1st GOAL almost reached

I have almost reached my 1st celebratory milestone of being under 300 pounds.  It has been 5 years since I have been there.  I was supposed to have waited until this Friday to weigh, but that darn scale called my name "jump on me Frances", on Tuesday.  I just knew that it would probably show a gain since working the weekend and being off my schedule then.  Low and behold, it said I had lost 2 pounds.  Hey I will take that number.  I am even thinking that I might have been holding on to fluid, since Sunday and Monday I was peeing alot and I know that my water intake was not any higher than it normally is.  Since beginning to work out (3 weeks ago) I have been drinking more.

Wrote a long blog today.  TO sum it all up,  I have no regrets on having this surgery.  Nothing but good has come from it.  I am 60 pounds lighter and I feel tons better.  I am full of energy.  I look forward to exercising.  Miss it when I take my day off.  Sleeping better.  Having a more positive attitude all the time.  Less stressed.  Having a great time learning what I need to do to make this a LIFESTYLE change that I can live with!!!!

Yayyy Fran, and live is what we do.  Congrats on the loss.  Welcome to the rest of life.  I too feel the difference when I do not get the exercise in.  Let's continue to do this together.  Loser's united for each other.  Hugs
