I blogged about it here on my profile (click to the left of this post, my name, "sleevegirl")

But I had to come and tell everyone...

I'm under 300! I'm under 300.

I'm under 300!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh wait... maybe you missed it..

I AM UNDER THREE HUNDRED POUNDS...

So, that means 77 lost since I started preop on 6/7 and 57 since surgery on 6/21.

Did I mention that I weigh under 300 pounds?

Those of you just starting out.... you can totally do this. If I can do it, ANYONE can. I have a long long way to go but it's shorter than it was earlier this Summer so it's all about the first step, and then the second step, and the third step. I figure I have hundreds more steps to go.

Those of you old farts, thanks for all the support :)

... and hugs to those who need them. I've gotten lots of virtual hugs over the past several months :)

Thanks :) I'm going to Vegas in a couple of weeks for a business thing.

I'm not a beer drinker, but I love margaritas. Supposedly, no alcohol during losing, but been wondering if a skinny margarita might be okay. Hmmm... I'm in the "not going to deny myself the small stuff" camp. We'll see how it shakes out, I guess :)

It's that surreal feeling of "is it really forever? is this some weird dream?". I finally gave some clothes away and stuff, I realized I was hanging on to them (at least subconciously) "just in case". Total mind stuff.

Thanks... oh, burns calories... *dances some more*
