What an awesome nsv!!!! You should be incredibly proud of yourself for this!!!
What a great feeling, eh? Being 71 lbs from your weight you were... Just think about what a relief it is for your body to not have that extra weight around anymore!
You're doing great, definitely an inspiration for me!

I'll be 5 months out on the 17th and I've lost 51lbs since surgery...... 71lbs since the start of my 3 day liquid diet. My greatest challenge has been the stalls! My shortest being 1 week, the longest being 5 weeks!!
The big things I've noticed are my confidence and things I'm able to do that I never could have done before! I carried a 50lbs child piggyback for 1km yesterday because she had blisters on her feet and I wanted to get the daycare kids home before it poured rain..... it was only after we'd gotten back that I realized what I'd accomplished!!

My greatest challenge is getting restriction right. I can't figure how some times the same food is OK than others not so much. This lose is going much slower than I thought it would and getting it right is harder.
I am actually eating worse in some ways now. I have never eaten so many sauces trying to get solid proteins down.

My greatest challenge is getting off of a stall
that has lasted for almost two months now
. I cant break off of 224
. I emailed my nutritionist and explained to her its getting stressful. I walk two - three miles a day. I get in my fluids but as far as the protein goes I am just making it. This is more difficult than what I have expected but I am making it through day to day and praying for the best to happen.
My biggest difference is I have more confidence have more energy and I feel better about myself in general.

You are right 100 lbs is fantastic!!!
Not sure if you have tried it yet - but I have a pill box that I use for that.. I put my vitamins, meds and everything I need to take in each day and go from there. My goal is to ensure that I empty the box each day.
Maybe that could help?

That's wonderful that you've never really had any limitations due to weight, very few people have your kind of experience.
Sizes are so weird, aren't they? I mean all the different cuts and sizes and fabrics and stores.. it can be a lot to just know what size!! lol
I love Old Navy though, that is "my" storey ;) Almost everything in my closet comes from there.. I go and stock up on the day after Thanksgiving and Christmas, every year.. get a whole new wardrobe for next to nothing! :) DH says I can do some damage in there.. it's so true.
Congrats on that size 10, I can't wait to be in a healthier size with you! :) I'm in the same boat as far as the medications messing with weight loss - I take prednisone often, for RA flare ups.. and it can really **** me off when I gain weight because of it.. even if I change nothing I still get that weight gain!!!! I swear, sometimes I think my body is out to get me..
