I'd quit talking about my weightloss stats, removed them from my siggy, etc. because I know that reading loss stories can be hurtful if you're someone who isn't losing, and hey - it doesn't hurt me any to not have it advertised. But now I'm thrilled & not holding this one in so if that's you, don't read this post.
I'm 2.5 months post-op.
:dance: As of this morning's weigh-in I have "officially" (as officially as my home scale gets, anyway) lost 33% of my excess weight!
:dance: I have gone from needing to lose exactly 200lbs to needing to lose 134lbs!
:dance: My BMI has gone from 56.4 to 47!
:dance: I'm within 15 - 20lbs of reaching the weight I was at 2 years ago on Atkins, which was the lowest I'd been in about 8 years!
:dance: Having the "left to lose" number start with a 1 makes this seem so much more attainable!
:dance: Soon my "left to lose" number will be double digit!
:dance: I have gone from tight sz 34 jeans to a comfy sz 26 jeans! That's 4 sizes!
Ok, composure regained...
