Today is my BIRTHDAY! I am one!

Hi everyone! I just wanted to share my first birthday with all of you and tell you how much your friendship and support has meant to me. I am totally a new person and I owe alot to you guys for helping to make it a successful year. I so wish there were more of you for us to meet in Vegas! Hopefully I will eventually get to meet more of you...Anyway today I weighed in at 141 (same forward as backward) (must have been all that pooping yesterday Anna! that means I lost a total of 10 pounds since surgery and 137 total.....I would like to lose another 16 pounds! I CAN do it! I have lost 100.5 inches! As follows: Then/Now/total lost Neck : 16/12.5/3.5 Upper arm: 18/10.75/7.25 under boobs: 42/31.5/10.5 Boobs: 54/34.5/19.25 waist: 49/31.0/18.0 butt: 55.5/35.5/20.0 thigh: 30.5/20.5/10.0 knee: 1.5/14.0/3.5 calf: 19.25/15.0/4.25 wrist: 6.75/5.75/1.0 ankle: 10.0/8.0/2.0 foot: 9.50/8.25/1.25 __________________________________ total: -100.5 I went from a size 26W pants to a size 4/6 or 8 and a size Medium top. What a difference a year makes. I will post pictures later for the before and after comparison....I think it really hit me when I tried on my orange top and blue jeans from my first profile picture...........What a wow. My kids got up and gave me a birthday card with lovely stuff written in it from them. Happy rebirthday to you too Jersey Mom(and anyone else who shares our day)! Hope your day is special....
