One year already!
Happy surgiversary to me! Tomorrow, actually, but I'm going to be busy so I'm posting early. I've lost a lot during the past year, but I've also gained a lot - energy, stamina, health, and my favorite - collarbones. I've also learned how to say no to unhealthy food (I had company last week who insisted that I needed a birthday party, and left me with 3 containers of ice cream in my freezer. They're still there, being slowly eaten by my son but I haven't touched them!) I am also talking to my niece about possibly doing the Color Run with her next time it comes by!
My favorite NSV by far came 2 weeks ago. My son went to FL to visit my dying grandmother, but I couldn't make the trip. He showed her a recent picture of me and she said, "Oh, she's beautiful!" My son teared up and immediately called me.
In the "before" photos I'm in a 24 top and 22 pants, and weigh around 279. In the "after" photos I'm 160, and in a 12 pants. The sweater is a medium but the brown & blue top is a small! There are more pics in my profile if these aren't too clear. Thanks to all the great people on this site for your advice, and being there when we need to vent!

You're looking good in those white pants, Milly! What a fantastic year you've had - and you're a better woman than me if you haven't touched any ice cream sitting in the freezer yet
