A few Victories 1 month PO!

  • Popular Post

I don't really have anywhere to share this...so I hope here is ok. :)

I hit the 199 lbs mark yesterday and maintained it today. It's been so long since I was under 200 that I can't even remember the last time. I'm down a total of 23 lbs since I started all this. It's exciting but I'm trepidatious about sharing it because my brain still says "this won't work" even though logically, it is working! Plus all the nay-sayers in my world. :-/

I was happy with my body before surgery, but I was unhealthy. Today my blood pressure is down and I managed 20 minutes on the elliptical last night! Better than that, I did the elliptical and I can still walk the next day. I have a neck again and inches have been lost. My rings fit again and my clothes are fitting better.

So one month out, this is my success. Still a ways to go but I'll get there, slowly and surely.

....so I'm late for work and I forgot my phone so I go bounding up the stairs to get it!!! That's right BOUNDING..me...! So when I read your post I was so excited for you too! The ache in my hips? gone. The CPap machine at night? gone. The downside: my undies keep falling off...my skirt dropped to my ankles...I still don't have the nerve to buy new stuff in a smaller size yet (right?) because after all these years of dieting it's hard to believe this weight loss is (as we say in Boston) forevah!! 55 pounds today in four under four months. It was rough at the start but look at us now!
