OK, I said I was going to hide the scale. Actually, DH was supposed to and he forgot. I couldn't resist using it. I am just past my midpoint for weight loss. So I decided to take a halfway pic and compare it to one I took before the surgery. Same outfit...BIG difference!

I'm scared for the weight loss to slow down - they say it does as you get closer to goal. But I'm really excited - I feel almost normal...especially looking at the after pic!

you look great! keep up the work and you will hit goal in no time.

do you have a month in mind where you want to hit goal?

You look great! Big difference in after photo. Congratulations!

Wow, I just joined you! I don't think my loss has been as dramatic as yours, though. The only people who have commented are those who know I had surgery so it's hard to know if they're just being polite. But you look fantastic! Congratulations and my condolences on having to keep buying new uniforms!

Good one Steph, you look great !! I can't believe how quickly it's come off... you must have put some hard yakka into it.

I haven't thought of a specific month because I don't want to be disappointed and beat myself up. But I'm hoping for summertime. So that gives me a 3-month window. LOL I would be thrilled to be in the "normal" range by the beginning of summer. Only 21 more lbs to get there!

I thought I'd be able to hold off in the pants I have until I got to goal since I wore my 42s until I was down to 36. But the 36s look funny and they kind of rub funny against my legs when I walk. I told DH if I fit the 32s, I'm getting some. As for tops...thankfully the official uniform shirt is provided. I made DH get me a medium. I got a medium fleece, too. Of course, going down in that size isn't too hard when you don't have boobs. :biggrin: LOL

I thought you looked pretty skinny in your pic sitting down with your husband and the dogs. I'd say 30 lbs in 3 months is pretty dramatic. Keep up the good work. At this point, I really haven't had many people say anything. 2 acquaintances, my DH, and my mother and that's it. I hate to say it, but I think I'm starting to notice that people tend to be pretty self-involved. I guess I find it weird when I feel like I always notice that stuff and would comment. Oh, well. That's people for you.

Thanks, Sades. :biggrin:

Thanks, Shortgal.

Steph you look amazing and it is dramatic.....Keep going strong you are obviously working hard and it is paying off in spades......or is that in smaller size jeans....LOL

You are a motivator to those just beginning....!!

Congratulations!!
