Today was a big day for me...

I went to the doctor today for the first time since March 23, at that time, I had lost 30 lbs. I haven't been on the scale since then. So today was an especially big day. I was so full of nervous excitement. Part of me was scared to find out, worrying I didn't lose as much as I thought and the other part was excited to find out if it was more then I thought. Well I definitly underestimated myself. I am officially down 103 lbs. When the nurse told me, I was shaking. It's amazing, simply amazing. I love my surgeon he is a very gifted man. The beginning of this journey has been wonderful for me. I am confident it will continue to be. But for now, I am having a party for myself deep down in my soul. I feel better then I have felt in years and I lost 103 lbs to boot! Thanks to all of you for sharing your successes, difficulties and lives with me on OH. It has helped me tremendously to get here! Hugs and kisses!

Holy Cow! You lost 73 lbs and didn't know it? I can't believe you didn't find a scale somewhere. I'd be dying of curiosity. I celebrate every lb off on my scale, so I'm on the opposite spectrum as you. My surg was 3/28 and I've lost 80 lbs as of today. Keep up the good work! Heidi

Thanks Heidi. I do celebrate every pound but I do it all at once. The plateaus I hear people talk about would drive me nuts. So this has worked for me! Congratulations to you also!

Wonderful, Jean! We BOTH hit the Century Club in the past couple of days! Be proud and happy and all of those great feelings! REVEL IN IT, because you DESERVE IT!!! Greg (342/242/178)

Thanks Greg and so do you!

Congrats Jean! That's just awesome! I have 7 more lbs before I hit that century club. HUGS Kim

You look wonderful, thanks and congrats to you too!

Oh My that is just wonderful! I am so proud of you!!! I also in a way did not notice how much I had lost and then all of a sudden I get on the scale and I was down 75 pds! NO WAY I thought! No wonder my shorts look like a big parachute LOL! I was still wearing my size 26 shorts so now I have to figure out what size I really am. LOL I understand about the party inside. Life is great, and we deserve to celebrate our accomplishments every single one of us LOSERS!! You are doing great continue!

Thanks so much. I know what you mean about the parachute, everything I wear is like one...lol. Congrats to you!

What an awesome surprise!!! That is great I bet you feel so so much better Keep it up and take care!!! Bonnie
