I can't believe I've lost over 100 lbs!

I got on the scale this morning and to my delight the scale displayed 163!!! That is 101 lbs from my all time high. I still am having a hard time believing it. My high weight of 264 was about 2 yrs ago. I brought it down to 253 when I started this journey and had lost down to 233 at surgery. Today I weight less than I have in more than 3 decades and I'm beginning to believe that I just might break into the 150's before my 50th birthday on Feb 9th! We'll see.

I am so grateful for having the opportunity to have this lifechanging surgery. It has not only changed my health and my body, but it's also changing my relationship with food. I never thought that I'd be "normal" ...

101 Gone! ... 26 to goal or what my Dr considers my "ideal wieght."

Thanks for giving me a place to shout my joy.

Suzanne -

You are soooo right. It wasn't long ago that we just had this surgery, then moved into wonderland and now hitting the Century Club! While we are walking this path it seems like it's taking a while, but in hindsight ... it's been lightening fast.

I'm looking forward to hearing of your next wow moment my friend!

What a wonderful goal you have met.

I agree with you about how relationship with food changes.

I noticed listening to the radio this morning about a resterant and they were talking about all the foods and what they recommend at one time I thought OMG that is too much food at once.Have a wonderful day.                                                 Annie

It is never too late to be what you might have been.?

Hi Annie -

I agree. It's amazing not only what they serve, but that I used to eat it all! Things sure have changed.

Thanks again for your consistant support.
