Sometimes incredible things happen

At this moment six months ago I was being admitted to the hospital. I was sleeved and awake and my blood pressure was spiking out of control. No one knew why. We will never know. But, I was sleeved.

At the beginning of this month, I was four pounds away from losing 100 pounds from my all time highest known weight before I joined Weigh****chers for the last time. I knew I could drop that four pounds by my six month anniversary. It was in the bag. And then...a stall. I stall all the time. It's no big deal, I decided to jump start it by upping my water. Nothing. Then I added pilates 2x a week to the mix...still sitting teatering. Monday morning I weighed myself and was at 178 - two pounds away from the milestone. I made peace with it. It's not going to happen. I'll be close. Close is great. 98 pounds is amazing. I'll take it.

This morning I stepped on the scale expecting to see that number again. But, low and behold, it read 176 - 100 pounds less than a number I'd seen so many times before. I did it. Down 100. The last 36 pounds aren't going to be easy. I have to work for them now. That's okay. I know it will happen. This is a journey and getting there is part of the fun.

I love your post!  Very enlightening!!!  Telling the story and seeing all the positives along the way.  Even with some battles and lord knows we have them, this journey is still way more rewarding than it is difficult. 

Congrats on hitting the Century Club!!!!

Aww, great post!! I hope to be as successful as you at 6 months! Keep up the great work

Congrats!

Congratulations on hitting the 100 mark! 

Awesome that 100 seems to be a magical number for us. Good job !

Woohoooo!  Congrats on that hard-fought 100 lbs.  You know what you gotta do 

Awesome - great job hanging in there and not panicking! 

That's amazing! Good job staying the course. You're right about that last 36...you will have to start to really work for them. But...if you put in the work they will drop off too.

Keep it up! :-)

WOW! A post like yours is the main reason that I scroll through the forum! Motivation, inspiration!  My surgery is next week, on the 26th! Along with my nesting frenzy and gathering of post-op supplies, in moments of stillness comes nervousness and even thoughts of "What if there are complications?". I needed that inspiration - thank you!
