Valentine's Day and 30 week weigh in

Weighed in this morning at 96.2kgs/212lbs/15st2lbs.  I'm pleased with the weight loss and I've broken the 100lbs lost now too, having lost 103.5lbs/46.9 kilos - I think, among us fatties, it's generally known as being a member of  the onederful club.  I have lost 7st 5.5 lbs.  When I got married the first time, in October 1966, I weighed 7st 4lbs, so I've lost the whole of me in my wedding dress! 



That's something to think about, losing a whole person and yet still being a person with weight to lose.  Before the operation I weighed more than three times what I was on my wedding day - my first husband, John, who was like a lath himself, would have been very surprised to have seen me so heavy.  I could no more pick up and carry a person of that weight than I could fly.  Yet somehow I dragged that weight around with me minute after minute, day after day, week after week, year after year.  Thank goodness I don't have to do that anymore.

It will be 7 months post op on Sunday coming - 7 months and 7 stone lost - got to be good.  I know the weight loss is slowing down, but I'm so happy that I've got this far.  I shall go further - I've succeeded.  I am a success!

  1. Wow, simply amazing! Love the photo of you in your wedding dress too. I'm yet to become a member of the onederful club, but I'm working on it. I think I have about a stone to loose before I get there.xxx

  2. Thanks, Sarah! Well done you for losing so much - do let me know when you do the 100! I never thought I'd do it - never really believed it was possible - but it was and it is for you too. x
