I stepped on the scale this morning and saw that magical number that I set for myself in the beginning of this journey. My goal was to get to 230 and that is what popped up this morning. My surgery was on April 3rd of this year. At pre-op I weighed in at 362. So that is 132 pounds gone. And those pounds are gone forever!

At the moment I am still contemplating what to do from here. Part of me a very small part off me wants to say ehh I am good. A larger part of me wants to now change the goal. You see years ago I was at the highest weight I ever saw on the scale which was 418, so my full weight loss total to date is 188. That being said I kinda want to see my total loss be at 200. Seems like a pretty cool number to me. I know I can get 12 more pounds off. I will be deciding over the next few days on what to do I guess.

The journey itself was in no way an easy one. Sure I lost a ton of weight in a short amount of time but you HAVE to work at it. Did I sometimes eat things I shouldn't. Uh yes. But I was able to stack more good days together than bad. I have never felt better than I do today and I know that its only going to get better!

Oh man you and I have the same numbers basically. 8 months and 9 days, that's amazing. Congrats. Today is probably a day you will remember always. I hope I am as successful as you are.

Wow - congrats!!!!!!!

Looks like you are well on your way endless!! Its hard work but any of us can do it!

I hope I have that kind of success. I am at 422 and hoping to have surgery end of Jan. I would love to see 230 on a scale

Way to go!

Good luck on getting the surgery! You can do this! I probably have not been this weight since Junior high so it is very strange to see myself at this weight. Its an entire new world!

Wow! Congratulations on getting to goal so quickly. Great job!

Way to go!

Wow...congrats on getting to goal!! Whichever way you decide to go with losing a bit more or not, what's really important is how much life you've already added to your life. Great job!!

Thanks everyone!!

WOO HOO!!! Way to go!!! I'm am super pumped for you And you are so right, 200 gone would be pretty great to see!

It really would be cool to see... Thank you!

Goals sometimes have to move...I know I once had a goal of living in Hawaii, well I moved to Hawaii in 2003, now I'm back in Washington State...I had goals at work, met, done, did that... I too have goals for my weight, unlike you I've not gotten there yet. I only wish I could see 230 or anything in the 200's, that would be so great. Congrats and hope you find new goals to set and meet...life is all about setting and meeting our goals. Again Congratulations, and Go Sleeve!
