Onederland!!

The day finally happened.. I made it to Onederland!! I weighed in this morning at 199, and I couldn't believe it! I had to weigh myself 5 or 6 times to make sure the number was real! I am so happy and excited. Officially down 64 lbs from my surgery on March 12, and most importantly hit the first milestone I had for myself which was to be under 200. I don't think I was even under 200 in high school! I still kind of can't believe it. I knew it would happen but it seemed so far away and then today it happened! My goal for the end of this month is to weigh 192, so only 7 lbs to go! That seems completely doable. For the past 3 or 4 days I've been losing about a pound everyday, so I hope it keeps going this fast! For a few weeks prior I was barely losing 2 or 3 lbs a week, and all of a sudden things are picking up speed again. I feel SO close to my goal now. I think around 160-170 lbs I will feel normal at least, and I'm still deciding on what my "final" goal will be. I originally thought 120, because I figured in 10-20 lbs of regain to settle and maintain a weight of 130- 140. My family and doctor think anywhere between 140-160 is what I should settle for, but I know that regain happens, and I don't want to weigh more than that, so I'm not really sure what I want my goal weight to be. I personally can't imagine myself at 120. I'm almost 5'6", and I've seen some pictures of people at my height and that weight and they seem very, very thin, but also very in shape. It makes me wonder if I can even get that small, because I feel like my gut while it is shrinking will never fully go away! We'll see what happens. I'm just going to keep working out everyday and eating right and see where it takes me. On another note, I cut about 5 inches of my beloved beautiful long hair off this Saturday! It is falling out really badly, so while the thinness isn't really noticeable, it's more of a nuisance to find long strands of hair everywhere. My hair stylist kept commenting on how different and weird my hair felt, because it had thinned so significantly..my hair used to be super thick. It has also significantly lightened, even though I don't spend THAT much time in the sun..so I don't know why! My new do is super cute, and I even got side-swept bangs. I posted a picture online and got so many compliments and for some reason it was evident to people that I had lost a bunch of weight in those photos but up until then no one has said anything! Kind of funny! I think the next 50 lbs I lose are really going to be noticeable, moreso than the weight I already lost. Currently I'm in size 16 bottoms and OUT OF WOMEN'S PLUS (can I get a yahoo!!) and in a regular women's XL or L in some brands. Awesome! :)
