I was just calculating that out. I have 10 pounds to go to be just over weight. So that is my next goal. Almost there. :wacko:

WOOOO HOOOOOO!! Girl, you are one hot overweight chick!! My "next" goal was actually reached today. After losing 80 lbs, I finally weigh what my drivers license says I weigh. :P The next one is in 20 more pounds when I hit 220. That will be 100 lbs gone!!

I have 8.1 pounds to go before I get under 200 - which is exciting in and of itself and it will be the least I have weighed in about 25 years. I got close to the 200 mark about 8 years ago and then my body quit losing, I got frustrated, and started eating my way back to 300+ pounds. So this particular milestone is one I am both looking forward to and scared of. What if the same thing happens as last time and I just can't do it? Etc.

The last time I was this weight was when I almost died and couldn't eat for 3 months. This time around it's been a lot more fun to get to it! But like you, I'm now in new territory. The next landmark for me will be 175 lbs, which I can remember weighing 19 years ago!

Good news is, this time you will keep losing and you can't eat enough to gain back all the weight. Gotta keep the faith, right?

Congrats and welcome to the overweight club. I hope to stay here for the rest of my life. To reach the "normal" club I only need to lose 38 more pounds. Really? Where would it come from?

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
