5 month post op stats

Ok, so I'm about a month late getting them on here. Sorry about that. Better late then never though, right?? I had made a goal a while back that I wanted to hit 100 lbs lost by my 5 month anniversary. That meant I needed to lose 20 lbs that month. Now, I had seriously slowed down in my weight loss the 2 months before that, so I had pretty much given up on it happening. Well, a week before my 5 month mark, i realized i was 10 pounds away from my goal. Keep in mind this means I'd lost 10 lbs in three weeks. Well, I decided I was going to try to reach my goal still. So I would need to do in ONE week, what I'd done in THREE weeks. I talked to my trainer and told him about my goal and that I really wanted to try to hit it. I worked my self to death that day, and then went in on my own the next day and did all cardio. Well in my quest to get 10 lbs in a week, I decided I was going to try the elliptical. I have never had any success on the thing, for some reason I just can't do it. I usually only did one cardio machine, for a half hour. That day I did the tread climber, the bike, the treadmill.... and the elliptical.... for 20 minutes each. It was awesome! Until the next day... I couldn't do anything with my right leg. Turns out I'd pulled a muscle doing the elliptical. I ended up not getting to have a real work out the rest of that week, because I was hurt. They wouldn't even let me go to the gym on Saturday. Well, Friday I weighed... and I was at 98 pounds lost. And Saturday was 5 months out, I just knew I could get it then. So I weighed Saturday morning, because I always weigh in the morning. I had GAINED two pounds. I was devastated. I was in a bad place all day. Very upset and frustrated. So I decided that I would give myself Saturday, since it would still technically be a part of that month, and weigh on Sunday morning to get my official 5 month weigh in. The results were.... well.... priceless... I started my journey weighing 355 at the surgeons office. On Sunday, I weighed 254.4. I had done it. I lost not only 20 lbs in a month, which is amazing that far post op, but I had lost 100 lbs total!!! So if that wasn't enough.... I did my measurements for the anniversary too, and I had lost a total of 113.25 inches. I hit the 100 pounds, and the 100 inches mark on the same day!! It was an absolutely amazing day. Completely made up for Saturday. Gotta try to keep that attitude positive, it always works out in the end!!
