a year today!!!

Hi everyone! Sorry I haven't posted in FOREVER...but I have been swamped with school and life in general. Today is my one year anniversary, and I am officially down 102 lbs. I have gone from 242 to 140, size 18/20 (barely breathing) to size 4/6. I still cannot believe this is ME! My sister is now telling me that I am too skinny and need to gain some weight back...didn't think I would ever hear THAT one!! Anyway, hope that every one is doing FANTASTIC, and good luck on your continuing journey. I will post again sooner than I have this time...I have just been a "lurker" and not taking time to post Sherri C 242/140 GOAL

Congratulations!!!!!!! You have done a fantastic job! Now tell me, how tall are you cause 240 in an 18/20 isn't a lot. I think I was that too but I am 5'11". Damn, a 4/6. Unbelievably great work. Joanne

Sherri, Congratulations and Happy Anniversary. Isn't it amazing the changes we go thru after surgery and how our image changes both to those around us and within ourselves. Mary

Happy Anniversary Sherri! It's my anniversary too... I have been walking around my office all day today telling everyone that it's my anniversary- I have also been asking everyone where my anniversary party is. My boss replied- we didn't throw you a party because you are missing that girl that used to be attached to you! She's gone now forever! I am down 175lbs! 361-196! Not at goal yet but I have gone from a size 28 to a size 14! I hope everyone else is having a great anniversary month as well. Congratulations Sherri and everyone else!

Wow Sherri......What a fantastic weight loss. Congratulations!.....Paula

I'm sorry. I meant Christi for the above.

Hi Sherri, Congratulations on your anniversary and 102 pound weight loss. I just read your profile and see you are in school to be a RN. That's great. You'll really appreciate having lost all that weight when you are working those 12 hour shifts!! Wearing a size 4/6 is a great accomplishment. You must be so proud of yourself. My son who hadn't seen me in 5 months is telling me too that I am too skinny and need to gain back some. No way, No how. Your sister is just used to seeing you at 240 pounds and it's hard since you lost it so quick. Good luck with school and in maintaining your loss. Paula

Congratulations, Sherri, on reaching goal! And within one year....that's awesome! I've received quite a few compliments but haven't received the "you're too skinny" one yet. Still working on it though! Take care........Wanda

Sherri - I share this anniversary date with you. We are in great company. You've done a fantastic job. Congrats! Denise

Thank you, everyone for your kind words and congratulations to ALL of us for what we have achieved in the past year (or two, or three...or whatever!!) For the person asking how tall I am....5'5"-so 240 on me seemed like a million. I did my best to cover all the rolls, but looking back at my old pictures, I just sit and cry. I cannot believe I let myself get like that. BUT...I am living a brand new life, and I will never be that person again Blessings! Sherri 242/140 GOAL!!
