I'm the new Century member
Whoooooo Hooooooo
I finally did it. I hit the 100 pound century milestone this morning and I'm pretty happy. I lost 36 pounds from January through the middle of May as a pre-oper. Then, since I started the WLS process On May 21st with my liquid diet, I've lost exactly 64 more pounds for my total of 100. It still seems like some kind of dream. I can't believe that the scale balanced EXACTLY at the 100 pounder mark this morning.
Then, to boot, my regular weigh-in day today happened to fall on my 45th birthday. So, I already have the best birthday present anyone in my shoes could ever ask for.
I weighed 247 this morning and my next milestone is the 228 to 227 transition when I will no longer be called OBESE and turn to the overweight level. Then, I'm off to Onederland. I've lost all of my target weight for August and I've only got 3 more pounds to lose to meet my my target weight for September.
You might be able to tell in my typing that I seem a bit pumped up this morning. Okay...gotta go do some cartwheels on my front lawn...hmmm...maybe better think of some other way to celebrate.
Have a great week everyone.
John

Way to go John!!! Woooo hoooooo!!!! I have 24 more lbs to lose until I hit the century mark. I'm HOPING to do this by October 24th. It seems that almost EVERY week when I go back to work for the week--I stop losing! SOOOOO strange! Maybe it's a complete coincidence...but still very strange!! I'm off until Thursday now--so we'll see what we can do. Last week I lost 5 1/2 lbs from Sunday until Thursday when I went back to work---and since then...nothing! Grrrrrrrrrr!!!! Anyway....Way to go and Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you Courtney.
Well, I have your solution for more losing...no more work for you. Take two months off and call me in the morning...or something like that...LOL
When I have big losses, I just expect to stay still for a bit. You are doing great.
I'm combining my birthday and century day party...hopefully you and April can stop over for some SF popcicles and protein drinks.
