8 months Post op -- 122 lbs gone!

Hi all -- been a while since I've updated -- today was a great day for me -- 8 months post op and I've lost 122 lbs. I seriously cannot believe it. I have not been this thin since I was a teenager. seriously. And I am 47 fricking years old. wow.

And the amazing thing, on top of it all, is I ONLY HAVE 17 POUNDS LEFT TO GO! blink.gif I cannot believe it. It's happened so fast and relatively easily that I just didn't think I would be here now.

I updated my youtube vlog, so if you care to take a look:

CAN YOU BELIEVE IT??? Gosh, I just have to pinch myself! :D

Whatever you are doing is certianly working! I'd love to hear a post by you about your tips tricks, how much you exersise how often you eat. GREAT job!

Congratulations my dear friend!!!! You're so inspiring and doing so darned amazing!! :D Big hugs to you! I know you'll be at your goal sooner than you think, for you've already blown through most of it and you're barely 8 months out.
