6 months and finally weighing under 200 lbs.  112 lbs total!  RNY rocks.

YAY, how exciting to be under 200!

Thanks Kristy.  It feels great to be under 200lbs.  Especially since my dr said that he thought that I would end up being about 200 lbs when I was through.  He didn't think that at my starting weight and my age I would get much lower.  I am 51.  I didn't like hearing that at all.  I hope he tells me something more positive when I have my appt next week.  I think since I am where he thought I would be at the end now at 6 months he might have to change his mind.  I work out at the gym 5 days a week.  I try to do everything I can to make this work for me.  I want this so bad.   

Sooooooooooooooo Awesome!  Congratulations!!!  It's a great feeling, isn't it?  Can't wait 'til mine reads that way and STAYS that way!  lol  (I had it at 198/199 for two days, now it's reading 203 again)  GRrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Keep up the great work!!  This is truly celebratory news!

I once heard that on the way down, if you hit a number, you own it.  What you are experiencing right now is a flucuation.  heh heh  You are still 199 but in a flux.  You will get there again soon and below.  I won't get on the scale now for another week.  I don't want to see any flux.  It would freak me out. 

I wish I could stay off the scale for a week!  I think I've traded my food addiction for a scale addiction!  LOL  It's the first thing (well, almost first thing) I do every morning right before I get in the shower!  I know I'll get there.. it's just frustrating in the meantime.

I am, however, totally celebrating your success!!  Keep it up!

I have to admit that I got on the scale today.  I usually only do it on Monday or Tuesday.  Well, I got to thinking about how you said that your weight went up a tad.  I started freaking out thinking that I was in my 100's but really I was probably in the 200's.  So, I got on and Whew!  What a relief.  It was 8 oz less than before.  I wi**** would have been lbs but I will take ozs.  I will try not to let the number of the scale take me over.   I too get obsessed.  That is why I only weigh once a week.  If my weight went up I would actually get depressed.  I had to stop doing that to myself. 

congrats on weighing under 200 i finaly got there is well at 6 mnths out

I guess it is our lucky month!  Now my next goal is 150 lbs.  Then I will work on goal weight.  Woot woot!

Congratulations Sandy!!!! I am so happy for you. You look great too!
