Almost 60 lbs gone!!!!

WOW, I'm not quite 8 weeks yet (will be on Wed), and almost 60 lbs gone!!! I'm just plain amazed!! I'm down to a 22/24 (from a 28/30). Today was a series of WOW moments... we bought a kayak today (at hubby's insistance) and although I was ok with the IDEA of buying it and going out in it... I wasn't expecting to actually use it anytime soon though... The actuality of putting on a swimsuit for the first time since surgery... left me a bit shocked. It slipped on without a huge struggle, that was the shocking part... I was able to get into the boat without difficulty and even paddle it around a bit!! *I* got to participate in an outdoor sport!!! I wasn't even really over tired... it was awesome!!

You rock, Kitty Kat! Keep up the good work and stay active! It's amazing how a relatively "small" reduction in body weight can so totally affect a person's energy level and outlook on life. I am starting exercise tomorrow after "obeying" the doc's activity restrictions for 6 weeks post-op, and I hope that I am as pleasantly surprised as you were today! --Heather

Holy Mackerel! SIXTY pounds. (Excuse me while I choke on my protein drink!) You are doing incredibly great and I'm so happy for you. Your husband and family must be too. Take care~~ Diane

Congrats!

WOW!!!!! Kat that is AWESOME!!!!!!! Congratulations!!! Rita

Awesome work on the 60 pounds lost. I too have been amazed by how quickly I've lost weight. I just went over the half-way point to goal with 67 pounds lost! A few weeks ago we had a lake trip that was absolutely enjoyable. For me, life is alot more fun when it doesn't revolve around food. --Dave
