Having an EXCITING moment!

Just got back from a 4-day trip to Arizona to see a friend and got on the scale this morning and I am 199.5!! I am almost about to cry. At 35 years old, I have not been this weight since just after high school 17 years ago. I thought it was fantastic enough that the last two times I've flown I've had at least 8 inches of extra seatbelt. Traveling so much for work I used to struggle and HOPE that the seatbelt would click. I never want to ask for the extender. I admit that sometimes I hate my sleeve - that I can't eat a full sandwich or whatever my issue may be at the time but this feeling - nothing beats it. My highest weight was 274 and I had my surgery at 268. I would've never thought I could be - 17 weeks after my surgery I could be at 199.5. Much love to all of my friends and supporters here on OH.

XOXO,
Michelle
