I woke up this morning to a new century!! I am no longer over 300 lbs!!! YAHOO!! As of today I am 299! I've lost a total of 77 lbs so far since March. OMG! I am so excited!! I am UNDER 300!! UNDER, UNDER, UNDER!!!! OMG! This is so exciting! I'm busting, guys, I'm busting!! Wow!!! The scale we have at home only goes to 330 pounds. So when I weighed over that initially, I had to wind the scale down to 280 or 260 and weigh myself and then add the 20-40 lbs (however much the ticker was below the 0 mark before I weighed) to my weight. I was excited when I got in the 320's because I could finally have the scale at "0" and weigh normally. LOL Now, I am UNDER 300!! I can't WAIT to go to the Dr's office (doesn't matter which doctor) and step on their scale next time and tell them - "you need to move the bottom one down to 250". LOL I'm always telling them to move it up to 300 because I've been over 300 for years! YAY! I'm under 300!!!! I started wearing a 4x and now I'm in 2x's. My bra size at first was a 50DD and now it's a 44D. I'm 6 feet tall and my BMI on surgery day was 51 (weighing 376). Now it's 40.6. I only have 5 more pounds to go before I am no longer MORBIDLY obese but just obese. I know - how can I be over 290 and be "obese" not "morbidly obese", but I'm tall. Gosh I love being tall. LOL This surgery is the BEST thing I ever did for myself!! Thank you all for being a part of this group and for your support and motivation and friendship!!!! Anyway, I'm FINALLY sharing my weight with everyone!!! Psychologically I just had to get under 300 first! Oh happy,happy day!! Hugs, Trisha

Trisha, Way to go! I am so happy for you. I know just how you feel. My husband commented the other day that for years I would NOT tell him how much I weighed, now I am posting it for the whole world to see...LOL I am just so excited about losing that I don't really care anymore who knows how much I weighed then, or now. I just weighed in below 200 this past Friday, and I feel the same way as you. I had to celebrate by shopping. I bought the clothes a little tight, so I hope that they last me through the summer! Keep up the good work and CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!
