It's Over -- Plus My 6 Month Check Up!!

Another "prime time" under my belt.  Still really tired but it's over.  Working at home the rest of the week -- taking a few naps during the day too.  Had 212 hours in between April 1 and April 15.....Exhausted. Had a new badge picture taken so I posted it --- but Tracy sent me another picture she took at coffee so I may change to that one later!!! Met with Barb Johnson yesterday for my six month -- thank you to Barb for adding me with her good eye !!!! -- and my results are: Officially down 94.4 pounds  BMI is 22.2   Lost 14 inches off my waist and 12 inches off my hips I've gone from a very tight 20 to a comfortable size 4 pants, a 48 DD bra to a saggy 36C (seriously considering breast surgery next summer after everything settles down), and a 2X to a small shirt. Will have the normal blood drawn tomorrow morning but based on how I've been feeling, I'm sure the tests will be normal. What an amazing 6 months -- it really has been a ride...... And I thank all who have encouraged, complimented and inspired me through my journey.   Looking forward to the next six months.......

 

Wow!!  Congratulations on so many things. (Glad you made it through another Tax period) And this is all in just 6 months...Wow!! You look great! You've done a fabulous job.

Thanks -- the tool helps A LOT!!!

I was just thinking of you earlier today and how you must be relieved tax season is over! :)  You have done amazingly well , Barb!!!  Look forward to seeing the new pic :)

Thanks --- BUT ~~~~ WOW -- look at you!!!  Talk about a new picture!!!!  You're looking great!!!

Holy schmacks Barb, those are some serious hours. uff da Gosh, I still remember your first avatar and I remember you starting your journey and being so patient while everyone got their dates and then you finally got your date! Aw, memory lane. Look how far you've come since then Barb?! Amazing, just amazing. You look wonderful! Congrats on your journey thus far.

Thanks!!!  But looking back I have to say the past year of "meeting to six months out" has flown by!!!  I'm thankful every day for the tool and the great encouragement I get from people like you!!!

WHOAH!!!!  You look amazing!  I remember when you were in the pre-op phase and now here you are a changed person.  Size 20 to a size 4?  Now that deserves a Congratulations! Michelle :)

Thanks!!!  And having encouragement from the ones who went before me truly helped a lot.  And you being one of them!!!

You lady are an inspiration!  6 months and you have achieved so many milestones.  Size 4 pants......can't imagine ever being in single digits.  Small shirts......holy cow! Glad you are working from home and getting caught up on your rest.  Those hours were insane! Bonnie
