Into the 180's!

[JamieLogical 8,684]

As of this morning, I weight 189.8 pounds. I cannot tell you how much joy I felt over seeing this number. For me this was bigger than getting under 200, because I've actually managed to get below 200 several times in the past 5 years or so, but this is only the second time I've gotten under 190!

The moment was especially sweet because at last week's weigh-in (I "officially" weigh on Mondays) I was at 191.8 and all week I had actually gone up, seeing 192.2 and 192.4 every morning, so I was expecting to maintain this week, at best. But, nope! There it was this morning! 189.8. I even did my trick where I re-weigh myself holding a bunch of heavy stuff, then weigh myself again without the heavy stuff to make sure it's accurate. And it was!

The last time I was in the 180's was just after my plastic surgery back in August, 2011. I had lost 90 pounds "on my own" in 2010/2011 and had plastic surgery in August of 2011 to remove my excess skin. I had a Tummy Tuck with muscle repair and breast lift with augmentation. At the time of my surgery, I weighed 180. Unfortunately, I had some post-op complications (Fluid build-up in my lower back) that drastically limited my mobility. I started regaining weight fairly quickly and while I've gained and lost and gained and lost since then, I had never gotten back under 190.

I am so excited to be back here!

Yay, congratulations!! It is a big deal and you are over halfway to your goal. That has to feel good too. Love that you have a trick of weighing yourself with a bunch of heavy stuff to make sure the scale works. We do the craziest things.

I just got under 200 this past Friday and was so excited about that. I celebrated by getting myself these cool blue tooth headphones that I've been wanting. Couldn't wait to get to the gym to try them out.

We both has plastic surgery around the same time after having previous weight loss and I started gaining weight back during that recovery. My tummy held up pretty well despite my gaining weight, how about you? This time we will not gain the weight back.

My Tummy Tuck held up amazingly well. You can see some pics in my gallery, though the most recent ones are more than a month old now. I am actually starting to get some ab definition now. But even in my pre-sleeve pics, you can see my stomach was pretty flat.

I would say the only thing is that my scar is a bit wide, because it got stretched out some when I was at higher weights? I was 180 at the time of my plastic surgery and I got all the way back up to 260 (not to mention a LOT of fluctuation in between). Very glad the tummy tuck and muscle repair withstood that. I do have to have my breasts redone in the spring. Not because of weight loss/gain, but because my left implant has become malpositioned.

@JamieLogical Happy Dance with you! I can't imagine the feeling of getting below 200 or in the 180's. Enjoy!

Way to go! I totally get your joy getting into 180's.. I can get under 200, but only was I able to get under 190 once.
