Please share either upcoming milestones or ones already achieved. Here are a few of mine.

• First time CHEWING food post op
• 100 lbs lost
• 200 lbs lost
• Breaking into the 200's
• Buying an XL shirt at a store that didn't have BIG or TALL in the name
• And coming up in 32 lbs...Being literally "Half the Man" I used to be.

Sometimes jumping up and down, and shouting for joy needs to be shared with others...and sometimes others jump higher and shout louder than we did for ourselves.

I remember Onederland as an amazing milestone and being able to jog a mile. My first 5k was a bucket list item checked off.

These days my favorites include empty space on each side of me in an airplane seat and days when my eating is on point and my "skinny clothes" fit well (I'm a chick so bloat is real). Lastly, I enjoy taking pictures with my friends. I am no longer contorting myself in all kinds of crazy ways (suck in stomach, rotate and push hips back, lean forward, neck out, chin tilted slightly down but look up- crazy, I know) to try and look smaller when a camera comes out.

I had to add in another one that occurred this morning. For the first time in forever they used the normal size blood pressure cuff on me at the doctor without even hesitating to think if they need the big one or not!! I almost cried happy tears. [emoji23]

There were definitely a lot of milestones along the journey. To name a few of the ones I've passed:

~Not weighing more than my husband

~Getting under 200 pounds

~Being in single-digit sizes (down to a 4!!)

~Running a 1/2 marathon

~Riding all the roller coasters at the park with my kids without being afraid I wouldn't fit

~Fitting comfortably into an airplane seat

~Buying my first bikini

~Doing things I never would have done at my highest weight like paddle boarding & snorkeling.
