I'm "Normal".....well at least my weight is!

So Today I hit 149.2 lbs. According to my BMI I am NORMAL!

I had surgery March 20, 2013 and weighed in at 240 lbs. I have chosen to only tell 2 people. My husband and sister. So when I posted a picture this week it created quite a buzz. I have lost 91 lbs in 7 months and feel better then ever. I could not ask for a better change in my life I can run and play with my son and not get tired. I have been so blessed to have had an easy recovery and a sleeve of steel.

I have attached a picture from February 2013 and from this week.

Oops hit send too fast! Congratulations you should be SO incredibly proud of yourself ! Now that your 7 months out what's a typical day fir you food wise? Also you mentioned you didn't tell alot if people...didn't they notice the drastic weight loss? That's the only part I'm nervous about..because I really don't want to scream it from the rooftop that I'm having wls.

Your smile is so much brighter now than it was. Congrats and I hope I can look half as ood as you do at 7 months out.

Awesome. Congratulations!!

Super encouraging! Thanks for posting!!! You look fantastic! Can I ask you how your tummy skin is now that you've lost so much wait? My body type looks very simlar to your before pic. If you don't want to share, that's totally fine :)

Thanks everbody

Goddardgo to answer your question I will never be a bikini model, nor do I want to be. I have some loose skin. I actually posted pictures about 10 lbs ago because somebody asked in chat. you can go in my gallery to see them.

If the gallery is still down pm me and I will send you a link to see them.
