Well I have hit my 1 year anniversary and feel today is bittersweet. I have 30 lbs to go before I am to my weight goal (so not a happy day) but I can fit the wardrobe I bought a year ago when I started this journey (so I am happy about this achievement!) I have been stalled at 156 for the past month (not surprised) and will continue to work at getting the last 30 lbs off.

I looked at pictures from a year ago and then look in the mirror. I see the difference in my figure but my mind still says I am overweight. I want to get upper arm surgery but know I need to wait until I am to my goal before I start the process of getting the extra skin removed.

So this next year's goal is to work on body image, loose the last 30 and then get plastic surgery.

All i can say is Wow! That is a great accomplishment. i have read that it might take VS up to 2 years to loose the weight. I am like you and would like to reach goal weight at my year mark but I don't think so with a weight loss of a pound per week. You have done exceptional though. So way to go. My arms are bad too. Good Luck!!

You've lost a teenage girl! LOL. Congrats!

Losing 109lbs in a year is nothing to fret about! Celebrate your victory and enjoy your new life!

Wonderful ! Great job
