Half the person I was a year ago

How has everyone been doing? I have been so busy with work, home and outdoor work that I only have time to lurk anymore it seems. So forgive me for just posting now but I was so excited this morning. I got on the scale and it has been moving so slowly lately but things are shifting and the inches are going. But this morning when I got on I finally hit the point where I have lost half of my body weight. I started out this journey on Oct. 12th at 339 pounds. This morning I weighed in at 169 pounds and that is a loss of 170 pounds. That is half of my original weight. I have never really set goals but always thought how cool it would be to be able to say I am half the person I used to be. Now I can say it. I am hoping to lose another10-20 pounds but at this point I am content with what I have achieved. I feel comfortable with what I weigh and know it will get better after the plastic surgery. I have so much excess skin and would love to get so much done, but will be satisfied with the belly and I would really love to get the arms done. The legs and rest can hide behind clothes but the arms really can't. Something to aim for I guess. Well, just had to share with all of you. Lots of love.......Gay

Congratulations on losing half of your body weight. That is amazing! I still have about 3 pounds to go to reach that goal. I think we are all more active and doing things out and about. That takes us away from the computer but it is nice to check in once in a while. Take care and keep up the good work, Tara

Gay, that's so exciting! And still hard to fathom, isn't it? I'm 12 lbs from that point. Congrats! Lisa
