Om stars. That is wonderful. Really hard to comprehend. Im at day 8 of pre-op diet. Surgery monday the 27th. Do u exercise? What do u do and how often thanks. So so proud of you

You look really wonderful! Congrats on your success and happiness!!!

Thank you guys! Bozeswife... All great people in this group have been amazingly helpfull! Pretty much live on the idea- if it doesn't have protein in it, it doesn't go in my mouth & MODERATION!! I stick to 3 protein meals and 1/2 protein bar morn snack & the other half for afternoon. That's 20 grams. I drink tons of water... And exercise- walks, bike riding, some floor work (check with Dr on some, I had to wait 6 weeks to ride & crunches)... But I count running around the yard or taking walks on our property with the kids exercise. Good luck, Stay strong & use this group they are amazing!

Looking wonderful only 43. Don't tell my neighbor is older by like 2 years & she looks 50. You are looking really good. Keep up the good job!

Wow. That's for the motivation and good luck getting to goal!!!

You so don't look your age! You look wonderful!

Thank you everyone. I no longer feel my age (or older). I have so much more energy. Instead of having my kids "fetch" things for me, I jump up and get it/ do it myself.

Stay Strong and always Moderation!

Thank you. Four more days on diet. You are such an inspiration.

Bozeswife- I'm so happy for you, you're almost there. I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers. GOOD LUCK!!

Wow! You look amazing:) I can't wait to have a wow moment myself. Keep up the good work!

Congrats! How nice to be in the 100s! That day still seems far off for me but I'm closer than ever before!! Thanks for inspiring. I'll be you soon.
