100 pounds in a year

[MegInNOLA 531]

Hi y'all:

I'm feeling sort of emotional today because when I weighed this morning I realized that I have now lost 100 pounds from my highest recorded weight. Last summer, I was so freaked out about my weight that I decided to try hard to lose it, and I did lose around 35 pounds. However, as in the past, I didn't continue with that diet/exercise program. I gained a little of it back before surgery this past April. So in a little over a year, thanks to my sleeve, I have now lost 100 pounds. I still have a long way to go, and I'm going to be working hard to hit my personal goals (my surgeon didn't set a goal for me). Post surgery, it's -69 pounds in 4 months and a week.

This is the only tool I know that works whether I want it to or not--we took a short cruise last week and I lost a pound. But the better news, at least to me, is that when we got back, I was a full size smaller in pants and a full inch smaller around the chest. I don't know; seems like when I'm losing slowly, that's when my body is adjusting and changing sizes. I wasn't doing anything much different from my norm, except maybe a little extra walking.

So everyone hang in there. Big changes do happen!!
