??7.5lbs, 100.5lbs down :-D
I started the summer about 10 pounds heavier than I currently am and up until then was losing about 10 pounds a month. So when my weight loss slowed down I figured that I must be just about done. While I always had a number in my head my surgeon and family doctor both were reluctant to assign a goal weight for me. They both have told me to not obsess over the numbers just focus on eating right and my body will take care of itself.
I was on vacation the week before Labor Day and weighed in at 1?2.5 an hubby in a panicked voice said, "okay you are done!" Two days later I got on the scale and I'd lost 4 lbs!
Woo-Hoo! 1.5lbs below my goal!
Then I hopped on the scale 2 days ago and have lost another 1 pound which makes my weight loss total 100.5 pounds!
It feels so unreal. A year ago I was nervously awaiting my insurance companies approval for the surgery and in 12 short months here I am wearing a size 6 and having lost over 100 pounds.
What's scary to me is that after all of these years of struggle it really has felt way too easy. I worry that I won't be able to keep it off and now I'm beginning to understand what people mean when they say that maintenance is much harder than the losing part.
Anyway, yea!
Thanks for sharing this with me...
