6 months
Six months ago I had my surgery. Time has flown by and so much has happened. I went back to work after 3 weeks to find out my job had been eliminated. I was totally shocked. I collected unemployment through most of the summer. Loved being off work and able to walk every day. Found a better job with more pay and lot less stress. Started 5 weeks ago. Went for my 6 month check up yesterday. I am down 64 lbs since surgery and 102 since I started this journey in December of 2012, I am now in the normal BMI range!! I can not remember ever being this weight before. I started in a size 2X-3X, 22W to I can now fit in some size 8-10 pants!! Never in a million years would I think I could be at this weight. Sorry to ramble on, just wanted to share my story.
I understand exactly what you are saying. My first 6 months have flown by too. I keep looking in the mirror and wandering how much longer this "miracle" can work. I still have 60-70 pounds to go before I reach a healthy BMI. As long as I stick with the plan, I still loose weight. I'm glad for the additional time to get good habits ingrained in my normal eating habits.
keep it up!!! This is a wonderful tool we have.
Thanks..I too think how much longer can this miracle keep working. Keep up the great work and the rest will come off.
