Wow!

I am so excited. I got up this morning and weighed myself. As I was getting ready for church this morning my mom pulled an old skirt of mine out of the closet and asked if I want to try it on just to see if I can fit into it. I told her no at first because it was a size 22 and I wear (or so I thought) a size 26/28 in skirts and pants. I couldn't believe it! I slipped it right on with no struggle. We were so excited. I can't believe I am actually losing weight . I haven't felt this good in years. I was a size 22 before I got pregnant. I have 20 more pounds to lose to get to my pre-pregnancy weight of 278 lbs. That will be my next goal. I also measured myself. I have lost 2 more inches from my waist (4 total) and 1 1/2 inches from my legs. I just can't wait until I reach my goal. I see that I can really do it now. I go in for surgery at 5:30 tomorrow morning.

Congrats! This is a very exciting experience. The one thing I wish I had done was documented my progress monthly through photos. Have fun getting into old and new clothes.

Greatly Blessed and Kkarryall: You will be in my prayers tomorrow. I had surgery done on June 6th and it went really well. Small amount of pain, only had to take one dose of the narcotic. You guys will do really well.
