GOAL!

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?

Minime CONGRATS!!!!! You are I have very similar stats and you make me realize that I TOO can get to goal. My doctor knows I can and so do I. I just am beginning to realize it though. I know when I hit 135 which is my goal too I believe I will be in disbelief too!

SO excited, happy and thankful that you shared your journey with everyone here!

Miniiiiiiiiiiiiiii, you did it!!! YAY, I am so proud of you. You have worked so hard for this, and I am so proud of you. (((hugs)))

That's soooo awesome. Could you perhaps give us a summary. Beginning weight/ size & height vs now. Also the biggest changes. I dunno. Give these of us just beginning some hope. I still can't imagine ever getting within normal range.
