So I hit the 50lbs loss mark today!! I'm thrilled at the number

Stats:

Feb 2015 - 256

Surgery May 12, 2015 -236

6 week post op (6/22/15) - 205

I document as much as possible so I can see numbers and pictures to compare progress. I measure my bust, waist, hips, arms and thighs. It's not about the numbers. I have trouble seeing the progress when I look in the mirror so those tactics help me keep focus and reality that it's really happening.

I've had some great non number rewards already. Needing a belt for my normal pants that would slide right off, sitting in a movie theater with both arms down and having space, my seat belt doesn't lock up all the time, I don't hurt when I wake up anymore... these are the important successes!

I have to admit that the numbers are more fun than I thought they would be. I haven't been this size since my senior year of high school in 2000.

Thanks for letting me share my journey with you all and fir the great support I see on these boards!

50lbs to go!

Fantastic, I bet you feel really great!! Keep up the good work

Congratulations on your accomplishment! I reached 50 lbs mark this week as well (2-1/2 months out from surgery) but I still have another 50 lbs to go.

It is good to read success stories for they help me keep the faith and help me stay with the program.

I'm pretty close to the 50 pound mark from my HW...6 pounds to go! Very exciting.

5 lbs to go to reach my 50 lbs mark. Can't wait either, because it will mean I only have 100 more to go to get to goal. I know it sounds like a lot but hey 45 lbs in 2.5 mos is pretty freaking awesome and has motivated me to keep up the good work.

Congrats everyone!

Congrats! I just hit 50lbs lost today myself! It's such a great feeling to reach a milestone in the weight loss. 5 weeks and some change and I'm feeling better than ever! I can't wait until I can run and my knees won't feel like they are about to break! Good luck on reaching your goal soon!
