Congrats! You have just become a member of the Half Yourself Club which was a theme on this forum some years ago. It was either half your weight or half your pants size. I did it though have had a few pounds of regain that takes me out of it. Great moment to treasure. Diane S

haha, that's funny :)
And it's weird to think about, since I want to say "half myself" but in a way I'm so much bigger than I ever was before and that's amazing :D

Yea! I'm in that club. I started at 235 pounds and lost 100. But my pants size started at 20 and is now 4. So that puts me in "The One-Fifth Club." Double yea!

CONGRATULATIONS!!! Major Achievement Unlocked!!!! FTW! WTG! Gratz!
It's a dizzying and wonderful feeling, and a little bit of 'shake your head to make sure you read the number right" moment, isn't it! So, so happy for you! You did the work and deserve the accolades.
And you're still fairly recently post-op so that number will continue to drop as swelling diminishes. We are all dancing for you today. Can't wait to see the before & after photos. Take care!
