I just did the Math

When I was 17, I went on a WW diet trying to shed off about 30 lbs I had over what I wanted. (I lived in the US then, so thought in lbs! LOL). It took me ONE WHOLE YEAR to lose 25 of those 30 lbs.
Today, I weighed myself and did the math. I have lost in total 9.7 KILOS (including 3 I had lost the week or so pre-op), so I converted it to lbs., so I  can compare with others. Guess what? 9.7 kilos equals 21.3 lbs! In 2-3 weeks!!
I am giddy with excitement. (Or maybe I am giddy with hunger? LOL) It's almost worth the torture I went through the first 2 weeks post-op that I kept posting about!
  
Over 110 lbs lost!! (Finally!)

Vickie, I have a ticker, in kilos because I weigh myself in kilos. I don't know if there is a way to automatically convert to lbs.
