Hi all,

Today my scale showed me 255.6lbs that means I have acheived my first goal to reach 256lbs. My doc put me on abilify 2yrs ago which works great for my depression but I gained 31 pounds on it. It took me this long to lose those 31 lbs per my home scale. I am very happy but just don't know how to celebrate. Any ideas?

Whoo hooo. Congratulations!!! You should be extremely proud of yourself. I was on Zoloft and gained a ton of weight also before my lapband surgery. I'm no longer on the Zoloft.

How I celebrate is go out and do something for myself. Maybe get your hair done, your nails, a facial, pedicure, massage. Buy yourself a new outfit.

Congratulations! I vote for a pedicure for your reward. Thanks for sharing- I love reading success stories!:thumbup:

So did I! Im now in the hundreds! ..made it to 199 today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its been slow but steady and Im feeling great ....Im getting motivated with the better weather to start walking!

Congratulations EVERYone reaching their special goal today..and throughout the week!

I vote to celebrate with a spa treatment. They are my favorite way of rewarding myself. I love a massage and a facial. Congrats!

Great job esv2000. 250 is my first goal got a ways to get there but I will. Go out and do something nice for your self you soooooo deserve it.

I second the massage or facial!

When I reach total goal, I'm going for the total treatment!!! Massage, facial, pedicure, manicure..OH YEAH!!!!!:laugh:

Way to go!! Spa treatment is definitely at the top of the list. If your clothes are getting baggy, then a small shopping excursion may be in order. :tongue2:
