I've lost 1/3 of myself!!

Wow!  So this weekend was my family reunion...of course I got TONS of compliments.  My family all knows about the gastric bypass, and of course many tell me how great it would be if my mom could get it too (which I make sure to tell her SHE has to be ready for it - make sure it's something she really wants before she does it - and I think she's almost to that point).

Anyway...I realized - I have lost over 1/3 of my body weight!!  I was 315 at my highest - I have lost 108 pounds - that is just over 34% of my total body weight!! WOW!!!! 

My mom said that I'm smaller now than I was in High School - and I think she's right because in HS, I was wearing plus size!

Congratulations.. 108lb. That's a whole "small" person.  I can't wait to be able to say that.

Julie

Thanks, Julie!  You're well on your way! 

That is awesome, congrats! Man, 108lbs... you lost a supermodel! I can't wait to lose mine!
 Excellent job!!!

LOL.  Thanks!  And you'll get there!!

I think about it...my kids together weigh just about 100 pounds...it was like carrying them around!! Crazy!!  I can barely lift my 6 year old now...couldn't even pick up both of them! 

Oh...and Saturday dh gave me a piggy back ride!!!

LOL Annie!  I've lost about the same here isn't it amazing??

Big wow on the piggy back ride, I though about my hubby trying to do that with me and I'm still scared I would crush him.  Funny how the head has a hard time keeping up with the body!

I know...it was a bit scary...and it wasn't a LONG piggy back ride...but it was fun too!  Yeah, the mind has a long way to go to catch up to the body...I still see myself as 300+ pounds most times I look in the mirror - except my face...I actually like the direction my face has gone LOL.

Congrats Annie....

You have lost the equivent of my neice... FYI she is 14 YO  and 5' 10"... and could be a super model... 

I am excited about  "losing my super model" too.

See you on Saturday.

Annie,

You look amazing!!!! I can't believe how busy I have been since I took over as manager. I can't wait to see you again. Hopefully I will see you guys this Saturday! I am really looking forward to being there as long as we don't get slammed at work. So we will see!
