Major goal reached - time to party!

Ok, folks. I've been waiting to be able to say this....are you ready? I am officially half way to my desired weight loss goal. I wanted to lose 100 lbs and I have hit the 50 lb loss mark. Yeah! Party! Party!

My surgery was April 13th, so it took less than 4 months! I have nothing but good to say about getting the sleeve and my health:

1) Off the sleep apnea machine

2) From a 3X to 18/20 clothes.

3) Didn't lose any hair (that I noticed anyway)

4) Knees & feet not hurting so much anymore.

5) Self-confidence boosted

6) Can feel my bottom rib cage bone!

7) Can play and work harder and longer!

8) Hubby thinks he's died and gone to heaven.

9) Sleep better at night; hips don't hurt.

I could go on and on.....

LIFE IS GOOD!!!!!!

Thank you everyone for attending my "milestone party"! It is so great to be able to share it with you all. My sister just saw me for the first time since May and she was amazed. She kept remembering things we did together when we were young and reckless and my husband got an earful of our exploits. Later she said it must be my weight loss, and that I look more like that long ago girl, that brought the memories to mind. I'm not reckless anymore, but I sure feel younger!

Thanks again!

Breezy that is brilliant!! I am so pleased for you.
