Hello ALL !!! 100 lbs gone

Hello everyone ..

I stepped on my scale this morning and it read 165 .. when I had my surgery on 10/6/10 I weighed 265 . WHOO HOOO ....

I haven't been on in a while .. lots of stuff has happened ..
I recently moved into my Mom's house at her request.  She said since she is almost 70 years old now she can't handle her house alone any more .. So my son Michael and I moved into her house last month.  I was surprised at how quickly my trailer sold .. But I have discovered in the last few years that God will make things move in the direction he wants them to very quickly if you don't fight his influence.  Things seem to be going quite well with the three of us in this house and i have lost 3 pounds since moving in here.  
About 4 months ago my Psychiatrist cut my meds in half .. so I have gone from taking 300 mg of Effexor XR to 150mg.  I have an appt with him in about two weeks so I will see what he says then about my medications.  Wondering if he will take me off them entirely eventually because I have worked through so many issues with my therapist that it may not be needed much longer.
The big issue with me was my  weight .. I was talking with my mom last night and she says that she has never seen me this happy.  I feel good, almost able to keep up with my 6 year old son.   but the only thing that can really keep up with a 6 year old is another 6 year old .  lol .. the other day I was walking to the car and my son was trailing behind and he was saying wait for me mom.. It wasn't that long ago that i had to tell my son to wait up for mama..

Hope everyone is doing well
Be Blessed

Jenn

Congrats Jenn, you have rocked your tool.  I recall when you first joined this group.  Sounds like you are doing amazing now.  So great to hear.  Life does get busy, for all of us.
