5 Months and I’m Overweight!
 |
|
Yep – today is 5 months since my surgery and I’m still doing great and not regretting a single thing!
The best part about today? I stepped on the scale this morning and at 174.6 pounds – I am considered OVERWEIGHT. I am no longer Super Obese, Morbidly Obese or even just Obese — I’m overweight — which feels like something to celebrate but I’ll save the big celebration for when I hit “NORMAL”  |
| The rate of loss is slowing down but it hasn’t stopped and thats to be expected as you get closer to your goal weight. According to the BMI chart here, I should hit 100lbs gone sometime in January – we’ll see! |

5 Month Overview:
I’m down 70 pounds
I’ve lost 53 inches overall – my poor boobies!
I love sitting and crossing my legs
I am still on NO medications
My blood sugar is normal, my cholesterol levels are great
I haven’t found any foods or drinks that bother me (other than too much sugar)
I finally narrowed my protein powder list to a few favorites and can stop shopping around
I don’t cry when I see a picture of me anymore
I look forward to seeing people I haven’t seen in years
I might actually attend my 30th class reunion – I have never gone to one!

I’m looking forward to hitting the “overweight” mark soon, too. Only those of us who’ve been on “the other side” know how exciting this is. Congrats!

You are doing so great. I was thrilled to be “overweight”.
