It starts with a 2... WOOOO HOOOOO
Congratulations, Claudia! I didn't start out over 400 but I was getting there at 379. I lost 18 before surgery and have lost 67 since surgery (Sept 9, 2003): I too went into the 2's this week at 294 so I am right there with you. People are really noticing and commenting on how great I look (relative to where I started, I look a lot better) and I'm enjoying that, but I'm not sure it's really sinking in with me. I keep asking my friends "can you really tell the difference?" and they are shocked that I would even ask them that. Quite a journey, isn't it?
