Current weight 187
Lost 28 lbs since I started the challenge.. I didn't make my goal weight of 185 before June 21st.. but I feel great that I was close, had a couple stalls but nothing I couldn't get through.. I think a 62lbs lost in less then 5 months is awesome!! :-)

I am not fasting, my surgery was in November. I want to be at or below goal before fasting, I feel I am still healing. to each his own.

I am 16 weeks out and I am not fasting this year, it is summer and I don' t want to risk dehydration. Next summer if God willing, I really want to fast. My family is ok with my decision, my health comes first.
Ramadan Kareem to Everyone fasting or not !

Today marks one year since I had my first appointment with my surgeon. Not knowing what to expect, afraid that I would not get approved, afraid of complications and death, afraid of being stuck in my 215 4'10 frame, and not being able to change.
On July 13th was my first appt, and on November 19th, my life totally changed. I went from 215 to now 146. I need to be 120 for my height. I have not been able to follow up with my surgeon because I lost my health insurance. But, VSG has changed my life. Now, mind you, almost a year out I can eat alot more, and if I want to cheat I can. I workout, use my fitness pal, and hold my self accountable. I am by no means perfect. And I dont ever want to be perfect. But I love my new healthy lifestyle.
As someone who is a diagnosed binge eater, (I have not binged since October), I like to say that my VSg is my tool. A tool that helps shape my life. I am no longer on a diet. I have created a new way of life. Clean eating, working out and fighting the demon of addiction. I am so thankful for that day one year ago. I am so thankful for having been given a second chance. I still fear weight regain. But I am diligent on keeping track of calories and my activity levels and of course my clean eating. Anyway hope everyone is well and good luck on your journey's

Ramadan Mubarak to all!

Good luck with your decision! if you do fast please make sure that you don't spend anytime outdoors or exerting yourself during the day! I think that could really land you in trouble.
Ramadan Kareem!

Congrats on your success!

Thanks for posting the pics! You look great!
