This is a blog I just posted today:

Today is 3/13.  It has been 18 days since my surgery and I feel great!  Weight loss related, the scale read 212.5 this morning.  My highest weight was 244; highest at the surgeon's office was 241.  I have been using 244 as my starting point because that was the highest weight I remembered being.  So, I have lost around 30 lbs since I started this process !! Woo HOO!!

I measured myself today, as well.  Last time I measured was day before surgery 2/22.  Here is the comparison
                2/22                               3/13           inches lost
Bust:      49"/ 42" band              46/40        3/2
Waist:      47"                                44              3
Hips:        52"                                50              2
Thighs      26"                               24             2
upper arm: 16"                             15            1
                  total inches lost:                13 inches!!!

Non weight loss related, I got a big check from my daughter's natural father.  I haven't seen any type of support check from him since December and that was really small.  So, I guess he filed his taxes or came up with some money some how to get out of jail (where he has been for a few weeks for lack of payment).  Then went I went to the bank, I found out that my income tax came today too!!! YAY!! Couldn't have happened at a better time.  With moving and everything, I can really use the extra money right now.  I put a big chunk on my student loan and that was a huge weight lifted off me.  Now, I can focus on moving and getting settled in the apartment without having to worry about money for a bit.

Instead of complaining that the rosebush has thorns, be happy that the thorn bush has roses.

Awesome Lisa!!! Those measurements are going to get you through some trying times with stalls! Sometimes you are loosing inches but not pounds and it helps to keep track of that!

Great news on the $$ too! God knows that is always a wonderful thing!
