Feels great to see my old friend the number 1
So recently I changed my goal to see if I could lose 100 pounds or at least see a number with a 1 in it before my birthday on July 18th. Well I woke up this morning and stepped on the scale and what do I see 198.4 YAHOO.
Feels great in 5 months and 1 week since surgery and I am down 98.7 pounds, gone from size 24-22 to a 12-14, feeling amazing physically, still have some pain but that's expected with age and crohn's issues.
I was asked recently how much more do I want to lose and my comment was I am just taking it week by week if I lose that's good and if I don't lose another pound that's okay because I am happy with losing what I have so far as I can do more then I could this time last year when I was just sitting on my couch in pain.

Fantastic news! This is the day before my surgery and I was thrilled to see the number 2 on my scale today but I'll be even more thrilled to see 1 again. Best of luck for continued success.
