On August 19, 2011 I went in for my consultation with my surgeon. I weighed 319 lbs. I don't let people know that number. Even my husband doesn't know. I had to complete a 6 month medically supervised diet. I lost 33 lbs. I had my surgery on January 27, 2012. I celebrated my 6 month surgiversary last week and I'm 2.5 weeks from 1 year from my consult.

This morning I got on the scale and it read 219.0.

100 lbs gone! I lost 33 lbs pre-op and I've lost 67 lbs since surgery. In this last 6 months and 1 week, I've had 2 month long stalls where I vacillated between the same 2 lbs for 4 weeks. I'm a slower loser than some, but it's not a sprint, it's a marathon.

Now onto my next 20 so I can be below 200 lbs. I've GOT this!

Keep up the good work...

Congrats on your success! Keep it up!

Excellent work! Keep your eye on the prize and revel in your achievement!

I love the way you set goals that you can reach short term. Great way to keep the momentum high. Your doing great.
