Goal! 200 Pounds Lost! - Official Celebration Thread

After a week of screwing with me, the scale decided to give it up this morning:  

So yeah. That's 200 pounds lost from when I started the pre-op diet at 375. Holy weight loss, batman. I woke up at 4:30 and could NOT get back to sleep. I gave up after an hour and got up and started getting dressed for the day. I was shocked that that scale coughed it up.

I'm going to sit and bask at that little ticker saying goal today. I NEVER thought when I put that as my goal that I'd ever see it. I don't even begin to remember when I was this weight or size. So, I'm screaming "goal goal goal goal" today. Tomorrow, I'll see how I feel and I'll be revising my ticker, but... for today. Today, I am celebrating a milestone. One I didn't think was possible.

You guys know my story and how I got here so I'm not going to make this long. Instead, I'm going to keep this big smile on my face and go enjoy a cup of coffee and ponder going and getting some new jeans so I don't look like a freak in these baggy ones. LOL.

I am glad you are going to get some new jeans - wouldn't want you looking like a freak. Then I hope you will fix your hair (which I assume you still have). I smile to think of you basking in the accomplishment. We are all there with you in spirit.

Yes, I didn't actually shave my head. I'll have the hubby take a photo to prove it later :)
