So as of this week, I weigh 258. Which is pretty awesome to me. From starting at 341, I have come a long way. It's coming off really slowly but at least it is coming off. Yay!

WOW!! That is great! I keep telling my gf that all of these wonderful ladies are losing so much weight so quickly, and the ones that are on regular foods and maintenance, have kept their weight off!

It's VERY encouraging for people like me, that have not had my surgery yet. I'm excited to get started.
