Even I'm surprised

Well, I didn't really expect much of a difference in weight from yesterday morning until 2:00 this afternoon, but I got a shock today at my doctors office. I weighed 138.5 for another 2.5 lbs. lost since last Friday!! My BMI is now "normal" and I'm no longer "medically obese" WOW and Oh My God!!!!!!!  

When the nurse told me my weight and BMI I got cold-chills and my eyes welled up. It took a little effort to hold it together and not embarrass myself, but she smiled and had to "conveniently" leave the room for a "forgotten file." I was thankful while I got myself together.

My BMI use to be 41.1 at 236 lbs. -  it's now 24.1 at 138.5. I'm amazed to say the least! I'm posting a new pic that my son took today when I got home from the doctor.  I've lost 97.5 pounds and I have 18.5 to go. I'm feeling powerful and strong and greatful and about a million other things as well.

I'm going to go for now, my husband and son want me to watch Casino  Royale with them. But I'll probably be back after midnight. After I've calmed down a bit more and had some time to kinda reflect on my day. I've still got to read everyones blog for today, I haven't been home all that long (again). I'll catch up with y'all tonight. And I wanted to thank everyone who posted comments -  I really appreciate all the comments, and I thank you all for taking time out of your day and reading my blog.

Holy Smokes!

You look amazing!!!! I love the new picture! I just love it! The way you are standing, you are in control is what you are telling the whole world! You are so proud of yourself and I can tell by how happy you are. I know when I take pictures I just let everything inside of me shine through. Something that has been hiding for years. Your post from earlier today brought me to tears. You don't understand how happiness you bring to me. I have been having such a bad day today. I won't go into it but its just one of those days where you are not happy and you can't seem to suck yourself out of it. Well when I was reading your post, it just made me second look it all. It made me think about how hard we have both worked to get this far. Im not going to let myself get in this mood. I turned my upside down frown and I smiled. I think we need a good cry and I feel better. You always inspire me to keep on pushing through, you are an amazing person and Im glad we are friends. Its people like you that make a difference.

I hope you are having a wonderful evening! Enjoy yourself! You here me?! You have worked so hard and you deserve it! Have a wonderful weekend!!!

You go, girl!

If EP had a clapping smiley, I'd use it right now! What you've accomplished is awesome, and you'd better be proud!

Good luck with the last 18!
