I'm 3.5 lbs from my surgeon's goal and my BMI is 24.8!!!! Finally a healthy BMI!!! Even more exciting, I'm wearing a size 8 jeans for the first time since my teens. Not too bad for fifty-one! I love my sleeve! I just wanted to share accomplishment this with all my fellow sleevers!

Wonderful news! Congrats! I can't wait to have a healthy BMI

AWESOME ... GREAT JOB!

Great news, congratulations!! I'm expecting to get to a BMI of 29 any day now, so I'll be overweight and not obese anymore!

Thanks y'all....** Chilo1 - I remember when I went from 30 to 29, was very exciting!!! Good luck!!! **

Congratulations!! Wow, I am so happy for you and so happy that I got the sleeve too -- I see so many of you "long-termers" with such great success it makes me feel so good with the choice I made. Thank you so much for being such a great inspiration to all of us!

Way to go!!!! Wow size 8 that's so amazing!!

That is fantastic!!! Congrats on being so successful with your journey. Thanks for sharing this with us, its such an inspiration. Especially for me who is just dreaming of getting out of the 40's!!!!

Well done!! This is great news.... I've been slacking a bit as we've been away for most of the last couple of months so my eating has been erratic.. but I hope to be catching you up very soon!!

You can do it lady!! You are within earshot of your goal.

That is awesome! Congratulations.

YAY YAY Chickee, I never doubted for a moment that you wouldn't make it ! ! !

My sleeve sister!! I was wondering where you've been!! I knew y'all had been traveling a little. I cannot believe I'm almost there. Actually, as of this morning, I'm only 1.5 lbs from my surgeon's goal. I guess that is what I should change my 'goal' to and then go from there, anything after that is icing on the cake....MY real goal was to wear a size 8 and I'm doing that!! Such vanity!! LOL You'll catch up very soon, but it's a way of life, not a race to the finish line! Enjoy the journey!! Keep me posted!!

Great job and looking great.

We took some time out and went up to France for a couple of weeks....and then had family over for a few days, but now have an empty house again ( and a mountain of washing!!).

I'm not up to date with the posts yet so suspect you may have hit your target by now.... but you're doing great!! My sister in law was amazed at my weight loss....and although I think I may be able to lose a little quicker, I'm happy taking the scenic route - gives me a chance to try and let my body catch up with me!!

And as for your size 8?? - amazing!! Well done!!!
