1.) on pcp's office scale 303lbs. 2.) 236 lbs. 3.) 170 lbs. maybe a smidgen less 4.) 26-28 pants, 30-32 tops 5.) 18-20 pants, 1x-2x tops, it varies I'm very tall and like tops long. 6.) 14/16 7.) *Walking as long as I want without severe pain in my knees and feet. *Being able to join the water aerobics class and fairly well keep up.( I did my own workout in the deep water pre-op but was unable to do alot of the moves from/with the class. *Working out at Curves and being able to jog and actually bob around and dance in the blocks between the machines. (before wls I was doing good to just walk in place) 8.) I am delighted with the weight loss however I would really love to get down to my personal goal. I actually am beginning to feel I look decent in my clothes and really desire achieve my goal so I can really be proud of myself and leave the baggage of the 'body shame' behind. 9. With all the exercise things are beginning to firm up more than I expected. I also would hope to win the lottery if I decided to go for it, because I had to self-pay for the wls and that will take a while to repay. 10.) Dropping the pounds does make me feel less like I need to wear a tent to hide the monstrosity. I will say I do dress much more attractively. I also find that I carry myself with a pleasant confidence. I admit I do enjoy the more frequent compliments, too! Mary
