Who would've though 290 is so nice?

Well, I started at 381. today I am 4 months out and weigh 290. 91 pounds!! Wow! When I think of it like that, it is amazing, even though I frequently get discourage and think I am losing slow. I even lost 2 pounds on Thanksgiving! Every day at work I get comments. A guy on an opposite shift made a point of coming to see me and telling me I was beautiful. 290 is still enormous, I know, but I feel so much better. I am a size 22 now, in real jeans!! No stretchy waists! I am even going to the company Christmas parts, in a dress and high heels, no less. Well, hopefully it will get better. My cholesterol was 145 before surgery, which is not bad, but now it is 103. My blood pressure was about 120/80 before, now 110/60. The diabetes is gone. I have low iron, low vitamin d, low folates and low potassium, but I am now on supplements and B12 shots and my energy is increasing. Good luck to all! Carrie

CONGRATULATIONS CARRIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU GO GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SANDRA A.

Carrie, I felt that way when I got under 300 as well. Congratulations, enjoy the journey! Did the doctor give you tips on improving your nutritional status? This stuff is serious. Lori 384/272/170

beans Carrie!!!! You are doing great!! Thanks for the inspiration!!! Have a great weekend, Carol V

hi carrie. congrats on the newest number. your headline says it all. i started at around 450 and when i dropped under 300 about a week ago, had trouble believing it. i'm still terrified that it's only a dream and the scale will go back up. kudos, as well, on the improved blood pressure, etc... i'm glad you're addressing the nutrional shortages. as someone said before me, they're really, really important, too. thanks for sharing your happy news. dorthe

Keep up the good work Carrie Anita
