For the love of....

my daughter. She informed me yesterday that I have not updated my page on here.  She keeps track of me this way as she is 3 hrs away. She says all I ever do is post funny things and poems. She is a numbers person and needs stats!

So, I will try and keep this on a serious tone and post some facts.

As of today I have lost a total of  71 pounds in approx 4.5 months.
I am into a size 16 pants (down from a snug 22)
My shirts are a 16-18 (down from a 22-24 or 2, 3 X)
My shoes are a size 7 to 7.5 (down from an 8)
My ring size is down to a 6 (from a size 8)

All in all I have some wonderful numbers,with more to come. I am around  31 pounds off of the doctors goal for me. Mine and his goal don't meet head on. I think I need to have a few more pounds then that, to get me out of the over weight bench mark. I do not plan on having any plastics done unless medically needed. I think I can afford to go smaller on the scale with that in mind.

I hope this finds everyone doing well, eating right and enjoying what our new lives have to offer!!

Very impressive, Kelly! You look wonderful! Have you changed your hair color since surgery or is it merely the lighting? Either way, your hair really suits you. What a beautiful color. The rest of you looks great too!

Thanks!
Yes, the color is different- LOL I had not thought of that. Before summer (last) I made up my mind I was going to implement some changes before surgery. I cut off my long hair and went dark. I THOUGHT this would cut the red in my hair. NOT, it seeped through even the walnut brown. I am back to my color of hair for the most part. People who don't hair curly hair,red hair etc.. always want what they don't have. I guess I am no different lol
