Just realized...
As of this morning, and only 16 days since my RNY, I've lost just over 25% of my "excess weight"... 53 lbs gone, 153 to go. And I feel great. Wore a shirt today that my wife bought me over a year ago, and it didn't fit at the time. Now it's a little big on me! Sheesh - what a terrible problem to have - NOT! I'm loving this.
Woohoo!
Woohoo!
Great job!
I kno wht it is like to put something on tha never fit and have it be big. I have a shirt a friend gave me about 9 years ago that never fit and now is a bit big.
Keep up the good work.

Jim ..... You are at just the top of a big wave that will take you on a wild ass ride for a year. I have exceeded the changes and sizes that I thought I would end up at. Im in clothes sizes now that I was in when I was 13yrs old!!!!!!!! Im happy to hear your joyful acclaims to your loss so far but under my breath Im saying "Sheet youve just started,just wait." You are doing great.... Steve
Way to go JIM!!! Enjoy the ride...and shopping for new clothes! Just don't spend too much, they won't fit long! Keep up the great work!

Losing 53 lbs in 16 days is amazing!! Congrats on your success and hard work.
Remember, you're responsible for this success by following your eating plan and doing the exercise. It's not coming off without good work on your part.

Just got back in from taking a walk. I've developed a full-blown head cold, but didn't want to skip walking. My wife thinks I'm crazy. I guess I am - crazy with the possibilities life is opening up to me. I committed to this weight loss journey, and promised myself to do everything within my power to succeed. I really didn't want to go tonight, but I know from past experience that's a slippery slope for me... So, I got out there (this time without the dogs) and discovered that the wind had died down and it was just "cool" instead of "cold" and my walk turned out to be very pleasant.
Now, I can shower and go to bed with clean body and conscience, knowing I've stayed with my plan. Feels good, and all the encouragement from you guys really helps. It's hard for me to believe how good I feel about myself, after years of just letting things go. I know I'm still "super morbidly obese" at this point, but I'm just a few pounds away from being just "extremely obese"... Who would have thought reaching THAT point would qualify as a celebration event? But passing it on the way down is quite different from on the way up, and I'm exicted. 7 more pounds, and I'll be there...
Thanks for all your encouragement and support. We're all in this together, but we have to do it for ourselves.
