I did it! I hit goal over the weekend. In fact, I'm a little under it.

I just kept staring at the scale. It hasn't moved much at all the past 3 or 4 weeks, so I was in shock. I didn't break down in tears, I didn't do a happy dance ... I just kept getting off & getting back on.

I finally realized that I was standing in the bathroom totally naked getting on an off the scale so I decided to come out. I just looked at my husband and said, "I did it. I'm under 135 pounds. I haven't weighed this since I was 17". He did his best to congratulate me, but he really didn't get it - HOW COULD HE? I still don't get it.

But, I MADE IT! I hit the goal that my nutritionist and pyschologist said I would not be able to achieve. I knew I could and my surgeon had faith in me as well.

Now that I'm here, I'm still considering going a little further. Somewhere between 125 and 130. Not exactly sure yet, but it feels like I can lose a little more. I'm still in a healthy BMI range if I go down, so here I go. Keep me accountable! OK?

OMG Mini Me..... How amazing. I know you worked hard. Congradulations!!!!!!

Hey Minime... you certainly are a mini you now....CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!

That is awesome Mini Me!!! Congrats to you!!!!!! A million smiles to you! Sometimes its good to go a little below goal so that way you can have some wiggle room. Once you notice your going up again, you can catch it and go back down.

Mini-Me, I have followed you from the time you had your surgery, back when I was still waiting for mine! You have been so inspirational, and I am so happy for you as you reach this fantastic milestone!! Congratulations and enjoy that beautiful number on the scale and that beautiful woman in the mirror! You deserve every good thing that you have made happen!!!

WOO-HOOOO, Congratulations!!

Congratulations! I remember when you first got sleeved and you were doubting yourself. I knew you could do it.

If you want to lose a little more, I wish you the best!

Thanks Oregon ... I appreciate that you had faith in me when I was doubting myself. I hope I can be an inspiration to others like you have been to me.

I can't keep from smiling today!!!!

Amazing! I love hearing these stories, as I sometimes question if I am making the right choice to have the sleeve. Congrats!

Becca - I totally understand those second thoughts. I was so sure I would be the one who failed (after all, every other diet failed me) ... but I am the same weight as 17 (a looooooooooooong time ago) wearing 6 and 8's. While it has been work, it's been easier to do than any other diet I've tried. I am very confident that maintenance will be fairly straightforward. I am so grateful to have had this surgery and starting my life again. My husband is thrilled with my new body (not that he complained about my old one) ... I feel like a 17 year old again. (Well, with a few more wrinkles and not quite the energy level.)
