  4. I love the warrior in you. Because you have what it takes. You will need to continue to this same work in order to get to your goals. Advocate for your self. My Nut warned me that people will oppose you almost every step of the way. Be warned that later some of those same people will call you skinny. But keep working hard. And even if you are "in bed in pain", you are mentally working and preparing yourself for change. Kudos for you! This is a Journey Good Luck hope you feel better soon

I no longer need 10 different medications I lost low self esteem The need for my skinny neighbor to walk my son to the park because i was short of breath going to the mail box. Well i can walk him now. lol Congratulations to everyone for their 2013 accomplishments wishing 2014 to be even better
  6. Current weight is 173 and goal weight is 163lbs for Valentines Day
  7. I felt like I didn't want a scar on my body. Before the VSG surgery I had only had a keyhole knee surgery. Well now 10 months later, I don't care as much about the next elective planned scar/surgery if it will significantly help me! Because I'm hoping to get a tummy tuck. So I pray for minimum scar no problems but minimum Is expected.
  8. Congrats on your Surgery
  9. I agree! I was in the slow Looser's group here. Because my weight has come off slower compared to the average sleever for the month I had Surgery. But, 95 lbs later I'm happy! The weight will come off. You will reach your destination. Keep working at it. Congrats on your Surgery
  10. Congratulations!

I'm Happy 5. Weight was 267 now 172lbs I would do it over again!
