Accomplished 2 of my !!!!

Another WOHoooooooo I just realized I have accomplished 2 of my goals I made when I joined OH almost a year ago. I have lost the first 150 pounds a bit ago. The other is I can actually "Fit" into a normal bathtub again. I have not even tried to get in one in probably 3 or 4 years. I am sick right now with a pretty major cold and steaming up the bathroom with hot mois****er really helps the lungs. I broke down and actually got in and i just started crying when I realized I CAN fit very comfortable in the bathtub again. I started this permanent change in my life at 463 pounds. I am as of today 305 in almost 8 months. I look in the mirror and see some change. Other days and all I see is that I still have this big tummy. And ask myself  why isn't it going away" I knew I am loosing. In about 5 more pounds of loss I will be able to fit into these pants I bought almost 3 years ago and though it would only be a dream if I ever fit into anything like them again. Well I will real soon. \\

 

Anyway, I wish everyone a very Happy Christmas. Hug your kids, scratch your pets and curl up with your mates in front of a nice Christmas Eave fire and bless God for everything you have.

Congrats on meeting 2 of your goals!!!! it is a wonderful feeling when we know we are making progress!!

congratulations to YOU!! that is all wonderful news.

we started our journeys at exactly the same number! i, too, was 463 on the day of my surgery! and i had been avoiding bathtubs for nearly 20 years. i decided to take a bath a year or more ago...it was quite an experience...i was shocked (and appalled) by how all my loose skin floated!

it's been nearly 4 years since my surgery -- i'm weighing in at 165 now, and have had a couple rounds of plastics to remove skin. it's a wonderful life -- well worth the struggle!

all the best to you! happy holidays!

Congratulations Kathleen!!! Those are 2 outstanding WOW'S!

That is so awesome Kathleen!  I'm very happy for you!  I feel the same way as you......I still see the fat guy in the mirror every day even though I'm losing weight by leaps and bounds.........but that image of me is going to take a few years to erase and re-draw......it'll all come in time :)

Merry Christmas to you too!

Congrats sweetie
You have done wonderful and enjoy your bath..
It feels so good doesnt it,its hard to explain to someone who has never gone through this just how good it feels.
Have a Merry Christmas..

Congratulations! I can't wait for a bath myself! Get yourself something bubbly and fun to celebrate!

Kathleen, Thank you so much...after reading your post I thought "Could I???" and I could!  and I did!  I haven't had a bath in a regular tub in a long, long time (10 years?) and it was awesome!
