So happy with that number on the scale
Today I stepped on the scale, just out curiosity. I know my pants are getting really baggy.. looks like I have a loaded diaper in there LOL! Anyway, I stepped on the scale and for the first time in a very long time... it was BELOW 350! YAAAAY! I was so happy. I know I have a long way to go, but starting at 389 and going to less than 350 was a huge step (mentally) for me. My next victory will be when I'm below 300, the weight I was at before I had my daughter. :) I just had to share because I was pretty excited. It's so nice to see the scale moving in the OTHER direction for once. :)

You survived what you thought would kill you. Now straighten your crown and go forward like the Queen you are!
Talking about the scale going in the right direction...I needed a new winter coat because the one I had was just too big and was letting cold air in underneath it and I was freezing. Plus it looked huge on me! When I bought the new one, I actually got one that was on the small side. Now, in the past, I always would have gotten one that was a little big so I could grow into it. This time I'm getting it small so I can grow into it. Nice change!

I am so happy for you. I started at 385, and I remember thinking I'd never be below 350 again, much less under 300 or 200. But here I am 13 months later (10 months post op) and I'm about to cross the 200 mark. It won't be long and you'll be here, too.
The best is yet to come!
