I know I haven't been around as much lately, been really busy with work and all, but I just had to tell someone! I weighed myself again today (I only weigh myself like once a week or more) and I've lost 80 lbs!!!!

This is so amazing to me. I had surgery 4 months ago and was one of those who felt, this is not gonna happen. I will be the one it won't work on.
I actually took in a bunch of my shirts to a "tailor" (can't think right now), and got them all taken in. I feel so wonderful! I'm wearing shorts again (haven't in public for at least 10 years). I know I still have a ways to go and I really need to get with a routine I can keep with. I know I'm definitely not exercising enough. But I'll do it, I'll find something. I never want to go back to the way it was.
Sorry.....rambling.....but my friend wasn't at work today and I was too busy to talk to anyone else. Had to tell someone. Thanks for all the encouragement from the people here, I don't know what I'd do without it.
