeling.
This past month I succeeded in losing more than the my wife weighs .
I also reach a mini goal of weighing less that 230 lbs.

I did have a stall where I had only lost 3 lbs in 12 days, but I just about made up for it during the last part of the month.

Looking forward to getting into the 30's waist size clothes soon hopefully and getting under 220 for sure for next month's check in.  I'll add a picture when I can get someone to snap a good one of me.
