Yes, I’ve finally broken through that mythical 110 pound window that’s been holding me back for two and a half years. This week, the scale started revealing strange numbers. I’d been hanging out in the 178-182 range for, well, months basically. And then on Sunday I saw 177. Then on Monday, it was 176. And on Tuesday, I saw a number I’d never seen since surgery: 175. I really couldn’t believe it. Especially since I hadn’t been doing anything particularly willful to lose weight. Sure, I’d been eating a little less; I wasn’t all that hungry these days. On Wednesday, I was a little nervous to get on the scale. Surely that 175 was a mistake, right? But, no. 174. And on Thursday, I saw 173. That puts me officially 112 pounds down from my highest recorded pre-op weight of 285, and at a BMI of 23.5.
