      I'm sorry you have to go through that but I hope you'll feel better on the other side of it.

  2. What an exciting milestone for me! I am no longer obese on the BMI chart. As of this morning, I have hit the overweight section of the chart. I cannot wait until I get into the healthy portion. The last time I was not considered obese or morbidly obese was when I was 24 years old. That is over half my life! Woot woot!

      How exciting. And there's more good news to come.

      It's going to get even better. Watch out for shopaholism. It got me, it might get you, too.

      You should celebrate your success with a fun reward. You deserve it. I bought new clothes at milestones or had a mani/pedi.

      Seeing what a good bra does for me makes me want to trash all my other ones.

      I've been invisible for so long that I'm pretty surprised when men actually look my way.

  12. Cannot believe that 6 months out, I am 11 pounds from my goal! 78 pounds gone!

  13. Do you count / track the calories in your vitamins and supplements?

    1. IcanMakeit

      IcanMakeit

      No. I started out doing that and then decided it was not really necessary since I only use sugar free.

  14. I gained 3 lbs in 24 hrs, my body is a tease

  15. Another #NSV: Everyone says my "face looks thinner" - it's nice to receive compliments I wasn't getting before!!! :-)

  16. #NSV I was recently able to buy smaller clothing sizes!! I went from a size 26/28 in Avenue to a size 18/20!!! :-D

  17. I was even cuter today!! Just in case you were wondering.

  18. Yup. I looked good today. That's my motivation to keep the weight off.

  19. Anyone feel exposed and naked without your weight as a barier from people? Or is it just me?

      Jenn1, they always could see your flaws, but now they can also see your success. When you stand in front of the audience, remind yourself of how awesome you are and tell yourself that few in the audience could do what you have done.

  21. Officially down 100 lbs as of today! Doing the happy dance !

  22. Just want to report that my infected incision site is now well. I am tolerating thin liquids better than befor and am on a soft food diet. Certainly has improved my mood to put something recognizable in my body. No real complaints. 29 lbs down and already my blood pressure is much improved and so has my sleeping. I am blessed and happy.
