Well, I was feeling "thin" this morning

and just had to break my cardinal rule of only weighing on Sunday mornings and guess what? I have finally lost over 200 pounds!!

Officially it is 201.5 pounds lost from my highest point and I had to shout it out from the rooftops and to the world. I am actually going to see my surgeon this afternoon for my 1 year post-op checkup and just feel really good. Below are some before / after photos that I had to share!!
Hope everyone is having an amazing day!!! Until Sunday...

Man, now that you mention it, I actually look taller than I used to when I was over 500 pounds!! Must be an optical illusion!
