45 lbs and Green Zone! + NSVs

  • Popular Post

I had made a post recently that I was .5 away from having lost 45 lbs... today I have made it to 45!

My highest weight was 357. Surgery was May 6 and I was 350. I am now at 312!

My first fill of 4.5 cc out of 14 was June 3. I went in expecting to have my second today and was told my loss was way over average and there would be no reason to give me another.

It's so surreal to me that I've lost that much - too bizarre to process in my head.

I recently put up my first profile picture on Facebook that I've had in years. It wouldn't seem like a big deal to many, but it felt so good to be able to have a picture there I felt good enough about to share.

I know I was the creator of a very long "Miserable inside" thread a month ago... at 21 especially, this was a very difficult decision to make but I'm glad it worked out.

Thank you all who have been so supportive :) It's really appreciated and I hope we all can continue to inspire each other.

~Mark :)

This is such a great post Mark. I've been thinking of you all this time knowing what you were up against. I was also in the office yesterday...I wonder if we were there at the same time and just didn't know it. Congrats not just for the weight loss but for your attitude which has done a complete 180. I hope mom is soooooo proud of you. I know I am!

Wonderful! I'm sure she was just scared for you and didn't know what the future would hold. And now she knows everything is OK and is supporting you. Well...guess what? Turns out we were there at the same time. I had a 1:20 appointment. We were both sitting in the office together and didn't even know it.

Congrats! Tht is wonderful progress - you shld be super proud!!
