PCP checkup, 5 months

[Guest guest]

Hi Everybody,

I've waited as long as I can to spread my wonderful news! I wanted to fill out

my form for Dr. R before sharing! I went to the doctor for my 5 month weigh

in this morning. I am one of the slower losers but today I am probably the

happiest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I stepped on the scales and weighed................... are you ready for

this........................ 295 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yippppppppppeeeeeeeeee, Wowsssiiiiiiiiieeeeeee, wow, wow!!! Finally after 8

years of yo-yo dieting I am below 300 pounds! I'm still in shock!

I have lost 9 3/4 inches from my waist alone, for a total of 38 3/4 inches all

over.

I had to refrain from jumping on the roof to shout it to all of

Lumberton!!!!!!!!!!!!! ***grin****

For all of you who have encouraged me when I was in the dumps about the slow

weight loss, thank you from the bottom of my now happier heart!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If I never lose another pound I will feel like the surgery was worth it! I love

the control I have over my eating, and I love all the new friends I have made.

And I love being able to do normal stuff with out being tired and winded! Thank

you so much Dr. Rutledge! I know you hear it all the time, but I truly,

honestly mean you have given me a new life. Now the decisions are mine as to

what I do with the gift you gave me!

OK enough with the mushy stuff I'm setting my next goal, to weigh under 226.

The least I have weighed in my adult life was 226 and I had been to WW to lose

that! If I ever make 226 I'm sure I will get on my roof and yell it

out!!!!!!!!!!! LOL

OK, I'll go and quit gloating over my new numbers, but let me say it one more

time, I only weigh 295! ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
