Doing great. I'm officially down 90 now. 14 lbs to my doctors one year out goal (already!) and 35 to personal final goal. I'm in size 10 to 12 depending on how it was made. And I'm running 5Ks like its my new job. Hehe. I feel amazing. This is the best thing I ever did for myself.

Down 99 lbs. 8 under goal. The 36" jeans are loose and I'm working on maintenance. It's crazy, but if I sick to anything like my post op diet, I keep losing weight.

Meeting with my surgeon for my 6 month check up Wednesday (yep, a little late).

Took my daughter to Mexico this week for her gastric sleeve. Such wonderful attention she has received during this process. I'm so excited for her as she starts this new journey to a healthier, happier girl!

I surpassed my doctor's one year goal for me this morning. Not quite 9 months out. He wanted me at 150 by my one year anniversary/surgiversary. I'm 149.6.

My BMI is officially in the Normal range. Wow! Best feeling ever

I have 20.4 lbs to my personal goal of 129. That will set me comfortably in the mid range of normal bmi since I'm very small framed.

I can't believe how far I've come. Last year I could barely walk a mile. Now I'm training for a 10k and signed up for a mile fun run in 2 weeks because "it's only a mile" ???? haha!

How is everyone in our October group doing??? Thinking about you all and hope you're finding success

Hi all October 2015. I seem to be stuck for over 6weeks now at 159. Working out etc.. but kind of lax in food probably. Any suggestions on getting back to losing?

I'm 10/19 and am in the same boat. Hovering around 165-167. I need to refocus and get back on track. Not doing horrible, but also want to get to 150!!!

Good time for a year 1 update!

1. Hit my goal (190) on March 3rd and been in between 183 and 192 since. Had my annual check up Wednesday and weighed in at 188.

2. ALL my blood work came in perfect, even my liver tests and glucose.

3. I exercise more than suggested - 70,000+ steps a week. My arthritis is mostly tamed and I even walk 18 holes of golf and carry my clubs!

4. I socialize more than I ever dreamed possible. If I see a bunch of unhealthy food coming my way, I have a beer, drink 1/3rd and dig in. Unhealthy food can't hurt you (much) if all you eat is 4-6 ounces.

The keys to my maintenance success are threefold:

1. Developing an arsenal of 100-200 calorie healthy "meals" that make up 90% of my diet. This pretty much enables me to eat carefree on the other 10%.

2. The exercise!

3. A great scale and fitness tracker to "keep me honest".

Without a doubt, the best thing I've ever done for myself!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
