Hi Kids-- Been so busy here hadn't posted in a while. Best wishes to all. Glad to see everyone progressing. I am 5 months, 2 weeks out today. And I hit 150lbs. gone this afternoon! As of today, I weigh 239. I was 389 the morning of my surgery. My target weight is 220, so I only have 19 lbs. to go. The cool part is I have really upped my meals. My nutritionist upped me to 6 meals and I am still dropping. The key is the exercise. I am a machine. As I eat more I am feeling better and still dropping. Quite an amazing deal. Jill-- I doubt I can do that 5k with you, but I signed up my son and me for the one here in Portsmouth. Now let's just see if he can keep up with me. I am down to 36" waist, which is what I was wearing in the 8th grade. I just picked up some golf shirts for work, and I am wearing a L. Here are pics from today: Front View Side View (featuring a Clare cameo)

I had weight loss surgery. I did it the easy way.

Blair, that is AWESOME news. You have come so far in a short time. You truly are an inspiration to those of us that are only a week or so out and only 15lb or so down. Knowing how much you lost gives me hope. Thanks for sharing.

Blair - That is AWESOME! I am SO happy for you!!!! Glad to hear that your nutritionist upped your meals. I figured that she would, based on our conversation. One thing that I have found, and continue to learn, is that the program they put us on really does not fit those of us who are extremely active - so we have to play more with the food part of the program. In fact, my nutritionist said that I have the opposite problem of most of her patients - haha. i eat too little calories and carbs in comparison to the workouts. BUT...I'm working on it! Anyways...I'm VERY proud of you. You have done an amazing job!
