The stall is over..

Mar 06, 2011

Finally, as of last weekend my 5 week stall has ended (knock on wood).  I wasn't too terribly frustrated, because I have been losing consistently along the way.  My only 'real stall' was at 3 wks postop I stalled for two weeks, which is completely normal compared to everyone else.  Then at 9 mths postop I stalled..and just started back losing. I am so happy already, I cannot imagine what it will feel like to continue losing even more.  I started this journey at 354 lbs and a size 4x in tops, 32 in jeans.  Today I weigh 223 lbs and wear a size Large in tops and a size 16 in jeans.  Some of my tops are XL still, but others are Large. 

I had been hoping to lose alot this winter to surprise my parents when they return on May 1st from spending the winter in Florida.  I was 254 lbs when they last seen me on October 1st, and wearing a size 20 jeans.  So I'm hoping I look a bit smaller to them.  I haven't been doing as much exercise over the winter months, so I'm hoping to really kick it into gear once this darn snow melts off the sidewalks and I can get outside to walk.  My goal was to be at 200 lbs by my one year anniversary from surgery..which is April 16th.  I won't be making that, but I am still overjoyed with my loss so far.  I never expected to lose 131 lbs in only 10 mths..amazing!

Oh..and that Large shirt I am wearing..it's my husbands!! lol  I love that I can fit into his shirts now, never have been able to do that.  My husband weighs 214 lbs..so I don't have far to go to weigh less than him...can't wait!!
