Thanks Sarah, you'll be there so quick you wont even know, if someone told me in 7 months I'd be there I'd never believe them, but its true :D

Amazing! Congratulations!!! I can't imagine getting to goal so quickly...great job...perfect healthy BMI...awesome!

Fantastic...job well done and I love the photos.... especially the one with two legs in the one leg of shorts....heheheeeee...

What a great feeling it must be for you!

What is the best bit about being at goal??

I love to see those "person fits into one pant leg" photos! Congrats and thanks for posting!laugh.gif

What an inspiration I have to say Congratulations on getting to goal! I hope you keep us updated on your journey now that you are at goal.

Thanks guys :D There are times when I thought I never would get there, been hard work, but all worth it, I still look in the mirror and see myself as I was before, only in photos do I see what I look like now, thats abit strange I guess seeing yourself for so long as I was has warped my vision somewhat. Thats why I did the one leg pic, also that and my nephews thought it would be hilarious cos its like "the biggest loser" :)

@coops Im not sure what is the best thing, as there are so many, I actually can enjoy food now without over doing it, I dont feel like I am a slave to it, i eat to live not live to eat, I like going into stores and buying the same size as most other people, not being as shy when meeting new people, sitting where I want without fear that I wont fit or the chair may not be sturdy enough, also just having more energy to do things are the best things about getting to my goal.

I love this board, great to see everyone from pre sleeve to goal weights and beyond, just reading what people say, their obstacles makes you feel not alone, nor are you going crazy, im def stick around :D If I can do it, anyone can and I cant wait to be there at the finish line for all of you! xoxo

CONGRATS!!!

I just joined this site..... i am having my sleeve surgery on December 7th - and I am a mixed bag of excited and scared etc etc...

Looking forward to putting up AFTER pics too! :)

Im in nyc - anyone else out there starting around when I am?

Wow those are some great results. You have every reason to be so proud. Thank you for sharing with us, it is so inspiring for me personally to see these posts from "real" people.
