Weigh in

Hello all... First I want to say happy friday early and I hope everyone has a great weekend. I went and bought a scale at walmart tonight and I am in shock. The the first time in many many years I am under 300lbs...Woohooo As you can tell I am very excited and happy. I am now down to 287 lbs. So that is a total weight loss of 83 lbs in a little less than 4 months since surgery and a grand total of 111 lbs including the weight I lost before surgery. This is a major incentive for me and my sister and I are joining the same gym with the next week. I have been very bad in the excercise department so I really have to kick my butt in gear. I keep thinking Oh my god, I'm ONLY 37 lbs. away from 250 and ONLY 87 lbs. away from 200. This seems so unreal. I also have to share the reason I finally went and bought a scale is because a coworker from my training class at work stopped me in the hall today and asked me if I've lost more weight because she said it looks like I'm shrinking before her eyes..lol It gave me a chuckle. Thanks for listening to me ramble. I hope all is well. Take care. ~Julie~ Open RNY 8/9/04 370/287/?
