Highest Weight in 2009: 453 lbs (highest overall weight 570 lbs in Oct. 2008)
Current weight: 241 lbs
Goal Weight: my surgeon set my goal at 250, I changed it today to 220 lbs
Total weight loss: (this year 212 lbs, overall since wls Oct. 2008 329 lbs)

Best WOW moment so far: I haven't really had any thus far but in the last week I have had two.
1. Thanksgiving day I was replacing the touch pad on my brother-in-laws laptop and placed the laptop on my lap.  I haven't had a usable lap in 20+ years, since high school.
2. I put a shirt on and it was a 2x and it was loose and that was with two drain bulbs and dressing and binder.

Size at beginning of year: I started this year in a size 7X shirt and size 54 pants.
Current size: 2X shirts and size 42 or 44 pants

Nothing really life altering this year but I did get a panniculectomy and a hernia repaired this month and that was a big think for me.

Just crossed the 100lbs lost line!  Started at 302lbs and weighed in today at 199.  My Dr's goal is 150lbs but I'm aiming for 135lbs (but maybe that will have to be post plastics ).  I was wearing women's 26/28 when I had the surgery but just bought my first 16w pants and they fit great.  Bought a pair of Misses size 16 jeans for my next goal.  I was pleasantly surprised to see how close I am to wearing them (in public).

The best wow moment has been on many occasions people do not recognize me.
I also can go anywhere and people do not stare at me like they used to.
 I started in a size 26/28 and now am in a size 14-16

I also am 7 1/2 weeks pregnant with baby #4. I wasn't quite ready for that to happen. I am scared about weight gain, because my other 3 pregnancies are how I got so overweight in the first place. But I guess it is all in God's plan. I hope everyone is doing well, and continue to have success on their weight loss journey's.
