With this morning's weigh-in...

[Wheetsin 714]

I'd quit talking about my weightloss stats, removed them from my siggy, etc. because I know that reading loss stories can be hurtful if you're someone who isn't losing, and hey - it doesn't hurt me any to not have it advertised. But now I'm thrilled & not holding this one in so if that's you, don't read this post.

I'm 2.5 months post-op.

:dance: As of this morning's weigh-in I have "officially" (as officially as my home scale gets, anyway) lost 33% of my excess weight!

:dance: I have gone from needing to lose exactly 200lbs to needing to lose 134lbs!

:dance: My BMI has gone from 56.4 to 47!

:dance: I'm within 15 - 20lbs of reaching the weight I was at 2 years ago on Atkins, which was the lowest I'd been in about 8 years!

:dance: Having the "left to lose" number start with a 1 makes this seem so much more attainable!

:dance: Soon my "left to lose" number will be double digit!

:dance: I have gone from tight sz 34 jeans to a comfy sz 26 jeans! That's 4 sizes!

Ok, composure regained...

That is so awsome Wheetsin!

Congrats! I know it's a great feeling seeing that "I need to lose" number fall!

I'm so happy for you!

Congratulations, girlie! :hug:

Hey mini_me, I'll trade you having 200# to lose, for "only" losing 10 lbs in 2.5 mos any day!

I did forget to take before pics this time, but I do have some older ones, from a few years ago... my "before" when I started Atkins. I was actually a little lighter this time around, but not by a whole lot so they could still be fairly accurate. Maybe I'll see if DH can snap a pic tonight. I don't think to post before/afters, even though I keep them in my blog.

And thanks guys. Seeing the change in BMI is what really gets to me. I keep thinking how much HEALTHIER of a number that is...
