Well, I've been saying I've lost "about" 100 lbs for a while now, because at ~95 lbs, that's true. But today, I tipped the scale at 229.8, which means that I've lost just OVER 100 lbs since my surgery last May. Huzzah! Plus, it's nice to be in another weight bracket -- the 220's -- again.

And I'm really enjoying clothes that fit (and some attention from the ladies!) All good things. It's going to be a FUN summer!

I should add that my next goal is 226.8. Since I'm averaging about a pound a week at this point, that means that right around early-mid May (almost exactly a year out from surgery), I should achieve the goal of moving from morbidly obese, to obese, to just "overweight" -- according to the BMI charts. Of course, with a BMI of 29.9, that's pushing it, but it still qualifies! Since I'm extremely heavily built (no really, that's not just a euphemism like "big boned" -- genetically, I'm built somewhat like a tank), I doubt that a "normal" BMI weight of 185 lbs is EVER going to happen (I would seriously have to look and be anorexic), but I'll be content with just being "a little overweight." That's good company!

Now I just need to get back into my exercise routine and start packing on some muscle for summer!

Congratulations! I, too, reached my 100 pounds lost mark yesterday after being stuck at 98 for a LONG time. It's an amazing feeling, and it has definitely strengthened my resolve to keep up with my program.

I'm just looking forward to getting on a scale, and not seeing the number 2 on it for the first time since high school...

Best of luck for continued success. Enjoy those new clothes!

Congratulations to you, too. And yes, it IS a great feeling. I know that substantively, there's nothing really different between 95 lbs and 100 lbs, but sometimes that extra digit makes all the psychological difference in the world!

Congrats on ur achievements so far:))) I love it when I read such posts on here:) thank you for the inspiration

Congrats! We all look forward to you reaching your next goal!

congratulations what an inspiration! I'm trying to get out of the 250s but my body is being stubborn and my mind is trying to sabatoge me

Great job to You and Kansas; may the rest of your weight melt right off in the spring and summer sun!

Way to go, I'm very impressed!! I would love to lose 100 lb, which would put me right at goal. Which would be awesome.

Awesome! I've been with you since the beginning (my surgery was in May also) so it's awesome to see your update. Your new face pic is amazing! Hot stuff whoo hooo! Congrats on everything

Thanks for all the kind words!
