7 month numbers!! ;-)

Well, at 6 months I hit 80 lbs. lost and then the floor dropped out.  I sat there and sat there and the scale did not move except for one miraculous time it dropped to 139 and then climbed back up again. 

I'm going to go with that 139 though and claim 5 lbs lost this past month!!  BECAUSE total inches lost this past month is 8.25!!!!  THAT is why the scale hasn't been moving as much! 

Hence, at 7 months post-op:
           I've lost 85 lbs. since my high weight
           I've lost 66.5 inches total so far
           My bodyfat is 38%
           My BMI is 25.42 and at the very low end of the Overweight designation

It's all still working and I'm trying hard to keep up the exercise and NIX the carb snacking.  For the most part I do okay.  I could always do better though. 

But, who couldn't?   ;-)

The thing that matters is all the things I can DO today!!  It's a miracle.  Life is good.  I feel very blessed.  Thank you LW's for sharing the important stuff that keeps me sane and on the right track, even though I stumble a bit from time to time.

Love to all y'all!

 Wow Ruthie!!! You have done positively amazing! You inspire me. And I hear you on the carb snacking. I'm trying so hard to nix unneeded carbs. 

Anyway, you are doing wonderfully. 66 inches? Holy crap! That, in itself, is to be celebrated! What size were you and are you? (Ignore if that's too personal.)

Thank you Kelly!  I was a 24 and 3x and "for now" I'm a 12 and Medium.

;-)

Wow - congrats Ruthie!  You've definitely been rockin' your tool. 

You are doing the right things - you'll lose more.  5 lbs in a month, at 7 months is really quite normal...

Thanks Jody!  I'm glad to know there's is at ONE thing that is quite normal about all this.  LOL

Good job, Ruthie! Rock on, babeeee!
