290

Yep, that is my current weight. I weighed in at 290 on my scale yesterday and today. My mouth dropped. Almost everyday its a new experience at a lesser weight. I can't remember the last time I weighed 290. I do remember going to Las Vegas in July of 2004 and i was 283. When I lose 7 more pounds, I will be at the same weight I was in July of 2004.

I am very, very, very close to fitting into a 2X shirt. It is still a little snug on me. I think that when i get down to 280 i will fit perfectly into a 2X shirt. This would be music to my ears because I have a TON of 2X shirts.

My energy level is incredible. I am walking faster, longer and keeping up with people i normally wouldn't have been able to before surgery. I just want to go out and do things. I know that if I keep moving and drink plenty of water and stay on the strict eating habits the weight will keep coming off. The surgeon said that my ultimate goal weight is 190, so I am 100 pounds away from that goal. This doesn't mean that I won't go below 190, realistically 190 is my goal. I would just be happy being below 200 pounds because I can't even remember the last time i was below 200. I think maybe in middle school?????????????

I will update on thursday, that is my next doctors appointment. I also have the support group meeting on the wednesday. This friday is also my 8 week post op. On top of that, next wednesday the 19th is my 2 month anniversary!!!!
