Hi everyone,

I just thought I would share some exciting news! I had set a personal goal to no longer be classified as obese before the end of the year. For me, that meant 175 pounds and a BMI of 30. Well, today I hit that goal! And I still have a month until the end of the year! I'm soooo ridiculously happy. I was trying on old clothes yesterday and I was swimming in my old pants...I can't believe how different my body is! I'm still shocked when I look in the mirror some days! I'm not there yet, I still have 30 pounds to go until my goal weight, but it has all happened so quickly that I just have to pinch myself sometimes. Anyways, I was just in a great mood and thought I would share with all of you. Before I joined this site, I just wasn't sure if surgery was for me....boy am I glad I listened to all of you! Thanks for changing my life!!

GREAT SUCCESS!! Lol your doing awesome! Great work so far

Thanks everyone! Yolanda - I guess I just follow the advice that my surgeon gave me - get your protein in first, drink lots of water, and stay active. I've been doing yoga and some abs/core work 2 or 3 times a week, and that really seems to help. But overall, this is so much different than anything that I've done before. I actually feel full now...that's a first for me! Feel free to message me if you have any other specific questions...keep up the good work everyone! This is almost fun! Haha...

Congrats! That has to feel wonderful. I too look forward to the day I can go to the doctor and his dictation for the visit will no longer start with OBESE female!

Congrats!!!! Keep up the good work.!!!
