Not enough insulation to keep me Warm!! (SV)

I have lived in Hawaii for the last 2 and a half years and I have adjusted to warm weather.  I have moved back to Houston and I am experiencing cold weather again.  Now I realize Houston isn't getting the freezing weather like some part of the world but the last time I experienced 30-40 degree weather was with added weight.  I used to wear shorts every day of the year no matter what the temp outside because I never got cold.  Well I am proud to say as of last nights visit to the scale I am officially down 102 pounds!!!  I am so excited I can't stand it.  As cold as I have been I wouldn't take that weight back for anything.  I would rather freeze my behind off than gain that weight back.  While on the scale two of my cousins decided to weigh themselves.  The first is a 20 year old girl cousin that weighs in at 225 with probably 20 pounds of that being all boob!!  I am happy to say I am only 20 pounds heavier than her.  The other is a 16 year old boy cousin and he weighs in at 235 so I am now only 10 pounds heavier than he is.  He is actually quite tall and into sports so I know his weight is healthy for him.  Anyway I just couldn't believe I have made 100 pounds so soon.  When I began this journey in April I was doing research on the different surgeries and all I was hearing was lapband patients don't lose as much weight or as quickly as bypass patients but I went with the band anyway because it was safer for future pregnancies.  I am now 7 months out and couldn't be happier with my choice.  thanks for all of the support getting to this point!!!

That is SUPER Awesome!!!  Congrats on  working that band girl!! 100lbs is a HUGE accomplishment!  You'll be at goal before you know it!!

Start piling on the layers of clothes to keep warm :)
