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.

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!!

:cheer2:

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
