First you need to think that you will be successful! We have a tendency for beating ourselves up and not thinking we will succeed because of our MANY failed attempts in the past (at least that is how it was for me). But I really got motivated reading other people's post on this site. Also, My doctor wanted me to wait 2 months before starting a more strenuous workout plan, only walking till that point. Once those 2 months were up I really became a gym rat. I love it, even got a trainer and everything. I workout 4-5 times a week usually.

We are here if you ever need to voice your concerns or need inspiration. It really is the hardest thing I've ever done in my life but I'm looking forward to what the future holds. Sometimes I get discouraged thinking that even now I am the size most people are before they have surgery, not after loosing 100+ pounds. But we will get there, just may take us a little longer than others!

Congratulations!! I can't wait for those words to cross my lips too!

Congrats! Congrats!

Congrats! I hope I'm there someday, too!
