Woo - almost got the camera haha. I have been hanging around the same weight for a couple of weeks and its starting to move again. It has been a very long time since I hav been below 200 - probably 17 years or so.

For the first time in my life I feel like I will actually get to where I want to be - that I wont fail again. This sleeve is the best durned thing EVER!

woo 100's!

Chimera

I NEVER doubted for a second that you could do this!!!!!

FAIL is a nasty four letter word that should be taken out of the dictionary!!!

119 lbs down the toilet (literally?? ) how great is that

Being a member of onederland is terrific - great feeling - sense of accomplishment

being a member of the Century Club too - WooHoo

your happiness, excitement is coming through the monitor loud and "bright"

take care sunshine

keep up the good work, you got this!!!!

big kudos on enterring the 100's - we've been waiting for you with open arms

Just remeber to always be viligant, be always aware of your eating patterns...we are beating a disease here, but it can come back.

NOT trying to be a downer! That comes from some personal experience, you forget how much of this is in your head and heart, and your body remembers that...

read 'the Power of Habit' by Doughill if you can...informative, very.

And yayayayaya! Sounds like you are doing great, I know no one can experience what you are feeling for yourself as much as you are, but so many of us are right there with you...everyday we are a product of what we did the day before...and now our choices give us our lives back, rather than take them away!

Thanks you guys! I am pretty happy - I am not one of those to take things like this for granted, it has not been easy and has been hard fought. Pook and grammy since my husband and I had vsg's done two weeks apart - he is right at goal (weighs 185 - was 284 at surgery, and 318 like me at his highest) and he is a terrible junky eater. Every day I am present with this - writing everything down, tracking, I go to all of the support group meetings - he does not - I was the one who did all the research, buys the foods, supplements, makes the appts, etc.

He started buying pretty bad stuff (hi processed carbs)and I got angry with him and told him to keep the junk away from me - as our cupboards and fridge are sacred and only for for healthy Proteins, fats, fruits and veggies - and loads of Vitamins, and various bariatric goods. He snapped right back with it and is back on the program. I had a little foray into straying from the food plan in Septemeber - it tasted good at the time - then made me feel sick and took forever to get it out of the house - because we cant eat stuff very fast lol.

He knows we are both addicts with food - and the price is too high to go back to our old ways. He certainly feels too good - he struts around like a rooster now, and he looks great I am still trying to wrap my mind around how huge the changes with myself are - clothes that were snug in May, I cant even wear anymore. I have had people at work look at me as if I was a stranger - until i realize after the fact that they actually dont recognize me lol.

thank you for the reading sugestion - I will pick that up. both of you have been inspirations to me on this board - thank you for sharing your wisdom and light!

Wow congratulations how fantastic! You so deserve it! I can't wait to join you!!

Awesome Job!!!! Congrats

Terrific....feel proud, I'm right behind you:)
