Exciting Weight News

I just had to share, I had RNY mid april and i am now down to what i weighed in sept of 2001...at that time i worked in a job that i was on my feet all day and i worked 6 days a week so i was only at work for lik 5 to 6 hours a day and only ate lunch on saturday's when i was at work and got down to an adult low of 196....so today i get on the scale and it says i'm 196.5 ....close enough for me to be happy ....12 years ago when i went to college i was 198 and that was after 4 months of weigh****chers and only losing 20 lbs..... this journey has been so exciting.....yes i still have a ways to go to my goal, but i can already see changes that are positive in my body image.....if i pull on this part of my leg i can see that i have no saddle bags, if i pull on that part of my tummy i can see the outline of the a girly figure.....how exciting, i've never had a girly figure....i know i'm still along ways off from the figure but i can see it starting..woohoo so that's all for me today...

Sure feels great doesn't it . I know exactly what you mean. Not wanting to sound self centered or anything but I find myself looking in the mirror so much more lately. I used to avoid them like the plaque. But yup I can start to see a slimmer curvey figure underneath there too. I think I'm the lighest I've been in probably 20 years and boy it feel wonderful . I'm also fitting into my daughters clothes which is a hoot for me - not so much for them. They are threatening to put locks on their doors so I don't start raiding their closet. I can't believe it that I will soon be in sizes smaller than them. I tried on one daughters size 14 jeans last night and they fit - I couldn't believe it. Thanks for sharing - it's so--o good to hear everyone's good moments. Carolyn
