Well, I haven't been around in awhile! The school semester has been hitting me kind of hard, and I've been super busy with school work. Tuesday will mark 10 weeks since surgery. Today marks 68 days since surgery.

My highest weight was 484 at the beginning of the year, when I started my 6 week program leading to my surgery on August 14th, 2012. Actually I think it started in February. Who knows? *shrug* Anyway, I am currently 389 pounds according to the scale at my doctors office. ...

Well today was AMAZING! I had a follow up appointment today with my Primary Doctor, and it was my first time being weighed since August 8th (which was 2 days on my 8 day liquid diet). I wasn't able to get weighed the day of surgery, and haven't done it myself at home!

SO *DRUMROLL*
Since August 8, 2012....I've lost 45 pounds!! I am down a total of 62 pounds since January when I started my weight loss journey. It has not yet been a month, and a 45 pound weight loss is CRAZY! ...
