I am SO close!!!

 Well this morning I got on the scale and was 227.4.  That puts at -60lbs in my journey.  I am 7.4lbs away from my weight before my hip surgeries.  To me, this was my pivotal weight.  I would go up and down but never above 220.  And I look at my hip surgeries as the "thing" that screwed up my life.  It didn't really screw it up but it set me back a lot.  I gained 74lbs, had to completely change my job and was just not happy.  And physically I am a lot worse for wear now than I was then.  

Anyway, I think it'****ting me how much this "number" is meaning to me.  Yes I have my end goal in sight and I'm focusing on it.  But 220 was what I was before I was unhappy.  I am so completely stoked to be almost to that weight again.  And then I'll only be 45lbs from my all time adult low.  It's all very surreal for me.  

My surgeon thinks I should hit goal by 10 months post op.  I have a hard time wrapping my head around that but I'm still working my @ss off to get there!  I can't imagine a life at 115lbs.  I haven't weighed that since I was 10!  

Just had to share how happy I am today!

looks like you are doing great!!   I had the same surgeon as you..Dr. Foote. 

Wow--you are really going for a low goal weight--good for you! I am doing the same thing, trying to go from 290 down to 120. We will see, we will see. I am 4 months, 3 weeks out and have lost 70. I am 220 and cannot wait to hit onederland. I can taste it, I want it so bad. I so wanted it before my 6 month appointment, now do not know if I am going to make it--doubtful, actually. There somehow seems to be a black hole on here. It seems like we hear from people when they have lost 40, 50, 70 pounds and are like 3-6 months out. Then nothing. We do not hear from them again until they are 1 year out and have lost 100, 120, 150 pounds. I feel like I am falling into that black hole and that I will never be one of those people than can claim 150 pounds at one year. I know I am just too impatient and I stall frequently too. Wow--what a mind game this is! The important thing is feeling good again. And that is not something that can be measured on the stinkin scale! LOL
