(i'm on the high end of normal - but normal nonetheless!!!!). I'm so excited. From tight size 22/24 to loose size 8 and size 6 - with medium and small shirts!!!! YEAH!!!!!!!!! BEST OF LUCK TO US ALL ON OUR JOURNEYS!!!!!!

That is so inspiring! Very happy for you

Did you stay around 1200 calories?

actually my surgeon put me on 800-900 per day! I stuck/stick to that about 90% of time - but do have cheat days - if i'm going to maintain my whole life the reality is there will be some cheat days LOL

That is fricking amazing! I know you worked so hard for it and it inspires me to buckle down. Thank you for sharing!

Woohoo
