X-post 8 months out today

WTH I can't believe that it has been 8 months already.  I had a few small bumps in the road at the beginning but I'd do it all over again in a heartbeat! Here's a few things that I've done/happened since surgery.

1. Got C-diff bacteria and ended up in hospital.
2. Because of being sick lost so much weight the first month they had to take out my gallbladder.
Now for the good stuff:
3. Made my goal of being under 300 pounds by thanksgiving.
4. Got a personal trainer in January, and now go to the gym 5 to 6 days a week.
5. Can out walk my husband and kids.
6. Lost a total of 150 pounds so far.
7. Am training to participate in the AVON Walk for Breast Cancer.
8. Can wear a size 18/20.
9. Feel good about myself and love life again.
10. Have no more PCOS symptoms (except for the stupid hair growth).

I love this tool and am thankful everyday for it.
