Halfway there!!!

This weekend I reached a very important milestone in my weight loss journey. I am now at my halfway point for total weight loss. I have lost 70lbs!! In case you all forgot what I looked like at 366lbs let me remind you

I know that I still have a LONG way to go, but for now I am content. I am right at 11 months post-op, and I think being at my halfway mark at the (close to) one year mark is definitely not anything to scoff at!

No longer a member of the 300 club!

I AM OFFICIALLY UNDER 300 lbs!

What an amazing thing to be able to admit. I currently weigh in at 299lbs BUT that is NOT 300. I am about 2 months in from my last fill and have right at another month to go before my next one. The restriction isnt too horrible---Im not puking so much these days (yay!) and I am able to eat a bit more of a variety again. I still tend to avoid things like bread, heavy pasta, french fries etc (all those wonderful things that are horrible for you) but I can take a taste now and again and be okay.

I've still got a long way to go before I reach my goal---about 75 more lbs BUT Im getting there!
