Healthy as a Horse (but much smaller than one!)!

I had my 3 month check-up yesterday and I am doing superb!! While they were going over all of the pounds and inches I had lost, I was shocked...and so were they! Lots of inches gone and LOTS of pounds gone! My weight loss has far exceeded their expectations for three months out (they thought maybe around 40 or so). I am now at 77.5! GONE! FOREVER!! The best part is that all of my labs looked perfect. While I can barely eat more than I can fit in one hand, my levels of EVERYTHING have improved remarkably and are exactly where they should be! I feel much better after yesterdays appt.!! :)

BEFORE!

This is so embarassing!! This pic was just taken this past Christmas (about 4 months ago)!! Wowsers...

AFTER!!

This is not the most flattering outfit (it's just what I wore to work today!), but Austin took some shots of my at -75 pounds!

3 Months Out and 75lbs Gone FOREVER!!!

The day finally came! I got on the scale this morning and had lost EXACTLY 75 pounds!! My 3 month "surgiversary" is technically Wednesday, but I am happy to report two days early!! I cannot believe it. I carry my dog's 40lb bag of dog food and it feels SO heavy...and to think I almost carried TWO of those bags (well, the equivalant of) on my body every day!

For those who have seen me lately, you have most certainly see the "old" Katie fast returning! I am so much happier, so much healthier, and so thankful for the support I continue to get on a daily basis!! Like I have said before, this has BY FAR been the hardest thing I have ever gone through, but I would do it all again in a heartbeat. I am lovin my sleeve so much these days, and now feel bad for hating it so much while I was sick!!

As I promised, there are pictures to come!! I even found an old "before" pic that was taken at Christmas. It blew my mind to see it! I'm also going to scan my driver's liscense pic on here, as it also looks really different!!

Today is a great day...:)

Almost at the 75lb mark!

I lost another 4 pounds while in Gulf Shores (which baffles me completely due to the fact that I ate whatever I wanted AND drank way too many adult beverages at times!). That loss puts me at a loss of 71.4 pounds total so far. Like I said, I will be adding pics when I reach the 75 pound mark, although many of you have seen me and/or my other blog with the Spring Break pics, so it won't be a huge shocker.

I am really lovin my SLEEVE!! :) :) :)
