Half way today!!!

[sickofrollercoaster 7]

Happy Saturday Morning Everyone!

Got on the scale this morning (my morning ritual in my birthday suit!) and BAM! I am half way to goal!!!

Monday will be 11 weeks since surgery and I have lost 35.4 pounds, 35.2 pounds to go until I reach my goal!

I have started exercising so I am hoping that it will not take another 3 months to get to goal but I guess if it does, it is still weight loss and not gain!

I love my decision more and more everyday. Thanks for all the support from everyone. This has truly been a lifestyle change, I have made changes in my life I never thought possible. I don't mind getting out of the house anymore (going to the pool today and actually looking forward to it!).

I can't imagine how I will feel when another 35 pounds is gone, that is still unimaginable to me but I will continue to take it day by day and Celebrate the little successes along the way.

I went shopping yesterday and for the first time in a long time, I bought almost everything I tried on, it used to be so the opposite! Everything was size S/M and size 8! YEAH!!!

Have a great weekend and again, thanks to all on this forum, an amazing resource of support and encouragement!

Great job angie.... I know you've worked really hard. I can't believe your in an 8, Good for you. I can only imagine how great it feels to shop. I haven't been yet... I'm just trying to make due with what I have to get through the summer because I know I won't be able to wear any of it next summer (its a great problem to have). I have lots of little summer dresses and what not so I can change shape quite a bit and still fit them.

Exercise is great. I have always loved to exercise. As you know, us lightweights loose slow and I'm pretty sure the exercise has been whats saved me on many a weigh day.

We will be there before you know it.
