MARCHers End of Year Check-In

Happy almost 2008 MARCHer family! It's time to check-in with one another and celebrate our enormous success. I find that it helps motivate me when I examine how far I've traveled on this journey rather than distressing over how far I still need to go. So let's check-in and be amazed at our transformations over these past 21 months. I'll go first: Starting Weight: 350 pounds Surgery Date Weight: 316 pounds Weight Today: 201 pounds Total Weight Lost: 149 pounds Weight Lost Since Surgery: 115 pounds Total Inches Lost: 61.5 inches Starting Size: 30/32 Current Size: Large or 16 WOWSERS! I'm really liking those stats! I'm so proud of each and every one of us for continuing to incorporate healthy habits into our lifestyle and for continuing to support each other on this journey. Happy New Year! Hugs, Stephanie
