Journey to reach my Goal

[kempermorris 144]

It's 18 months post op. Weight loss has really slowed down. I've lost 185 lbs. Trying to lose 50 more. Starting weight was 410. Today 235. I walk 3 miles 5 days a week. I lift weights 3 times a week at the gym. I'm still eating right. About 1200 calories a day. Had surgery on both legs which hurt my daily exercising. Set me back about 3 months. I feel really good. I've lost 16 inches in the waist. I'm off all of my 9 prescription medicines. I'm no longer Diabetic & no longer have to take insulin shots. I was taking 60 units twice a day. My Neuropathy was so bad I was thinking about using a motorized chair at the store. My sleep apnea was so bad I had 2 head on collisions. It has now gone away. Hopefully I can lose this next 50 lbs by Springtime. This surgery totally changed my life. I feel better, look better, & hopefully have added more quality years to my life. Even my dog has lost 25 lbs due to all the walking. I have become addicted to exercise instead of food. I look forward to what the future holds. I am determined to reach my goal. I take it one day at a time. I am proud of the new me. I'll be even prouder in 6 months.
