Century Club... On this.. the last day of the year!
I woke up and cried on my scale this morning. I had a goal of joining the Century Club by 2014 and when I still had 1.3lbs to lose yesterday.. I convinced myself it wouldn't happen and I was ok with it. Then I woke up to the scale at 177.2 this morning. 100.1lbs lost.
I am a few days of 7 months out. I did not buy into the "6 month honeymoon period" and this month.. I have lost 14.2lbs so far this month. The only month I have lost more was month 1!
I feel like a different person. I look like a different person. I no longer sit at home alone on the couch. I go out and have fun with my friends. I don't look around the room to see I am the biggest person there. I have a new boyfriend who thinks I am hot... scars, stretch marks and all.
My skin has held up pretty well. I have loose skin on my arms and thighs but it isn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. I still have about 27lbs more to lose so we shall see what happens.I have added a pic of me and my sisters from Sunday. I no longer feel like the fat sister who doesn't fit in! There are before pics in my profile!

Wooohoooo, Alana! You have done a terrific job at this and looks so BEAUTIFUL! I hit the 100 lbs. lost (including pre-op loss) yesterday but I'm not quite ready to claim it yet because I had the flu for the last 4 days. Expect I might get some bounce-back now that I can keep down all the fluids :-)
Here's to a fantastic 2014 for you!

Congrats!!!! I agree with you about the honeymoon period. Yes, statistically that is when the loss tapers off for the average person... but it is for reasons that are entirely within your control. If you keep to plan and fend of complacency certainly continue weight loss will be the reward. I had no issues with weight loss in the 7th and 8th month until I hit goal. Now, when I choose to pull off a few pounds it has not been an issue. So, stay with it and great job!!
