I'm 5 months out. Stepped on the scale this morning and its official...I have entered "one-der-land" with a mighty step--197 lbs and that makes my total weight loss so far to be 250 pounds from my highest weight.

I'm glad I got up early to get ready for work today because I was an emotional mess when I saw the 197 on the scale and had to pull myself together. I haven't had a weight starting with a "one" in over 30 years.

I am currently 5 months post surgery (will celebrate my 6th month at the end of this month). I have stuck to "the plan" 100% of the time both pre-surgery and post surgery. I am truly thankful and feel blessed to have been given this opportunity.
