I sent my brother some before/after pics of me since we haven't seen each other since before my surgery (which is a whole 'nother post about my sadness on that). But yeah, he was pretty shocked, LOL!
As I looked at those comparison photos, it is a very weird feeling...I don't recognize that person. In either photo! It makes me try to sink into my skin and really FEEL what it feels like to be this...THIN. (And woah, never thought I'd EVER use that word in regards to myself! ...

ARG!!! I just had a HUGE entry all typed in and my stinking computer burped and lost it all 
Anyway, I'll try to recreate some of my thoughts. Sigh.
First of all I was saying that I am sad that I haven't posted on this journal more recently. I think I will try harder to do so now, partially because I'm not sure that what I find interesting and what the new Forum majority find interesting are the same thing anymore. There are new people (which is great!) but...

For the last few weeks, I've not spent much time here at Thinner Times. This makes me sad because I don't want to stop coming here. It is currently my only source of support groups and I've said from the beginning that I don't want to be one of those people who stops using their support group and then gains weight back. I have to admit, though, that when I do make a point to go to check in on the Forum that it just doesn't hold my attention lately. I have to find some way to re-commit myself...

Wow, here I am at a weight of 178, clothing sizes medium-large and 10-14.
It is so weird to be here, especially so "soon". Surgery really wasn't that long ago, honestly, just 9 months. In many ways, I'm still a "newbie" compared to many. I have lost a total of 160 pounds from my highest recorded weight,and 125 since surgery. I look in the mirror and sometimes I feel amazing. Sometimes the saggy skin and stretch marks depress me -- I don't have a boyfriend or life...

Another WOW moment has been happening to me at the gym in the last few weeks. I used to do the elliptical for around 45 minutes at a speed of 120 strides per minute. I decided to ramp it up to 130 spm and that went really well. Then last week I looked down and realized that I was really doing 140 spm without even realizing it and only feeling a bit more effort to do it. Wow! Take 151 pounds off a gal's body and hey, look at the increased mobility. Today I did the entire workout at 138-144...
