Thank you.

That is what I love the most that she looks like me. I looked at a picture the other day of me at my heaviest and I couldn't believe it. It's kind of hard to look at pics like that :-(

Yes it is! I am actually at 84lbs down! Lol I am so happy I made this choice and I feel so mich better.

I'm close to you guys too! I'm 91 lbs down. Surgery was 12/17. It's so amazing how great I feel. Awesome job to you both and everyone!!!

Hi December Peeps! Everyone seems like they are doing great. I'm down 65 pounds. My date was 12/20/12. I feel great. My weight is coming off slow and steady. I loose about 1 to 3 pounds a week. Love dropping a size! It's fun when I have to go shopping because nothing fits! Wishing you guys all the best!!

Yes, it's great going through this together. My surgery was 12/10/12 and I'm slow and steady, too. About 1-3 lbs per week. I feel great as well. So happy about this decision.

Forgot to say that I'm down 63 lbs and have about 15-20 to go. Not sure where I want to end up. I'm 5'6" and thought 150 might be good but I'm not sure anymore. Have to see! I do know that 150 is no longer overweight so that would be great!

Hope everyone enjoyedd their mothers day!

I'm 5'6 as well. Down 77. Current weight is160 and I had a goal weight but I'm thinking it might be too small. When I started out, I wanted to hit 130 but I might bump it up to 140.

I got my results back from my bladder test. It is normal thank goodness. So just one more complication I need to have cleared up from the hysterectomy. I started working out after work today. Before hysterectomy, I worked out after work. But after, I thought I would go before. But I would end up not going due to time. So I'm back in the wagon, still getting 80+g protein a day. I have dabbled with foods such as a toasted English muffin. I also had a slice of mushroom thin crust pizza. Stomach handled it well. I hope working out again 5 days/week will help me lose these last 20lbs.

Snow, is that you in that pic??? Wow what a difference. Awesome!!!

I wished more Decembers would pop on here and give us an update and a picture.

I am loving my new life, my boyfriend is more than I could have ever asked for, and my family. I am so grateful for this surgery. I feel great, look great and it shows in so many more areas of my life. Definitely more confidence!!! Huge plus.

Yup, its me in the picture! No more double chin! I have had no regrets with surgery. I feel great and have been more active than I have been in years. I feel like I have regained a part of my life back. I joined a kickball league, play beach volleyball a couple nights a week, shake my booty with Zumba, and am hiking often. I'm getting ready for a week long backpacking trip on the Appalachian Trail. Gen, you are looking great. I'm so glad you have met a wonderful man. You deserve it! I went on a date a couple weeks ago. It was so fun! I still can't believe, sometimes, the new me! Loving it.

I like making little goals in my progress. Getting below 200 was a big accomplishment. Dropping to a size 14 feels great. Having to buy underwear because mine were literally falling off as I was walking... Awesome!

I hope everyone has an amazing day!
