Today I officially hit the 60 pounds totals lost!  My post surgery weight now equals my pre surgery weight!  I lost 30 pounds on my pre op diet and now 30 pounds post op.  woo hoo!

My next goals are a little bigger...the half way mark (70 pounds) and then ONEderland!!!  I have not weight less than 200 pounds in 19 years so I will probably shed a few cheers of joy that day...as I know many of you will probably as well.

My DD brought home a new band booster foodball T for me to wear on Friday night.  IT WAS AN XL!!!  I joked with her that I was going to wear the tag on the OUTSIDE!  instead of wanting to make sure I cut the tags out..like no one knew I was a 3 or 4XL before, right!

One week from today I will meet up with other people in my company who have not seen me in a year.  I will let you know how that goes and their reactions!

Keep sharing!  I want to hear everyone's WOW's and meeting you goals.  These are exciting times for us!

That is awesome!  I can really relate.  I am close to being under 200 myself.  For me that will be a milestone passed, but it doesn't really feel like a goal.  I guess beause I think my body will do it pretty much on its own. 

My goal right now is to remain healthy.  I am having issues with my bowels and finding it hard to eat knowing that it will return very soon in another form.  I will call my surgeon tomorrow as it has been over a week like this.  I am not eating enough and not taking my vitamins all the time so my goal is to get this problem worked out and get back on track.

Oe plus side I have dropped about 5 lbs this week.  One the negative side, I think my body is now in a stall because I am hardly eating (or absorbing) anything. 

I hope it will get better soon.

Congratulaions, Julie!  

I weighed 202 this morning-- only 2 pounds from my halfway mark.  I haven't been under 200 in 12 years so it will be a huge milestone for me as well. 

I've had a great time trying on clothes this week.  I'm amazed to be able to take something off the rack and it fits.   I've only purchased a couple of new tops but am starting to look forward to shopping again.   

Two people commented on my weight loss this week so I know they are starting to notice. 

I can't wait for you to share about seeing your work people next week.

Man I can't WAIT to get to 200! I was estatic to get under 300 which I hadn't been since my baby was born in 2004!!!

I'm so excited for everyone.  I know having the surgery in a way guarantees us a minimal amount of success, but having it actually happen for us is amazing..  Wow, I'm so teary today.

I had a wow today.  We are in the middle of musical auditions and one of the guys trying out today walked in and looked at me and told me that I looked YOUNGER!!!  Wahoo!!!!!!

Younger too!  BONUS!!!

And the tray table on the airplane did not touch my stomach!!!

New idea I may try...I have a couple of pair of jeans that mostly fit my belly, but the legs are crazy too big.  I am thinking about sewing up the side of the legs...sound like crazy talk???
