Onederland & 16 Wk Surgiversary!

[OnaLark999 5]

Today is my 16 week surgiversary. I've lost a total of 65 pounds. This has been a week of reaching milestones in my weight loss journey. This morning, I weighed the very lowest amount since 2004. My weight this morning was 199.6!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I originally set this as my goal weight for December 31.

I’ve lost an average of 3.73 pound per week or just slightly over ½ pound per day!!!

At the three month post op mark, they project that 35% of excess body weight should have been lost. I lost 48.4%!!!

I realized that I’ve now lost more than ½ of the amount of the weight recommended to be within a healthy body weight index (bmi).

These are just the recent victories that I’ve had that are associated with the weight loss. There are several more ‘victories’ that I’ve noticed that have nothing to do with the number on the scale.< /span>

· The seatbelt on the airplane on a trip 3 weeks ago had PLENTY of room.

· One day, while sightseeing, I walked more than 6 miles!

· I am exercising 5 – 6 hours per week in a Jazzercise aerobics class.

· My husband put his arms around me for a hug and called me ‘skinny-bones’.

Good luck to everyone on this journey.
