5 1/2 months out----223lbs.--Down 90lbs!!

Feb 15, 2010

WHooo Hoooooo! I am down 90lbs now! I am so excited about almost losing 100lbs!  Only 23 more lbs. till I am in the One Hundreds!  I haven't been under 200 lbs. in over 10 years.  I am wearing a size 18 jeans, and an XL, 14/16 top.  I bought some sz 18 jeans from Lane Bryant a couple of weeks ago and I actually got sad because the smallest size they carry is 14/16 and I will most likely get there in a couple months. I have only really shopped at LB exclusively for the last 15 years!  I am finding the idea of shopping at "regular" stores a little daunting--BUT---I am sure willing to figure it out!!!!!  I feel smaller and have bought new clothes, but also have some old clothes floating around. I have t-shirts and sweatpants that I still wear but they are huge on me.  I have a lot more energy and aside from the symptoms that I am having related to my menopause, I feel great!!  Speaking of menopause, I did see the Radiation Oncologist and she didn't feel that I needed any radiation at this point. That is great news!  However I still have to make a decision about any long-term treatment I may need. It's a hard decision, and I am having trouble making it.  My doc told me to give it 3 months and I we can revisit it then. I am not in any immediate danger so that's why I have chosen to do a little more research. Regardless, I will be seeing my Oncologist every 3 months, where he will then be doing numerous tests on me.  All the tests that I have done so far (CT scan, Bone scan) all have come back negative!  So that is where I am at! I have yet to join a gym, and although I am a lot more active I know that I want to and NEED to join a gym!  On a side note: Today would have been my Mom's 65th birthday! She has been gone now for nearly 11 years and I miss her so much! She would be so proud of me right now! Happy Birthday Mommy, I love you and miss you so much.
