My 18 month report

Missed my yearly one so here goes. I had surgery on 5/31/02 and to date have lost 153 lbs, still have 47 to go. Have been at a standstill for the last few months, not a standstill really thinking about it, rather the weight loss has slowed A LOT. Probably have 20# of skin and flab on me but was SO excited yesterday to be able to buy a size SMALL sweater vest...have never worn anything with an "s" on the lable in my memory....I was a 30/32 (tight) when I started this journey, weighed 340 and this morning weighed in at 187. This is the best thing I have ever done for myself, my entire life has been changed, I actually feel like I am living my life rather then letting it pass me by jeannemarie
