    Default Halfway!

    I officially hit my halfway point in wt loss since my first visit to embark upon this journey. Since August 12th I am down 53lbs (22 since surgery on December 12th). I would encourage anyone pre op to really focus on changing habits in this phase. It will help prepare you post surgically and every pound you lose before surgery is a pound you don't have to worry about post op. None of it is easy but oh so worth it. Honestly, this is the smallest I have been in 6 years, and I can't even begin to describe how thrilled I am already. I know I have a long road ahead of me but know I can make it! I guess it was good I hung onto all of my old clothes I outgrew. Now off to the consignment shop to purge my closet of those clothes I will NEVER wear again.

    Slow and steady wins the race!

    We have the same surgery date! And are down about the same...I'm down 21 since surgery. It is a lifestyle and I love this tool we now have to make the change. I love reading how people are exercising and moving!! I'm heading downstairs now to get in my workout. Congrats on the new clothes size!!
