Half Way There

I am now 3 months and 1 week out from surgery, and I'm half way to goal. Yahoo!!!!!!!!!

I actually got to a highest weight of 215 lbs and have lost 48. This weekend I got together with my best friend and shopped. We hit the clearance racks at Macy's and I picked up some of the cutest things ever in about a size medium and averaged about $6 or $7 a piece. I can't wait till I fit in them. I even picked up cute tights that are size S/M, but the chart on back says they'll fit my height/weight.

Right now I'm in a size 14 from a size 18 (that were all too snug on me at 215 lbs). My knees don't hurt anymore going up stairs, my energy has come back, and I am so confortable in my own skin. I was getting so fat that I was biting the insides of my cheeks when I ate because they were so chubby.

I know what my goal is, and am working to hit it, but if I never lost another ounce, even this is great.

Woo Hoo!!! You are doing AWESOME....don't buy too many MEDIUMS, you'll be in a SMALL before you know it! I never thought I'd get smaller than a 14 or a medium but it will happen! I'm wearing 6's now and hoping to maybe drop one more size
