Hi all,
I First want to thank everyone for the support,knowledge,and encouragement that has been given. I decided a good time to do some measuring was on new years eve while my mom was around to re measure where she first did before my surgery!! I have lost 131 inches !!! 118 pounds and 6 pounds over the last week!! I'm so excited!! For any newbies who may be reading this I hope it gives you some encouragement.. I know when I first started I liked reading things like this.. But never really thought it would be me saying it! And never again will I wonder about a stall.. It happens and then goes away just like all the vets said!! Thanks again you are the best!

I need huge doses of wows right now - my surgery is in a week and I'm nervous (and happy and then nervous and then happy).
Please keep them coming!
Congratulations and thank you!!

I love me some measurements.
I took 'em every 3 months the first year & now yearly on my anniversary. Same with pictures.
They really tell a story you can look back on & also let you feel good no matter how fast/slow you're losing that first couple of years.
Well done.
