Phila here!! U of P waiting on insurance to give me the ok

Please do not be discouraged. Look at your overall weight loss! That's incredible!! You should feel really good. i understand your concern, but lets look at it like this..Suppose you only lost 6 pounds a month for the next 6 mo. That would be 36 more pounds!! Dwell on the good and remember, the pounds lost is just a number on the scale. It doesn't reflect inches, behavior changes, making wise and healthier choices, loose clothing, compliments, how much better you feel, etc... Stay positive and hang in there. I think you are doing awesome!! Focus on your Non-scale victories! Keep up the great work

Hi, all. Quick note for now; I'll have to add to it later. But I simply must share:
Yesterday I thought I was looking good when visiting with a friend. We went to a mall and she (walking slow and behind me sometimes) said, "Damn, girl. You need to go buy some pants!! Those are hanging off your butt, you look like you've got Depends on."
Mind you, they were 'size 20' jeans--with zipper and button--that I could NOT wear 2 months ago.
We went into 'J. Jill's' (which I'd never heard of). We pulled a size 16 pant and I said, "oh no. ain't no way I'm in a 16 pant."
I actually had a moment of [fear? trepidation?], but a weird freak-out/fear moment before I reluctantly relented and agreed to try them on.
What guess what!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Whoo-hooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They FIT!!!!!!!!!!!! I could button and zip them. They looked so good on my @$$!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We took pictures.
She also took pictures of the back of the pants I was wearing. OMG. I cannot believe how BAGGY they are in the back. I could tell the thighs were loose, but the BUTT--was like empty sacks!!!!!!! I need to post the pictures. Even the sales lady said, "you need to not even wear those pants anywhere. You need new pants, I don't care if you get them from here or not, but do not leave this mall without some new pants...and wear them out of the mall!" My pants are sooooo baggy.
Anyway, I just wanted to share, to just say...you know...this stuff--VSG--actually works. Thank God.
OH!! I CRIED (right there in the dressing room) when I really looked at my thighs, hips and butt in those size 16s!! We then went to Chico's and I tried on a "size 3" pair of jeans. They fit too!!!!!!!!!! OMG. This is really happening. 3 months/ 45 pounds and counting.
I'm rushing; excuse any typos, please. Just had to share!

Last 70lbs 37lbs to my goal????

That is so awesome! Any tips for me? I am doing the color run in March and the 5k mudrun with obstacles in may..I too started where I could only run 1 min.. even less sometimes..now I'm up to 10 minutes..I could use some help pushing through to that second mile:-)

My stats weren't close to your, but here's a before & during photo... A kinda embarrassing one at that.haha.
