I have made it into the 140's! May not seem like a big deal to some, but it is to me! I have never weighed less than 150 since I was about 9 or 10 years old. So, you can see that it would be pretty exciting!
We had a nice Easter. I actually wore a dress (hose and heels too!) to church and my husband loved it! Wonderful service, moving communion, celebrating the Savior and his great gift to us - Resurrection Sunday! We had a wonderful dinner, just Louie, Josh and me. I cooked a ham, and we had baked sweet potatoes, deviled eggs, green bean casserole and raw veggies. It was perfect! Afterwards, we spent the afternoon just hanging out together, listening and watching Christian music videos. (And yes, I did have a few jelly beans and M'Ms.)
I'm just 11.5 lbs from my goal, so it's pretty exhilarating overall. I asked my surgeon's office how my body will know when to stop losing. They said that it just knows - weird, huh? They did say that sometimes you will lose a little too much, but then you'll rebound a bit and normalize out. As long as your labs are good, you're ok. And my labs were fine so far, so yeah!
Life is good (eternal life is better!)

Wow, you look great! I would never ever guess that you are 50. You look so young...in your before AND after pictures! It looks like you've lost the weight pretty fast, too.
I've been wanting surgery for three years, but it hasn't happened yet. Still praying for a miracle. I haven't given up yet! I've even got my kids praying for it, lol.
Keep up the good work. It sounds like you are really having fun and enjoying life. I will definitely check back to see you get down to your goal weight...I can tell you're going to get there! :-) You are sooo close, and still in the "honeymoon phase". Enjoy!
