Realization

We had our family holiday party last night and I had 2 wild realizations during the festivities!

1) The "gift of the year" was the scale I received that measures body fat %, body water % and weight.  Unfortunately, the scale salys my Body Fat percentage is still higher than it can count (could that be a new goal for me????). 

2)  My niece is home from college and I hadn't seen her since I had my WLS.  She did a double take when she came in and just looked at me.  I asked her for her current weight (which we then confirmed later on on the funky new scale)- and realized that I have lost a whole Katie!!

Very weird to think that you have lost a whole person- but made me feel really good!!  10 more pounds until I lose Linda Anne!!!

Sorry to ramble on, but I am just amazed!!

You are doing so great!  I want a new scale with body fat %, etc.  I can't wait to lose a Linda Anne too!

Congrats Reenie! I know how you feel...it's amazing! Over the holidays I learned that in 5 months I have lost a 10 year old relative...76 pounds! We joked that I should carry her around on my back all night! 
Have fun with the new scale and good luck loosing LA!

CONGRATS!!  You are doing an awesome job and the "wow's" are proving it!!!  Keep 'er up

Now, you had me almost ruin my computer with coffee that almost spued outta my mouth with this:
10 more pounds until I lose Linda Anne!!!

But hey!  I lost myself plus a little so you go girl!!!  10 pounds and counting!!!

Reenie,

You are doing such a fantastic job!  Ever since I met you at group in November, you have changed so much in such a short time.  You are definitely inspiring - especially with your dedication to exercise.  WAY TO GO....HOORAY!!!

You're going back to United tomorrow, right?  I'll be thinking of you while you have round 2 of your thyroid surgery.

Take care of yourself!

You go girl!  You are doing amazing and looking great! I'm starting my liquid diet day after tomorrow.  You are my inspiration so keep up the good work.  Heard that you're headed in for a different type of procedure.  You're in my thoughts and prayers! 

First of all - I LOVE your new avatar!!!  Your smile is amazing.

Think of how many kindergartners you've lost - must be at least two Linda Anne isn't much bigger than that, LOL

Keep up the good work and the positive attitude. 

Maybe we will see you at coffee on Saturday??? 

Great post! Love the new picture!! You actually have a face, it is beautiful!! Isn't is amazing how you can be excited about a scale! Of all things.......  Conrats on losing Katie!!

Thanks everyone- I really am having fun with this realization.

If all goes well at United tomorrow I am planning at being at coffee at West St. Paul on Saturday.  It is such a regular part of my week now- I think I would miss it too much if I didn't go!!

See you then!
