Here they are - size 10, 163 lbs. a little tight but I can zip and button them.

My friend found the picture of me 2 years before surgery. I'm not sure what I weighted but I weighted more right before surgery. I think I might have weighed 225-230.

I went on a hike up a mountain to the peak to watch the sunset with someone who is way taller and fitter. The hike down was in the dark, with headlamps and flashlights. I set the pace and we made great time. 6 or so miles round trip 2200ft elevation gain - and I rocked it...woo hoo!!!!

I went to a family potluck last weekend. There was a family friend there that I haven't seen in a while. He said "When did you get so tall?" I thought it was because I was wearing heels, but then I figured out he was saying (in a nice way) that I wasn't so WIDE. It was cute!

Hi all. I am now down roughly 60 pounds and seven weeks out from when I started my liquid pre-diet. Am also having some awesome NSV moments. Some are:

[*]No longer wearing 3x shirts. They are packed and ready to be taken to Goodwill.

[*]My size 48 (expandable) pants? Gone too.

[*]Can button my pants at my belly button. No more "slant pants."

[*]I wore a much smaller belt...and it was a new one!

[*]Went three days this past week without needing a mid day nap.

[*]Three days now without any slimes or throwing up.

[*]Joined a local health club to work out.

[*]Snoring is all but gone. No more BP meds at all (125/65 is normal now). And BMs much more normal and less stressful.

[*]Bought myself an I-touch. That was my 50 pound loss gift to myself. Any suggestions for the 100 plateau?

That's a short list' date=' but ones that come to mind.

Please, share yours!

Let's look at the fact that this journey is not just about the weight loss, but about all the wonderful things that continue to happen along the ride! :001_tongue:[/quote']

I think you should get yourself a Mustang Shelby at 100 lbs.

My daughter and son in law is staying with us for a month awaiting their flight to china. He is 6'7" muscular and clearly has an athletic build. He also eats an unbelievable amount of food, but that is besides the point. My wife was doing laundry and I just moved into large sized underwear and turns out i bought hanes which is the same thing he wears. we could not tell his apart from mine! when i see me I do not see myself being the same size as him, but there it is.

Still waiting for a change in clothing size, but...this morning I put on a shirt that I don't wear a lot because it bunches above my [extensive] hips. Today the tail of the shirt slid right down over my hips/jeans and is hanging straight all the way down. Woo hoo! Sometimes it's the little things that make all the difference!

I mowed my front yard and it only took me 20 mins instead of 45mins!! Plus my yard is very steep so I was so happy with that. Plus I can now bend down and touch the ground which I haven't been able to do in years. Can I just say I'm over the moon!!!!

I can get my fingers around my wrists again! I also can no longer rest my laptop on my tummy. I have to say that the tummy desk is kind of missed. :unsure: I will gladly trade it for a flat stomach though!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
