I'm 102 pounds down

56 before surgery, and 46 since August 25. The clothes, the mirror, those are great. But I've spent the last three weeks working on fixing 300 feet of bad fence around my yard, since my male dog figured out how to chew his way out. I've raked acorns, moved so many carts of dirt, strung hundreds of feet of heavy horse fencing wire, filled holes, carted out junk, taken huge branches to the dump, etc! Last year at this time, I could barely walk around the yard to pick up poop, forget raking acorns. That is my real victory, being able to do what needs to be done. Yeah! I'll be overweight in just a couple more pounds, and 42 to go to a normal BMI. It feels amazing.

I am a little pissed that I skipped right over my hundred pound weight. I wanted a picture of the scale!

Congratulations! That is awesome. I too find that after losing weight I can do so much more - it's such a reward to be able to walk up stairs without sweating!

Your weight loss is impressive and your stamina for the hard work is over the moon! Congrats!

Awesome! Congrats!

I'm glad that I'm not the only one for whom picking up dog poop without pain is a NSV. :D
