Well, it finally happened...the number I've been hoping to see for a very long time.

I stepped on the scale this morning to see the most amazing sight-my weight no longer starts with a "2".

I stepped on the scale, I stepped off, I stepped on, I stepped off-wait, maybe the scale is being blocked by the rug or something, I stepped on again, I stepped off-wait, maybe the battery is dead or something, I stepped back on one more time (just to make sure I wasn't hallucinating or something) and sure enough, the number was still the same! I came downstairs with tears in my eyes to share the news with my husband who has stood strong by me through my WLS journey.

This has been a very slow journey for me with a few detours along the way and I have worked very hard for each and every pound. My three year bandiversary is approaching and I've been working really hard because I wanted to hit my goal of coming off the "obese" category in the height and weight chart.

I'm 2.5 pounds away and I have about three weeks left.

I am not the same person I was when I started my journey. I am a person who exercises. I am a person who speaks her mind-not trying to stay in the background anymore. I am a person who logs her food-honestly and completely. When I look at what this body of mine is capable of doing now versus 3 years ago, I am a very proud woman...

Just had to share today.

Wonderful! Great, great post! Thanks for sharing your inspirational day!

I'm so happy for you! Congratulations and here is to continued success!!!!

Great news, so happy for you!!

Oh I remember the day well... Congrats dear on such a huge accomplishment. I like how you are looking for lots of goals (ie bmi goals etc) and not just scale numbers. It just makes the whole process a continual reward system. Keep up the great work hi 5

Congrats to be in the 100's club!

You should be proud! That is a big accomplishment!!

Thank you for reminding us that the process can be a slow one....but with mindfulness and keeping our eye on the prize...it can be done! I love this post and I too have been in "Onderland" for several weeks now. It's almost unbelievable for me....but I plan on staying there.....not creeping back again! Congrats!!

Woohoo is right! In my mind, I'm doing back flips.

Congratulations and welcome to the club!

How exciting!! I found myself laughing out loud when you described your pleasant surprise at the scale!! I love reading threads like this, it just confirms my decision of getting banded.

what a great feeling......well done

Congrats! Well done
