I have lost 150lbs!!!! Love my band!

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:

you look amazing......congratulations on your success. What an inspiration to all of us here. thanks for sharing. Carol

   I am happy for your success. I think one of the items we notice is the "positiveness" of your posts. After all the years of tears and failures, it is so nice to be able to look at the future and OWN it. The other item is how much you are doing with your life, the travels, the LIVING, that maybe before was just not happening.
   Love your stories of teaching the young ones too!

 I'll never stop saying it...you were beautiful then but you are so absolutely stunning now, Elena! Truly. WTG on working hard to reach your goal and keep it successful.

Elena, seeing you with your kids is just a real treat.   You, girlfriend, give new meaning to the term "skinny jeans"!    Fabulous, fabulous, fabulous!!
