Well. . .it finally happened

Well. I have something rather big to report: I am officially in One-derland. I have lost 50% of my bodyweight. I weighed 199 on the scale this morning. This means I have lost 201 lbs. I am in the Double Century club! I'm in SHOCK. I feel like the tinest little thing ever - I've not weight under 200 since the 6th grade. (I'm freakishly tall at 6'3" tall) I started out 400+ lbs. BMI of 51.1 On my surgical date I weighed 355 Today I weigh 199, BMI of 25.0 = I AM A "NORMAL" ranged BMI!! SCREAM it from the MOUNTAINTOPS!! I'm "NORMAL" I am so deeply grateful for this surgery, and so deeply grateful for everyone who has supported me on my journey. This has not been easy and there have been definate lessons learned the hard way Sometimes it has been so difficult I though I wasn't going to ever make it . But I have perservered - with the and the and from my friends. Thank you so much for every thing that you do and for sharing this journey with me. I love you very much, ~Lara
