Today is my 6 month anniversary date

Today marks my 6 month anniversary date of my surgery. I also have an appointment to see my surgeon this afternoon. So far I have lost 112 pounds (without weighing in today) so it might be a little more! I am so happy with my progress and changes in my life. I am so much more active, exercise 6 days a week and am giving away a lot of clothes that are way to big for me. People tell me I look a lot younger than I did 6 months ago. I have gone through plateaus during the first six months. But it lasts for a short time and then the weight comes off again. I have a lot of loose and wrinkly skin, but that's OK. I will handle that when I get to goal. I still am loosing hair but at a slower rate. I hope it stops soon. I know that I did the best thing for me and my life. In two months, I will be going to Acapulco for a one week vacation. I can't wait! I am so excited today and can't wait to see my surgeon!! I also noticed that I have bones, hip bones, shoulder bones, wrist, collar bones! YIPPEE! Original weight (doing weigh****chers) = 484.8 Pre-surgical weight = 383.4 Current weight - 271.4 So, all in all I've lost 213.4 pounds! Yes I can do this and will get to goal in 2006. I've enjoyed reading our June posts! Congratulations to all of us. Lucy M.

Hey Lucy, You should be estatic!!! You motivate me! I just passed the six month mark myself. I've lost 100 or so. I'm stuck at 233 and can't wait to be under 200. I finally joined a gym this week and have gone four times. Boy, I'm out of shape. Too bad I didn't join earlier but I'm happy I'm atleast there now. Thanks for being so positive. I too plan on getting to goal in 2006!!!!!!!!!! -Dawn
