On Sunday, i weighed myself and was over moon to see 199.5! I haven't weighed this since i started college in the early 90s. I still have a ways to go (want to lose another 50) but am really happy with what has happened to me in a little over 5 months and hope i can encourage others since that's why we are on this site. This has definitely been a rough road from episodes of dehydration, having a liver biopsy, bouts of nausea, etc but knowing I am getting healthier every day is making the journey worth it. Sunday was a day of victories and i also took my first hot yoga class where i saw several very thin people just stop or leave the room but i made it though without a break (ok maybe a little break during the ab workout). Another NSV is shopping in regular sizes and buying a pair of pants in a size 12...they are tight but i got them buttoned! Yesterday i got on the treadmill and walked faster than i ever did during any other weight loss phase and it was ok. On a flight a few weeks ago, i voluntarily took the middle seat and didn't even touch the guy next to me! I'm no longer scared of booths in restaurants!

I would love to hear others' recent successes!

Congratulations :D All of these NSVs are great!

I remember my first pilates classes - I was so out of shape and couldn't sustain the curled up position for more than a few minutes. So glad I stuck with it :D

thanks! I keep telling myself one day at a time...i would love to try pilates..eventually!

Wahooooo :) Well done
