Bye bye 300!

Today my scale read 298. I wanted to cry with happiness!

I haven't been this light for 6 years. I don't even know how to feel about it.

HW- 350

SW- 334

CW- 298

I've lost a total of 52 pounds in 8 weeks. I'm 6 weeks post surgery and even though it has been a rough journey it feels like life is starting to come together. I'm learning more every day and I've gotten through my first stall.

I'm starting to see why people say this was the best decision they ever made. As I'm not fully there yet, I hope one day I am.

My main goal for this post was because when things were super tough I needed to see the success people were achieving. I want to help inspire.

I want you to know you're not alone and even though each of our journeys are our own, you have more support here than you realize.

And hopefully I will never see a 3 on my scale again.

    Yeah I finally dropped to the next BMI rating which is just ridiculously fast according to them. I'm not sure where they get the numbers they have. But I'm three months post surgery in my original weigh in what's 406.7 in late June. Surgery on September 6th in today 277. 0 I'm feeling good fitting in places I never would have fit. My daughter had a MRI Friday then we went to lunch while we waited for her doctor's appointment. I sat in the booth and my stomach was nowhere near touching. Much less ridiculously uncomfortable. That alone make this well worth the journey. The embarrassment of not be able to fit into a boot no longer a problem. Is it those people who never had that problem they would never understand how good it feels to just sit in a booth.
