Sometimes we feel like "if only I get to that goal wt". Will you finally be happy once you get to goal.

I don't think that seeing a certain number on a scale will make someone truly happy if they aren't already a happy person. I was pretty miserable when I started this journey, but I'm not anymore. It has nothing to do with the number on the scale; it's just that I'm so much healthier, and I'm able to go out and do more things.

that's awesome and I tihnk the right attitude, you go girl and you are doing soooooooooooooo great happy new year

Thank you! Happy New Year to you too!

I totally agree with @FancyChristine15 I had surgery for health reasons and the surgery has resolved my biggest complaint which was Type II diabetes, I'm completely off of all meds and I feel wonderful!! I know I will get to the weight where I want to be in time but happy for me is when I went to my PCP I had blood work done 3 months after surgery and my numbers were normal, my doctor and I both got teary eyed...she said this surgery did exactly what it needed to do for you!! she saw me struggle with my weight and try everything possible so yeah that defines my Happy Now!!

btw: That's a great question for people to really think about ?

I have pcos and the metabolic syndrome that goes with it. Down little over 70 lbs since August surgery. BP almost back to normal, a1c iz normal, cholesterol normal (1st time in 20 yrs), but the female pcos symptoms with cycles had come back in full force. My gyn said my body is doing the opposite of what they expected. Story of my life lol
