Merry Christmas!  As of today, almost 6 months since pre-op diet began, I have lost 83 lb.  I am happy with that loss.  I have 4 important goals that I would like to achieve, especially within the next year (or less):

• when I lose just over 2 more lb, and I will be under 200 lb.
• 5.2 lb loss would mean I lost 70% of what my doctor and  I want me to lose
• 11 lb loss would change my classification from "obese" to "overweight"
• 17 lb loss would put me at 100 lb lost

So... I have a lot to look forward to!  This is the weird part of the post.  This week I bought new underwear.  My underwear before was size 12 or 13.  Some of my smaller underwear still fit, but some were just completely unwearable.  So anyway, what I bought ended up being a size 9.  I know this is not the typical thing that people share about themselves, but for me it was pretty exciting!  :-)
