4 months post op!!!

It's been 4 amazing months since surgery and my life has changed in ways that I never expected it to change. I've lost 82 pounds, I've gone from a tight size 24 pants and 3X shirt to a size 16 pant (I can get into the 14's but won't wear them yet due to the icky muffin top!) and L or XL shirt, and I've lost 39.5 inches between my arms, bust, waist, hips, and thighs. Before surgery I was unable to excercise effectively. I could barely walk around the block without being exhausted. I couldn't maneuver the stairs at home to do laundry and I certainly couldn't play with my little ones. Now I work out at the gym 6 days a week, and am doing weight training to tone. and I LOVE it!!! this weekend as I was up and down the stairs doing laundry my youngest shouted for me and I RAN up the stairs to see what was the matter... I stopped dead when I hit the top realizing what I had just done. I don't remember the last time I was able to run up anything. I can shop the malls with my teenagers now without having to stop to rest and I can keep up with all of them. My husband is not a still type man... he's always on the go doing something and I can keep up with him now too... instead of lagging behind I work right beside him, and that has strengthened our relationship as well. And of course the cherry on top of it is all of you! I know your support has been as beneficial as that of my family. When I begin to feel down about a slow weightloss week or if life gets crazy and I can't make it to the gym for a day or two I am continually reminded of Sabrina's words to us that night and how we are beautiful. Girl, you will never know just how much that touched all of us, and how that song pushes me on sometimes when I don't FEEL like it right now. Thank you all of my OH sisters and Harem leaders *wink* Love to you all!!! Lisa

Thanks Laura! I think it's so easy to let ourselves slide with "just one treat" and so on and so on.... we've GOT to remember where we came from and what he had to go through to get where we are now... or continue on to where we are going. We CANNOT allow ourselves to get ****y and become complacent. I think we can all agree that where we've been is an unhappy place, and I doubt very much that any of us ever want to revisit that. I know I sure as hell don't.
