100 pounds in 5 months

I am feeling so very blessed that God has granted me the opportunity to have a surgery that has enhanced my quality of life, in so many ways. God gave me the strength nad courage to actually do it, and touched the hands of my surgeon as he operated on me, and pulled me through. As of today, I have lost 103 pounds and went from a size 24 to a size 10. I can walk without pain, get on rides at the amusement park with my teenagers, sit on the floor and get up, and go down the slide with my 2 year old at the park. This is living life for me...just being able to enjoy my family, and the fact that I look better is just an added bonus. This has been amazing and very serious at the same time. I don't take anything for granted including my health and I continue to thank God and do the best that I can. But...I am one happy camper right now. I'm just 17 pounds from goal..hooray! One question though....how do you get a century club card? Start- 270/167/goal-150

whoo hooooo.... congrats on centry club Hope!! Awesome job! Seems like it will be ages before I get to that 100lbs mark but I'm gonna keep chuggin along. Still hovering around 225 (started 281). PMS week big time.. well every other week is lately. I need to go visit with my ob/gyn and see if she can get me back on track. Keep up the good work!!! I'm off to Chicago to visit the SIL to be for her wedding shower. Will be the first time I'm seeing my brother and her since my surgery and a couple months since I saw my mom. Should be fun!

Hi Stacey, It's always nice to hear from you. Have a great trip, and your family will be really shocked to see how much you have lost.

What type of excerise did you do . DId you get a gym membership ?

I'm doing Ladies Workout Express, which is much like Curves. I go 3 days a week sometines more if time premits, and I go for long walks(2-3 miles) on the weekend.
