8 months - 161.4 lost

I can not believe that in 8 months, I am 1/2 of my original size. I was 301.4 on surgery day and I am down to 140 now and "acceptable weight." I am SO ready for plastic surgery. I am trying to get the TT paid by insurance and I will be paying for the "girls" out of pocket. Is anyone else looking at PS now? It's hard to believe how far I have come in such a short period of time. I can not wait until after PS

All I can say is WOW, you are the woman!!!! Great job.

WTF... I am sooooo happy for you. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE know that I don't hate you but DAMN my little -119 seems like nothing now As for plastics...you may want to visit the plastics board...I'm not there yet but I read their posts Congratulations Tanya

DANG! that is great! Reneka

That is awesome. What exactly did you do everyday?

I ran a 5k on my 7 month anniversary and trained every day post-op for the run. When I had the surgery, I couldn't even walk up the stairs in my house to get to my tv room and I was bound and determined to run this 5k. I had lost 150 pounds in the 7 months and finishing the run was just icing on the cake. I'm 8 1/2 months out now and hope to have my PS in October when I'll be 11 months out. My every day is getting in my protein, never creating, never overeating, and drinking only water. Up until my race, I worked out 5 days a week but since my race, I've slacked off some and have only lost 1 1/2-2 pounds a week lately so the weight loss has slowed down a lot. My goal is to lose 20 more pounds before PS which means I need to kick it in gear and work out to achieve the goal.

Congrats that is so awsome. Can you tell me exactly what you are eating on a day to day basis. Im working out hard and eating about 4-5 oz 3x/day plus 2 snacks and losing very slow. I actually think I may not be getting in enough food. Im bored with my eating and may be eating the wrong things. My goal also is to run a 5k soon. If you would email me what your eating and maybe I can get off this plateau. Again congrats Leann 235/143/125 frustrated

Holy Sh*t Batman!!! That is fantastic!! Congratulations! I wish I had your drive...... I feel like I am losing so slow, and now with more exercise, I'm finding that I'm hungry more often. Keep up the Great work! Diane C.
