Hi all I posted the following under blog but wanted to share it again 
Oh what a happy day
wow! things have changed in six short months. I went to the Dr today for a follow-up. I was a little worried they would say that I hadn't lost enough weight. It turns out I have done better than I was telling myself. Stats I lost 19 inches from my waist, 18 from my hips and 22 from the chest oh and I lost a total of 98.6 lbs by their scale. The emotions in my head are crazy giddy now. It is almost as if the dream of being fit is achievable. The difference in the before and after pictures were crazy and it took someone else pointing it out for me to see the huge difference. Okay so yes I have been stuck at a platue for a while but so what it is time to look at the big picture and recognize just how much difference six months can make. I was told that my health is stellar. The blood work is great other than my protein and b-12 being high. They could tell I worked out instead of asking if I did they asked how much. It is just so hard for me to see the true me starting to show. Guess it is time to let go of the past and start actually looking in the mirror and at pictures and taking note of the change.
I know that all this was typed quickly and maybe isn't that well written but this is just me free writing as it is called just to capture all the things going threw my mind. Heck I even looked younger in the after picture. Did fat really make me look old? The next check-up is in June and they want me to try to lose 30 lbs. I want more like 40 so we shall see how this goes. It was cool to compare work-out notes with the nurses instead of giving them a list of aches and pains. So here is to the next six months and the future. I live by the words you will never know if you have reached your goal if you don't set them: so here are the goals
12 months
Weigh in once per week no more no less
Workout 6 days per week
run a 5k
24 months
get into shape and go to New York for the run up the Empire state Building (Big dream for someone that has never left the tri-state area)
skin removal surgery so I can workout more without the ouch
