Scale Victory

I had to share this with all of you I finally hit 50 pounds lost and am just days away from my 2 months post surgery. Best feeling ever that when my trainer at the gym told me I was so overwhelmed. It was both an emotional and joyful feeling. Also, had to go out and buy new jeans as nothing I have is fitting. Can't believe that I got into a size 34 yoga jean. Can't wait to go shopping in all the little shops around Winnipeg that I could never shop in before.

Below is a link of my pre-surgery and one month photos. The password for access is 123

These are the measurements I was at in the photos. Pre-op and one month.

Upper Chest	42.5	41.75
Chest	43.75	43.25
Arm ___inches	16.5	15.5
Upper Waist 2 inches	39.25	36.25
Waist	40.25	39
Lower Abdomen 2 inches	50.5	40.5
Hips	54	50
Proximal Thigh	36.75	33.5
Mid Thigh ___inches	29	28
Calve	20	19.25

On Monday I will get my 2 month photos done and am so excited. For those who have not had surgery yet, definately take photos and do measurements. When the scale doesn't move you are still losing inches so don't focus on the scale. I have decided to only weigh myself once a month and not be obsessed with the number.

Congrats on the 50 gone...that's really impressive.
Hope to see you at the next M and G...although I probably won't recognize you with all that weight gone!!
Cheers,
