Okay, I did it!!! I am now 150 pounds. Half of what I was at my highest weight.  But now, of course, I want to do better.  So I am going to aim for 140 and see how long it takes me to get there. There are so many things I can do now that I could not do just two short years ago.  I can play tag with my kids, go for a jog, walk up to my third floor apt without getting winded. It's amazing to me how I ever lived with all that extra weight on me.  Never again!!!!!!!!!

I weighed in at under 160 lbs this week for the first time in almost 17 years. I still can't believe it lol. Changed my goal from 165 to 150....and it looks like i might really get there!!!!!

On October 17th I had a panniculectomy and got rid of a bunch of junk below the belly.  I dropped another whole pant size. I have now gone from a  size 28 to a size 12.  I am 2 pounds under my goal weight (though now I have a new goal of 150 lol) and I feel wonderful. The surgery went well and I have no complications.  I still see myself much heavier that I actually am, but I'm sure alot of people who have lost such a significant amount of weight are the same way. Hugs and blessings to all.

Finally after another super long stall i have lost again...isnt it funny how excited you still can get over 1 silly little pound (especially when you have lost over 100 pounds). But anyway...doing my happy dance over here lol.

neck             13.25"
bust              39.50"
waist             38.00"
hips              46.00"
thigh             24.00" x 2
upper arm     12.00" x 2
forearm         10.00" x 2
calf               16.25"  (gained 3/4"...must be all that walking lol) x 2
ankle             9.75"  x 2
wrist              6.75 " x 2

That makes a 23.75 more inches lost, for a total of 71.5"  .
Weight loss of 106 pounds.
BMI went from 47.6 to 30.0.
Size went from 26/28 to a 14/16.
AND I'M NOT DONE YET LOL!!!!!!

Took measurements last night. I am two months out now and as of last night I have lost 24.75 inches.  That is combined from neck, bust, waist, hips, thighs, calves,upper arm, and forearm.  I am down 55 pounds now and feeling better.  Havent been this low in weight for about 10 years.  Cant wait for the next 50 to come off lol. 

I am 8 weeks out tomorrow and have lost 34 pounds.  That added to my preop weight loss means I am down a total of 52 pounds.  I have lost the weight equal to my four year old son lol.  I ran on the treadmill this past weekend.  Before surgery I could only run maybe two minutes if I pushed myself.  This weekend I ran a half mile.  It doesnt sound like a lot, but for me.....it's a huge accomplishment lol.  Give me a couple months and I will be running a mile at a time lol.  Each wow moment I have is one step closer to being the happy healthy person I am striving to be.

I got on the scale this morning and have finally started to lose again.  I lost three pounds over the weekend so my first stall is over and done.  I know there will be more, but now I know I will make it through them lol.
