I want to celebrate and shout from the rooftops! I made my surgeons goal on my appt day! I didnt even know he had a goal for me and he turns to me and says, "Congratulations, you made goal!" I said what??? I made up an arbitrary goal of 135 because i remember weighing that in college. I had no idea what my goal was supposed to be... He said "see, your ideal weight is 138 and I weighed in at exactly 138! Wow.. I thought I had missed it by three pounds but it was so refreshing to say that I finally made A goal. I always fall short but not this time! My wonderful hubby made a great slideshow of the whole process, starting from our Brazil vacation spring of 2011 to now. Its been quite a ride!!!!! Woohooo... I cant believe I made my surgeons goal in exactly one year!!!!! Wooop! enjoy the show..

My husband is the greatest! He really has been supportive of me on this journey. He takes great care of me. I love him so much. He is an English teacher and makes these little videos for lessons and decided to make one for me on my surgiversary.. its actually the 8th but he gave it to me a few days early because my surgeons appt was today. He also went with me to my Dr.! He took the pics there! Great man, he is.

Thanks for sharing...what an awesome video! You look so happy and really great in a bikini!!! What a transformation! This has inspired me so much! I hope I can be as successful (I'm scheduled for Oct. 8th).

You can do this too! It has been a roller coaster of emotion, going through the stalls and wondering if I was done losing, trying to believe the dream wasn't over yet.. I hung in there and kept on keeping on and I made it. You can too.. just keep in mind the end result and you will push through those plateaus! They are a necessary part of the process. I had plenty of them.. you can look in my signature and see that there were months with only a 3 pound loss and I was lucky to get that! I want you to believe in yourself, put yourself first for a change and enjoy the ride!!! You can do it girl!
