I have officially lost 70 lbs!! I am very happy. While I still have a ways to go to goal, I have to acknowledge how far I have come. I had come to a crossroads in my life where it was do or die. I made the choice to do. I get to live my life now, I mean really LIVE. (not just exist) Half this loss was done on my own. (-33lbs pre op) But without the sleeve I probably would have failed by now. I know the only way I have come to this point is because I had the surgery. It has been one of the best decisions of my life. Now I look forward to more milestones.. I may be a bit of a slow loser, but I WILL get to where I need to be.

I don't think you are a loser at all Or a slow loser either....I have kept up with your threads and story and I admire your will to push through it all.....You show that if you really want something like good health and happiness you have to work for it..There is no easy route.....

Way to go Roo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Funny you mention the sweater. I have another pic on here from December and I am wearing the same sweater. Maybe it is me, but I can tell a big difference between then and now even. I never got my measurements before I started all of this, and I really wish I had. I KNOW those numbers would make me happy when the scale doesn't. Things have been shifting and moving and inches are gone. Even a sweater can tell you that! LOL

Looking good! And I love your sweater!
