My Update

August 23, 2005 I had a Dr. appt. on yesterday to get my lab work completed. The first thing I wanted to do is to get on the scales because I had not been weighed since June 28th. Well, I got on those scales and the nurse set the scales at 400 but that was too much. Then she set the scales on 300 and started sliding down the numbers and the scales balanced at 364 lbs. I was so suprised and happy until I thought I was about to faint. I went to the Dr. on yesterday and I got the shock of my life. HERE ARE MY CURRENT WLS STATS 8 Months Post Op the 28th of this week Pre op weight went from 598 - 523 = 75 lb loss Post op weight went from 523 - 364 = 159 loss My BMI has gone from 107 - 71 Clothes size from 6/7X to 4X Shoes size from 10 WW to 9W Total loss - 181 lbs I now have 164 more lbs. to lose to reach my goal of 200 lbs. I have ten months to work this tool before the honeymoon is over. My Moto for the Month of September: I refuse to just sit ... I commit to be fit! Georgeann
