Pictures!
I posted some pictures! They're on my photos on my profile page because my smart ;) phone won't let me do fun stuff on OH like update my avatar or post pictures to the boards.
Some stuff that's going on currently:
1. I have lost more weight than I ever have before... by almost 40 lbs!
2. I have less than 40 lbs until I'm at my initial goal. Holy smokes!
3. We have health screenings to have certain perks with our benefits each year. Last year at my screening in July, I weighed in at 311 lbs. I have my health screening for this year scheduled for next Wednesday. I am about 6 lbs from meeting my employer's goal for the weight target. It is SO close, but I'm afraid I won't make it and will be super disappointed. My weight here recently has been coming off in large chunks, so it is still possible, but I might just cry if I am so close and miss it!
4. I am now an overweight person. At a BMI of 29.9, I am no longer Obese or Morbidly Obese or Super Morbidly Obese. I am overweight.
5. I went to Old Navy this past weekend, and I got 3 shirts (for under $12 total). I was looking and looking and looking for XL shirts, but they were slim pickings! I got a wild hair to try a large, and OMG, it fit! I am large! I started at a 4X.
This is what winning feels like! Charlie Sheen's got nothing on me!
WOW! you are looking good! Nice job working that sleeve. Congratulations on a job well done. I am so happy for you!
