Doesnt seem real!

I had my 6 month follow up yesterday... yeah a little late seeing how I am 7 months out I am now 33lbs from goal... THIRTY THREE!!!!!!!!! I am down 64lbs since surgery... and as of this morning ONE HUNDRED pounds since I started this process. My NUT took my measurements yesterday and Ive lost almost 50 inches total! The most amazing was over 10 inches on my bust and 13 on my hips!!! Sadly... only 2 inches of my arms - darn those chicken wings!!!! I had a great visit and am feeling so amazing today. I was told to expect to lose about 5lbs a month now... this month I am now 7 already. Hopefully things will continue this way and I will reach goal by 1 year out. The last time I weighed 188lbs I was in 8th grade entering high school... its crazy! I cant wait to see what I will look like as the pounds keep comming off. I can no longer fit into Lane Bryant shirts (I was swimming in the 14/16!) and can still wear their jeans but now dont have to pay their crazy prices and can shop in "normal" stores!!! My birthday is comming up in a few weeks and I will have to say its going to be the BEST birthday EVER!

Congrats, Jennifer! You are doing awesome. Keep up the good work. I need to get back on track about eating.

jenn, i want to be just like you when i grow up

I still don't believe the scale or my clothes. None of it seems right to me. Not sure when I'll get over that. Congrats on your progress!

u go girl ...thats great

Congratulations Jennifer! May seem like it is not real...I can surely relate to that! It is so great to go shopping in regular size clothing stores and being able to wear a normal size is a dream! LOL....my favorite store so far is Tops & Bottoms, they have such great designer clothing,Baby Phat,Apple Bottoms and RocaWear,I am loving it,husband is not...lol Keep up the great work! Nancy

Wow Jennifer, you are doing great. I have to wholeheartedly agree with your sentiments about how this doesn't seem real. I too have been overweight since my teens, and, even though the thin me was trapped in there, I never believed I could be a healthy weight again. I just keep marvelling at that skinnier me. (Does that sound self-centered, or what?) Congratulations on all your effort, oh, and by the way, Happy PreBirthday! Lori

Boy, do I hear you. My hubby brought home a pair of 15 slacks ...juniors, not womens. He didn't realize there was a difference. I tried them on, hoping to get them up to my knees...they actually fit, tight but wearable. CONGRATULATIONS...you are doing wonderful and it sounds like you will hit goal by year end.
