Update and feeling great...

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

Time sure does fly by quickly. My 6 month bandiversary is coming up

in another 3 weeks. I originally set my goal at 50lbs by 6 months,

that would make it 100lbs by a year. Well i've lost 41lbs and have

9lbs to go. Who thinks I can do it in 3 weeks? I can! That's only

3lbs per week. My average is 8.3lbs per month, so it's close.

I feel a lot better about myself already. Although, I still don't

look any different which is amazing. I've gone from 300.5 to 259 and

the before and after pictures don't reveal too much of any difference.

In that respect it's kind of a bummer, but I'm trying not to think

about that.

On a " positive thinking " note, this time last year I was 319 pounds...

my highest ever. So i'm 60lbs off that. I was pregnant though... but

not much of it was baby weight. I try to think like this to keep me

positive in times i'm depressed. So far it's working.

Whoever wants to make a notion that surgery is the easy way out is

wrong. This is the hardest struggle of my life, both emotional and

physical, but it's all worth it.

I hope everyone had a really great New Year, and I wish the best to

everyone for the next year in their journey!
