I have now lost half my starting weight - wow

[CowgirlJane 14,260]

Thanks to 5:2 and upping exercise, I am losing weight again (slowly). I initially started doing 5:2 because my weight had bounced back up to the low 160s, and I easily got back to my goal range of under 158, but had been stuck there awhile.

I can't believe it - I finally broke the 155# barrier and now weight 154 - several days in a row...haha. Anyway, my starting weight before the 2 week preop diet was 308 - so that is half!

My lifetime high weight (that was ever recorded anyway) was 332, but that was several years before my surgery so i don't count that.

Wow. Just wow.

As you know, I am getting ready for plastics and I would say 6 months ago I had a certain...loathing for that extra skin. this morning I was looking at it in the mirror thinking... not bad considering it used to hold the weight of TWO women not just one. I am excited about looking better, and getting rid of that low belly, but, not bad all in all.

This morning doing my Julian Michaels DVD (dusted her off the shelf) - I was reminded of one of my favorite quotes from her - paraphrased

"Transformation is not a future state, it is a current activity"

That is just so true.

fan-bloody-tastic!

Glad to see the 5:2 is suiting you too... it has gotten me out of my set point and I feel, at last, like my weight loss isn't over -

3 1/2 yrs out that is no mean feat!

Well done you...
