9 pounds to goal. This has been a very challenging journey but I'm glad I had all of you for support. Thank you December sleevers for being there for me through my struggles. 94 pounds lost total all post op.

Im 209 now... Everyone thinks im slim and shouldnt lose any more. Im only 5'9" so "normal bmi" is 168... Ill look gross at that weight. I personally dont think i should drop below 175-180 which is technically overweight.

Hi all,
I just had to share a funny NSV this morning.
I'm sitting in my desk chair at work and realize my feet are dangling like a little kid and I'm not siting all the way back in my chair....I had to go find the lever to change the depth of the seat since I didn't need all that extra room for my butt anymore !!!!
That was a fun one!
Take care,
Kristin
(Down 92 pounds from pre lap band weight in 2006 and 69 pounds from sleeve revision. In December.)

I'm 10lbs to my personal goal. It seems I only lose on days I eat like crap...lol. I'm currently in a size 8 down from a size 28 and currently in size small tops, down from xxl. I'm leaving for Amsterdam in 10 days and I'm so excited to be able to fit comfortably in the airplane seats. I'm finally living my life in stead of watching it pass me by.

You're adorable! Cute dress, can I ask where you got it?

-100lbs

I am so excited!! I have finally made it to onederland!!! I didn't think I was ever going to get out of the 200's and I finally did it this morning!! Whoo Hoo!!! I know I still have a ways to go, but boy am I excited!! What a great feeling!! I also started back to school this week, I was accepted into Texas A&M University - Commerce for my MBA program another one of my goals!! Big week for Jen!!! Yeah!!

I had my 6 month follow up appointment on Friday. I'm down 96% of my excess weight. I'm 4lbs from my doctors goal and 24lbs from my personal goal. I still have to do my blood work but they suspect that everything is fine expect my Iron levels. After increasing my dosage the last 3 months my doctor is thinking I'll need iron injections. We'll see when my labs come back. Otherwise my doctor called my surgery a complete success. I couldn't be happier! Starting Weight: 265lbs Surgery Weight: 243lbs Current Weight: 174lbs

I feel like the last few pounds are going to be a chore I feel like giving up! But give up to what? Its not like I have much of a stomach to talk about and its not like I can really cheat to my own satisfaction. The cheat is limited as would be the satisfaction. I know stalls make us feel this way but I also feel like the scale just wont move anymore... I am annoyed with my own feelings right now.. I wish I would just reach goal.. I guess because the first 6 months were so simple to have it all stop/slow down now is discouraging.. I guess a part of me knew this day would come but Ugggg why not just let me finish then maintain the loss? I WONT GIVE UP!!!! I know it will come off even if it takes the rest of the year to do it!!! I WONT GIVE UP!
