Under 300 lbs

This morning the scale read 299. I haven't weighed under 300 pounds in over 20 years. I weighed twice just to make sure. The way my body has lost weight has made me look kind of like a bowling pin LOL Why is it that the hips and thighs were always where I have been the largest, are the slowest places to shrink? It is a mystery to me.

Congrats Joanne!!! I am also a pear shape and relate to hip and thighs not budging.

Yep, me too - hips and thighs of thunder...
Good for you - it feels great to have the weight coming off - we all tried so hard in the past.

I broke into the 200s weeks ago and am at 285 - which feels darn good. And counting...

Congrats! I hit that about 2 weeks ago. It is a wonderful feeling.

50 lbs lost pre-op-the rest is post op.
