My NSV!
Yesterday I was at our Brantford symphony's annual giant book sale and it was a bit crowded around one table of books. An older lady was beside me and I was trying to get around her but I had a bag of books over my shoulder. She moved her stuff over a little and said to me that should be good because I'm SMALL! Me small??? I haven't been called that in years and I'm just 9 weeks post op! It made my day. I think I told my husband at least 5 times last night!

Opti Wt Nov 4/17 226 lbs BMI 45 Sx Wt 212 lbs RNY surgery Nov 23/17 M1 -18 M2-9 M3-10 M4-8 M5-6 M6-7 M7-6 M8-3 M9-1(so far) Down to within one pound of my goal and 99 lbs down from my highest weight. I was not a fast loser but who cares as long as you get there! I know the newbies check the trackers and the signatures so although I kind of lost track of how the rest of the weight came off, you should know that it was not fast and furious but it was slow and steady!
current BMI 24.7 that, my friends, is NORMAL!!! Strong is the new pretty!
