I have finally gotten out of the 200's! Today I weighed in at 199.5! I had tears in my eyes as I ran naked out of the bathroom and was jumping up and down kissing my boyfriend with excitement. Poor guy didn't know what hit him. When I started this journey I weighed 291 in Spetember 2009. I lost 36 pounds during my pre-op, so for surgery on December 13, 2009 I weighed in at 255. So far I have lost a total of 91 pounds. I still have about 55 more that I would like to lose. But it is amazing on how great I feel now. My back doesn't hurt, my knees don't ache. I can actually run on the treadmill and not feel like I am going to die. Overall I feel amazing. I feel pretty and I haven't felt that way in a long time. Here are some before, during and now pictures.

Way to go!!! ~ I have 7 more til I'm there!

Congratulations!!!

Congratulations! That is such a wonderful milestone, worth celebrating!!! :party:

You look wonderful and have done really well with your loss!

Thank you all! This site and all of you wonderful people have been such a positive inspiration for me during this journey!

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!

CONGRATS AMBER!!!!! That is super awesome!!!!

I'm not too far myself, only a bit over 13 lbs to go. Considering I haven't been less than 200 lbs in 20 years I'd say I'm really looking forward to it, so I KNOW you're over the moon!!
