6 months anniversary!

Today is my 6 month anniversary of the start of my new life!  I started this process with the seminar in January 2010, delays due to appointments being pushed back, scheduling around a vacation, to finally having surgery on November 16.

I did get a little frustrated with the scale at times, my average was only a couple of pounds per week.  But I've always gone down in size, so it's hard to complain.  I had been hovering in the 150's for over 2 months.  Went on a cruise, gained 4, but have lost 8 in the last 8 days.  I'm down to 146 now.  Wearing mostly 10's & 12's, Med/Large.

I feel awesome and highly recommend this procedure to anyone who is ready to improve their health and life.  I have much more self confidence too.

Never in a million years did I ever think I'd discuss my weight in such a public way, but I think it helps others, so here it goes!

March 2008 - My highest - 240
Jan 2010 - 225
March 2010 - first consultation with the surgeon - 218
Early Nov, 2010 - Preop - 199
Nov 16, 2010 - Surgery day - 194
May 16, 2010 - 6 months - 146

I've added a picture progression in my profile.  I'll add them here if I can figure out how.  :)

Wow, you look fantastic!

What a great 6 months you've had!

Congrats,
Lindsey

Congrats! Keep up the good work.

Congrats! Way to go.

 Way to go!!!!!

Thanks for the compliments and support!

I forgot to add that I am only 6 pounds from my goal of 140!  I will likely revise that down to 130-135, which would make me "normal" in the BMI range.

Sounds awesome and wonderful to me! Congratulations on doing so well! Hugs!

Dr. Domkowski did my surgery as well.  Congrats on your weight loss.  You look fantastic!

Thanks!  How are you doing?  I've thought about you and hoped all was well!

Dr. D is awesome!

Wow I love the way you noted your journey weight till now! I bet you feel like a million bucks!
