Yes! Surgeon's goal complete.  I feel like I'm going to keep losing but I need to be careful, I don't want my wedding dress to get too loose!

This year I feel better, not prettier or more confident, because I liked myself before. This year I feel healthier and more free. This year we moved into an adorable rental house. This year we're getting married. This year we're finally getting to start the life we want. This is a good year.

Wow, and I've lost 17 pounds since then...

My weight loss has definitely slowed but I'm still feeling great.  It seems to be picking up again a little.  I feel on track and I'm loving feeling healthier.  I knew my weight was slowing me down but I didn't realize how much until now.  Shopping is fun too because I have so many more options.  Fun fun fun.

Keep up the good work everyone!

I put a picture of me in a fun new Doctor Who inspired T-shirt on facebook, the response I got caught me off guard.  I guess I forget sometimes how much weight I've lost.  So awesome.

Oh and much discussion about my bras on the wall.  lol

Wow my body rebelled against me recently.  For months now I have stair stepped slightly.  I would lose down a lot and then up just a little.  I still showed loss on my official Wednesday weigh in.  On average between 2 and 3 pounds in a week.  All of the sudden in month 5 I finally had a long term battle with the dreaded constipation.  No matter what I did it would be slow until all of the sudden I'd clear up, then BAM next day cycle would start again.  This really made my stair stepping even worse.  I still lost every week but my losses dropped to an average 1-2 pounds a week.

Skip forward to last week.  Fresh dates have hit the farm stand and I picked up a box.  What a lifer saver!  I know dates are good for the stomach, but wow.  I know this is could all be a coincidence but introducing 1 date a day into my diet and my constipation is finally gone.  No more laxatives and stool softeners.  Phew!

Today I weighed in at 216.2, we'll see what it says tomorrow on official weigh in day.

September 6th I got to celebrate my little sister's birthday and that as of that morning I had lost 102 pounds from my highest weight. Good day!

This weekend I went looking for a new pair of jeans.  All the pairs I had, even the ones I had kept that were too small, were way too big on me.  I couldn't keep them on.  I tried on several pairs and ended up fitting into most of the size 18's that I tried on.  That was a huge shock.  I broke down in the dressing room a bit.  When I started this I was a size 30/32 petite in pants and now I could get into an 18.  Wow what a feeling.  Yay sleeve!
