Joined the challenge! Thanks @@mykdzmom for the info.

Thank you for hosting, this will be my first challenge! Excited! SW 192 GW 182

Happy, Healthy, & Prosperous New Year to everyone! May we conquer all our goals in 2016!

I'm always hot and living in Florida doesn't help!

@@tcrehm I have just now started to notice some hair loss and started taking Biotin 5000mcg a day. Its only been a week, so I have not yet noticed any drastic change.

Not much news on this end. I'm down 50lbs. from HW. Can't wait to lose another 50! People are just starting to notice the difference. Like Des, I have so much more energy, and I feel I can keep in going and going, like the energizer bunny!

Wow! All the stories of your journeys are amazing and inspiring! I too am down 50lbs since I started my journey, with at least 50lbs more to go. We will make it through this holiday season with flying colors! 2016 watch out we are coming in strong!!

How is everyone doing? Let's have some updates!

Here's hoping you feel better soon!

It gets a little easier, hang in there!

The journey only begins, but now we have the tools necessary for success!

Excellent & Welcome to the other side Des! :*

Waiting anxiously to hear how everything went with your surgery and wishing you a speedy recovery. Keep us posted as soon as you feel a lil better!

Thinking of you today, best of luck! <3

☆☆☆Woohoo!!!!☆☆☆ Wtg Des!

Wow! We all have soooo much positive feedback.... life is good!

September Sleevers please post updates on how you are doing! I'm about 2 mths post-op HW 243, SW 221, CW 200. I feel great, I've had no complications after surgery. I watch what I eat, but I'm satisfied. I'm no longer on cholesterol medications and I was taken off 2 of my blood pressure meds and I'm no longer at the threshold for diabeties. This surgery was the best decision I've ever made! I'm very happy with the results and its only going to get better!

Des I'm so happy you decided to move forward with your surgery, you'll have no regrets! You will soon see it was the best decision you have ever made.

Des don't doubt your decisions for this surgery. This is your tool not to go back where you once were. This will help you keep it off! You have come too far and have worked so hard, and still have a long way to go, to stop now! It will get harder and I don't want you to get discouraged. November 19th is just around the corner, hang in there! Your friend, Gigi
