three months two weeks and halfway

I am three months and two weeks post surgery and have not had my 3 month visit due to the Dr cancelling.  Today I reached my halfway goal!  I havent been the fastest loser because I don't do much animal protein and I dont do shakes or powders(I do have a protein bar a few times a week)

I have gone from a tight size 22/24 bottoms to a very loose 18, soon to be 16 and from 2x & 3x tops to xl and some L.

I'm not exercising as much as I'd like, but with two small children(2.5 & 5) I'm still running around most of the day so I must be getting in just enough to make a difference.

I'm not in this to be the fastest loser, or to be the biggest loser...I just want to lose the weight and keep it off even if it takes me a couple of years.

On a side note, my Dad in New Zealand is having lap band surgery on the 18th!  I'm so proud of him!
 

 Way to go!  You should be very proud of yourself!  You lose on your terms using the tools you've been given.

The very best of luck to your Dad!  

CONGRATS to you!  Sounds like you have a really good attitude towards it all - It's NOT a race, and if it was?  Slow & steady wins it!

and YAY DAD!!!  Tell him to come here on OH & say Howdi!  Or G'Day, or whatever they say down there...  
 

Wonderful!  You must be feeling so much better.  What a great thing to do for your kiddies!

Great new picture, Mary! I can really see a different in your face. Much slimmer -wow!

How wonderful getting to your 1/2 way point and at just 3.5 months. YAY!  And, exciting about having your dad get the lap bad, that will be great support for you both!

Congrats You are on your way!!!!

Way to go! You are doing great! 

Congratulations to you on your great accomplishments so far!!  Slow & steady is an excellent way to go!  That's the way I'm doing it too!!  

Give your dad a big congrats on his upcoming surgery too!  I'll make room for him on the loser's bench too! 

Congratulations...you are doing awesome!!!
