One Year and At Goal

[Barb 0]

Friday marked one year for me and what a great year it has been. On Saturday I went to the walk in clinic where my PCP is and asked the nurse to weigh me........................

I am 7 pounds below my goal weight.

I am ready to stop loosing and work on maintaining now.

Thanks to you all for the year of great support and encouragment.

Congratulations on a job well done!!! What a wonderful year of change you must have had!!! I hope that by a year I am approaching my goal weight too. At any rate, the changes are becoming obvious, and health wise alone, it was without a doubt the best thing I have ever done for myself! You have every right to be very proud...thanks for the inspiration!!! Tell us what you found to be the best thing about the weight loss....

Congratulations, that is wonderful. I can only hope to be close to my goal in a years time. You must feel great.

Well Kat, there are so many "best" things, I will tryt and keep it short.

I feel great.

I can wear anything I want to.

I only eat when I am hungry.

I went to speak to a group the other day and I was introduced as beautiful and charismatic.

And probably one of the best things for me is that I am in control of many things, the given is probably food, but the other is alcohol. I don't drink much now because I stay to full to drink. This is a good thing for more reasons than one.

Barbara - You give me hope! I'm still trying to get to a good fill level, so it feels good to hear from people for whom the band has been so successful:-)

Barb that is wonderful. I am hoping by the end of my 2nd year I will be at goal. I am a little slower. But that is okay. I will take what I have lost so far. I just got totally unfilled and hopefully to start again sooooon. Congrats....<><
