Down 60 pounds! YEA

[worm2872 635]

Hi All,

I cannot believe it has been over three months since my surgery. I am down 60 pounds overall from 275 and down 48 from surgery. My loss has been pretty steady, on the slow side, but I am OK with that since it keeps coming off. I have had some gains here and there but they don't last. My exercising is getting better. I am walking every day before work. It is not a lot but at least it is better than nothing. I am down from a 22/24 to a 14/16. Just bought some new clothes for work. I was lucky to have some horded away from before. I do get depressed some days, looking for more weight loss, missing certain foods, etc. but this is the best decision I have ever made. When I get down I go look at my size 14 jeans LOL. :wub:

I am turning 41 tomorrow and I am not unhappy this year the way I was last year about my weight. It is a LONG AND HARD road but it gets easier every day. I try not to think about the future and take it one day at a time.

I wrote on MFP that I carried a 50 pound bag of salt up the basement steps last week and that was struggle. Then is dawned on me that I was carrying that weight around and more. My highest weight in 1/2011 was 298. That was a real shocker to me!

For the pre-op folks out there: It is worth it. If I can do this you can too.

Congrats! I'm down 60 pounds too! It feels great doesn't it. Seeing the pounds coming off also keep me motivated. I can't wait to reach my goal weight. I haven't gone shopping for clothes yet but I am going to have to soon to keep my jeans from falling off, LOL.

This is definitely a long and hard road but it is well worth it.

Best of Luck!

Congrats! I'm down 60 lbs too! It feels so good to have more energy. I do miss certain foods too, but our health is top priority, not crapy food.

What a great entry for us in pre op still! Happy birthday, you should be very proud of your accomplishments! That's a fantastic idea to carry 50lbs--really shows you now much weight you were carrying around and how your joints felt lol.

Best of luck for continued success and weight loss!
