Milestone - Under 200 pounds

[Guest guest]

Last year

40 and just under 300 pounds (293 BMI 51)

Recuperating from surgery from a getting hit with a semi truck

Received a denial from insurance company to get the DS.

This year

41 and just under 200 pounds (199 BMI 33) I have 40-60 more pounds to

lose.

Gained 1½ inches, because I don't have all that weight squishing my

cartilage. Or maybe I just hold my head higher.

I sued the crap out of the semi-truck and got a huge settlement,

which I am building an addition to my home (master bedroom, bathroom

suite)

I got a lawyer and fought the crap out of the insurance company to

get this surgery paid for.

Was offered an incredible new job with retirement that can't be beat.

I am healthier and happier than I thought possible.

Wow - I think you are a semi-truck yourself! (although a small one,

lol)

You are un-stoppable, so just keep on going!

Teri,

That is so incredible. Sounds like things are going great for you.

I can't even imagine being under 200 pounds!
