Before I forget...

I'm actually on here and was reading through posts and realized I'd forget to post an update if I didn't do it now so here I am. It appears as though I might be walking in a late summer onederland instead of a winter onederland like I originally had hoped! This morning, I weighed in at 202.8 on my home scale which is 1.6 lbs heavier than the scale at CHRIAS!!! It is literally just around the corner!!! My goal weight has been 180 lbs with a clothing size of 18, I'm already in some 18s and mostly 20s and am already 40 lbs lighter than Dr Wynn said I should expect to be by the end of the first year and 20lbs less than the total expected weight loss. I am so happy. We expected that after skin removal I MIGHT get to where I am now, yet I am still losing (which in a way is a bit scary but height charts put my ideal weight as 160). My hernia repair seems to be holding and I'm hoping to be back to work on Monday. I'm taking longer to recover than I'd like and have been out of work for a month now, but it's because of other medications that slow the healing process that I was on at the time of the surgery (unplaned). I wish I could be here more often and miss you all! I hope to hear from you soon, please feel free to email me! Hugs and love! Rachel PS For those of you who like spiritual stories, I'm going to post my testimony of faith on my profile today also. HUGS!

Glad things are going well for you! Keep up the good work! Debbie
