Stepped on the scale this morning and BAM.... I'm down 151.6lbs!!!! WOOHOO! I guess the waiting paid off!

 

Right now I weigh in at 152.9lbs.... if I lose another 0.65lbs, I will be exactly HALF of myself! That'll definitely be a day to celebrate!!!!

 

I never ever thought this day would come.... I barely could believe that I would ever get to ONEDERLAND... let alone below 180... and so on.

 

This journey is so incredibly unreal.

 

Right now I'm up to running 25-30 minutes every few days and hot yoga every few days. I need to do it to lose the weight.

I am trying to hit a mini-goal of 150lbs... but the doctor said I'm OK to go as low as 146lbs.... we'll see if that's even a realistic goal when I near it.

 

For anyone considering... I came into this with absolutely NO hope... I felt it was "one more stab at it".... but the band was just the addition to my motivation and stubbornness that I needed to fight my PCOS and get the weight down!

 

Thanks everyone for being here for me always and checking my blog and commenting and just being so supportive during my good times and bad. I've met so many wonderful people from here and now still need your support more than ever... especially considering I am a million miles away from home! LOL  

 

I know i recently posted photos for the mini surgiversary, but here is a repeat:
