6 month accountability check-in (kinda long)

Yesterday, June 5 was my 6-month "surgeriversary.:" I can't figure out how to upload images, but here we go on the other facts:

2-week start weight: 308
Surgery weight: 290
Current weight: 210
SW Pant size: 26/28
Current: 16/18
Top: 4x-5x
current: 18/20

I did not hit my goal of 100#'s by my 6th month; I'm still mourning the loss of much hair; but I love the smaller pants, not wheezing when I walk, and the fact that I'm off all RX drugs and just Women's One-a-Day and Calcium... that's it! wow!! Who'd a thunk???!!! :) I go for my 6th month dr appt next week so hopefully, I'll hit the 100 lb mark by then.. BUT if I don't, I'm so close I can smell it!!

I cannot believe how much of my body has changed. I do not exercise as regularly as I should, but I am exercising 3-4 times a week for 40-50 minutes. Running a marathon is not one of my goals, but riding a bike around Mackinac Island is - which I hope to do on vacation in August.

I've learned this is 90% mental that requires me to monitor bad old habits.

There's a contemporary song with the line, "I will never be the same again. I can never return. I've closed the door." And that is exactly how i feel... I will NEVER be the same again.

Good luck and all the best on your journey!!!
