Congrats!! So inspiring!!! I have surgery scheduled for this Monday!! I'm so nervous, but reading all the positive stories helps so much!! How did u do it in 8 months - that seems fast!! I'm starting at about the same weight as u did and I would love to achieve the same results!! I have read a lot of posts about TTs - this worries me!!! Is it that bad after the weight loss?? Kind of scared!! I mean, I'm sure it's better than before but bad enough for TT???

No, I haven't had any plastics. I'm not sure I'll be able to afford it. But I'm thinking I will wait a year before deciding what I will do.

I was self pay so still recovering financially from that lol

Best money you ever spent - I'm sure you feel like you have your life back.

Well done,

Deano

You look great! What were your stats if you don't mind sharing? Any tips? I am four weeks out and started close to your weight. How inspiring;)

[altagirl 127]

Congratulations - you look great! How tall are you? My goal is also 120lbs even though everyone thinks that is too thin - but I am only 5'3".

I had surgery on 9/10/12 - did your weight loss slow down at some point or were you a consistent loser throughout. I am averaging 2.5 lbs per week and wondering if/when it is going to slow.

[lessofmeismore 1,405]

My stats, I'm 41...5'2 height

surgery date May 15th 2012

Starting weight 220

Current weight 130

My biggest tip would be to drink lots of Water and always eat Protein first then healthy vegetables, if there is room. Try to find a healthy balance that you can do and really try and focus on a lifestyle change that is healthy. We consume so little that its important to our health to make every bite count.

I love hearing about everyone's success.

Thank you all for your kind words!!

It means a lot!

I forgot to add that yes I had many stalls and lots of frustration until I realised every pound is adding up and I'm losing not gaining. I had stalls and then I would drop several pounds unexpectedly.

Don't let the scale control you, follow your plan and you will be successful <3

I've been waiting to scream that in my best imitation of a soccer goal voice!! I saw it when I first came to the boards and knew then I could not wait to scream that word..

I made GOAL!!

I hit 130, now that is my Drs. goal for me as he doesn't think I should lose more than that...nor my husband but secretly my goal is 120

Hopefully ill see that one day!

Congratulations!!! So happy for you. You inspire me!!

[rdoactv 218]

You look amazing! Thanks for the inspiration.

[mlecompte 20]

Congratulations! That's so amazing how long did it take you? I know all of u are hoping we can get there someday too!

Can I ask how tall you are... We have very similar goal weights... What did you start at and how long ago did you have surgery?

[Karishero 57]

Wow!!! Wow!!! Let me start by saying that you look incredible! Then let me follow that with your husband is right.. you don't need to lose anymore weight you look super the way you are... thanks for the pics they really make this real for newbies like me.
