Hello 160's! Progress update/scale victory!

I have finally cracked into the 160's this morning!  WHOOT the scale officially says 169.8 today!  That means I have lost a total of 70 pounds since I started this journey!

169.8 pounds!!!    I have not been in the 160's for decades I am sure of it!  It's been 175 days since I had surgery with Dr Kelly in TJ MX.  That is 25 weeks ago - time has gone fast.... so have all of my old clothes.  They are just memories now!  I have gone from a 16 to a 10 and some 8's!  An XL top to a Medium (and a couple of smalls!).  

169.8!!!  It has been less than 6 months.... I am 14.8 pounds from my final goal of 155!  I believe I can do this.  If I continue at the current pace of about 5 pounds per month I will be there around October!  Amazing - that is what this tool is!

Hello 160's!  Welcome to my life!  Please enjoy your stay - I hope it's brief - but believe me you are welcome in my life!  I missed you all of these years - and I am going to enjoy your visit!

Have a safe and happy 4th of July everyone!  I intend to celebrate - Freedom sweet freedom from the weight that held me back so long!

Congrats to you, I know how you are feeling it is a good feeling and I can't wait to be in the 160's also...

I am 16 weeks out  from 239lbs I now weigh 180lbs which somedays it feels very scary because am think wow have I lost some much weight in such a short time? My goal is 130lb which they say is my ideal weight...my sister had the Gastric bypass done not the sleeve she has lost 60lbs so far but lost a lot of  inches...she is losing slowing which is the best thing to do she is 1 year out but extremely happy with the results...

Doesn't it feel good to be slim again..yeah.....There are no regrets.....

Have a Happy and a Blessed 4th.....
