Week 25...Early Six Months Checkup Status

Hello Beloveds! Today I went in for my six months check up. My doctor said I am a superstar! I am above average for weight loss and all my bloodwork is right on target. I am healthy and most of all happy!:confused:

 

Today I went to get gas from a station I visit weekly. When I got to the window the lady looked real hard at me and said...you are Laura, Right? I said yes, you know me. She said NO I DID NOT! You look fantastic. For the last couple of weeks it's been cold here so I was wearing one of my older (too big) coats when pumping. Today was warm so she got to see me in regular clothes! I felt fantastic! How wonderful is that progress?:angry:

 

I promised I would report to you how my Colonic went last week. I know it sounds gross but it's really not. After my colonic I felt lighter and less bogged down. What I learned is it is best to have them in 3. So I go in for my 2nd one this Friday and then my last one for the season before thanksgiving. It was worth it for me.

 

For the first time in YEARS I shopped on the normal side of the clothing store. Need I say more?:)

 

I am wearing heels now! I would not touch them when I was 280lbs! Now I can wear them and wear them all day with no issues!

 

My surgery was May 21st, 2009 and I am proud of myself for using this tool to it's fullest advantage!

 

I am now 195lbs and have lost 85lbs! My goal 165-170lbs

 

LOVING LIFE AND MYSELF!:wub:
