Comparison: After losing 70 pounds!

Me at 240 in April 2010 and me at 170 in October 2010!!!!

Weigh-in Wednesday!

As of today, I'm down to 170 -- a total loss of 70 pounds since April 2010!

Update on my gallbladder issue:

I've had several gallbladder attacks since September. I had an ultrasound which shows small gallstones. My liver enzymes were elevated right after a gallbladder attack, but the next week, they came back down to normal. Since then, I've switched to a vegetarian diet consisting of mostly raw fruits and vegetables with a cooked meal at night. I bought a juicer and have been drinking a concoction of apple, pear, carrot, lemon, beet and ginger juice which is supposed to help with gallbladder and liver issues. I feel amazing! I haven't had an attack since October 9th. I do have a surgery consult on November 8th, and the verdict is still out as to whether or not I will have surgery.

Thirty more pounds until I reach my goal weight of 140!!!!
