1 year surgiversary
What I had "hoped" to achieve by now was to be under 200 lbs, and what I had expected was to lose around 100. As of this writing, I have lost 185 lbs. I went from a size 26 to a 16, and I'm 5 lbs from being in "Onderland". I have a LOT of loose skin and my boobs are non-existent I swear, lol, but the bad is very much overshadowed by the good. I no longer need a seat belt extender. I can stand on my feet for my 10 hour shift at work with minimal discomfort (just a slight ache in my calves, but even that is barely noticeable anymore). I can pretty much wear what I want, and even my shoe size went down! I used to wear lots of super girly dresses, and I think now that I only did that because it was very hard to look good in jeans and a t-shirt.
I do not regret my decision, not once.. and I know that I never will.

Jumped on the scale this morning and I'm 202, lol. I guess it's closer than I think! Hopefully Christmas doesn't put me back at all, I have found myself nibbling on things that I shouldn't be. Happy Holidays everyone :)
