Lightweights!

I weighed in this morning and, at 5'4, I am officially...

OVERWEIGHT!

I'm so excited.  This means that I have now met my surgeon's goal for my surgery!!!!  He wanted to get me out of obesity, and it has happened.  

My next goal is to get out of the 170s.  That's 3 lbs away, so I'm hoping to get there by the end of the first week of October. 

Who else is on this obese/overweight brink?  Let's celebrate together!

Congratulations Rosa !!!! OOOH i bet the guyz in Ur neighborhood and on the subway think Ure just PERFECT and HEALTHY lol just as U are , gorgeous too.... overweight depends on where its DISTRIBUTED lol !!

( Ava sadly looks down at her still fat tummy and dilapidated behind ......) Ah well ... God gave us all different shapes for a REASON , right ?

Please explain Urself God ..... Ava looks up

Unfortunately God must be having a rest day and the gate keeper gives naughty Ava a scolding


He tells Ava if she continues to pray for a butt and waste God's precious time ... hes going to oblige her and turn her into a gosh - darned PUMPKIN for halloween Congrats Rosa ! truly Ure doing GREAT !

Congratulations you are doing great! I remember when I hit that. For me it was a new lease on life. The family health issues that come with obesity for me were life threatening. Getting out of the firing zone was of major importance. You are well on your way. Keep up the great work!

Nothing tastes as good as this feels!

Thanks, ladies!!!

I'm very excited. My coworkers were just telling me how completely different I look. AND, I went ahead and posted a new facebook picture, which was like my way of "coming out" to my older friends about having lost all this weight. I didn't mention the surgery on fb (though if they ask, I'm happy to tell them) and everyone loves the new look.

It's very rewarding to have all this affirmation.

But it's important to be on to the next goal, too.

160s, here I come [for the first time since college]...
