Well, my one year comes up in three more days. Here is how my stats have changed:

Weight 235 to 169 (mostly carrying remaining excess front and center)

Waist 53" to 39"

Bust 44D to 36B

Hips 48" to 41"

Shoe 9 wide to 8 1/2 narrow, no more diabetic socks

Shirts 24 (3X) to 12 (L)

Pants 24 (3X) to 14 (L)

Dropped 3 blood pressure meds, Lipitor (cholesterol), Metformin (pre-diabetic)

Lyrica (neuropathies and sciatica), hydrocodone (chronic pain in joints)

Out of 8 meds, I am only taking Wellbutrin for post-stroke anxiety

At my one year visit last Thursday, my doctor adjusted my goal weight from 135 to 155, so now I am only 14 pounds from goal. She said that after I lose that 14 pounds, I should consider a panniculectomy, which will take off another 12-15 pounds.

Smartest thing I ever did next to throwing a jerk to the curb to start my life over.

Congratulations on the weight loss and health improvements! And nice job on the record keeping too!
