I have lost........

I have now lost what I want to weigh at the end of my journey. Tonight at the gym when I weighed I was 302.5 which is a loss of 145.5 pounds! I am just a few pounds away from being under 300 which I havn't seen in a LONG time. I was practically floating out the door and thru the parking lot I was so excited. It just totally amazes me.....I've actually lost 145 pounds! OMG And to make it even more exciting, I thought I was on a stall, since Auntie Flo is here; but for once instead of flatlining or gaining a dreaded couple of pounds I actually lost ~Tanja -145.5

Tanja that is incredible.....every day I am so thankful I had this surgery. I have never had any regrets whatsoever! Those of us that were at the higher end have a longer road to get where we want/need to be and sometimes when we "flatline" it can be really scarry but in the end it all starts coming off again. I have just recently started getting rid of my 3-5x clothes but it was hard at first to let go! Congratulations on you wonderful weight lose!!!!!!!!!!! Janette RNY 7-13-04 363/229 -134lbs

I'm thankful everyday too. Having this surgery is the second smartest thing I've ever done (first is marrying dh) and I havn't had a single minute of real regret. Sure first few days home I complained about the pain~but it wasn't bad enough to make me regret it! I so understand not wanting to give up the clothes~I practically cried when I gave away my favorite shirts! I found them at Catherines, they were so "ME" and continued to wear them even when they were hanging off of me. Heck I have a pair of 4x black slacks in my closet that I accidentially grabbed yesterday and put on.........only to have them slide right off when I let go of them. Now that was an awesome feeling! My "fat" jeans no longer fit and the pair I wear now are getting super loose Congratulations on your weight loss!! ~Tanja

A big WOOHOO to you Tanja!! You are doing so well - you'll be under 300 lbs. in no time!! Be sure to let us know when the scale says 299!!! Hugs, Nancy -93

Tanja! Amazing! Keep up the great wor****ep going to the gym, too, as that will help those pounds melt away. Back when my hubby had lost ~140-150 pounds or so, we used to joke that he had "lost a whole Backstreet Boy". I guess you could say that you've lost a "Spice Girl"? have a good one! Diana

Wow. You are so impressive. I wish I had met you before your surgery so I could see the difference. I hear you look great. Are you coming to B&N? It will be my last chance to meet you. Please do. Hat

I'm definately going to try to come! I heard you looked awesome and I definately wanna see that for myself! ~Tanja -145.5

Well heck, now I am going to have to wear make so I don't scare you.
