Well, I've survived a year, lol. What an amazing journey it's been. I've learned so much.

The support on the board is great. I'm on here every day reading what going on. Chiming in if I can. Thank you to all of the vets. You rock.

To summarize my highest weight I ever saw (around 2004) was 265. I was 224 when I started my WL program and just under 200 the day of surgery. (In the attached photo I think I was around 225).

I reached my goal weight of 138 three weeks ago. I am now 135. I imagine I'll stop losing soon.

I get 80-100 grams of Protein a day. I exercise 4-5 days a week. (Walking, biking, resistance). I also golf, and swim, amongst other things. I enjoy running, but my knees don't. So I'm working on it.

I'm 52 and feel like I'm 20. This is the best thing I've done besides marry my husband of 30 years and have our amazing son. ???? They've been my biggest supporters.

My major health issues have resolved. No more metformin. Normal A1C.

Down side is loose skin (yes, I am pursuing plastic surgery). Also developed acid reflux. That's a trade I can handle. I wonder if I had it all along. My butt and boobs are gone...MIA. One will get fixed...you can guess, lol.

My words to live by...life is short, so get your butt out there and LIVE it. Really SHOW those that you love that you love them. That includes yourself.

Good Golly Miss Molly ... You look like a diff person! congrats.
