Happy dance

I know to some, this might even seem silly... but for several years, I've been over 300 lbs. Before I even decided on this route, I'd been trying every damn diet i could think of to lose weight. I remember 3 times, or got down to the verge of getting under 300 lbs. But I never could quite tip the scale. I'd teeter totter on the edge, but never made it under.

The day I started the pre-op diet, I was 333.6 lbs. March 6th, the day of surgery, I was 310.2

Today, I weighed, and I am 298.0

I realize it's just 35 lbs and I still have a long road, but I cried. I haven't seen less than 300 lbs on the scale in over 3 years.

I'm so grateful. For the first time, I actually feel like I got this. And I am so glad for this app. I just had to share my joy with someone. I felt like I was about to pop.

Congrats!

Awesome! You got this! :)

It is so wonderful!! I celebrated big time twice so far, dropping below 300 and dropping below 200. Both were major and the third will be reaching my goal. :D I'm so happy for you!! It's so wonderful isn't it???

Congratulations! That is a wonderful milestone!
