I am heading out of town for a couple of days - but I just had to say this - in just over 13 months - I have hit my GOAL :frown::lol:

I can't believe how excited I am. I only picked 180 pounds as my goal because it was under 200 pounds and I couldn't imagine being 200, much less being under.

Now that I am under goal, I am thinking that my NEW goal should be 160 pounds. That totally blows me away that I would be saying that I think 160 pounds is an achievable weight for me.

I just needed to brag for a minute. Thanks for reading :biggrin2:.

Wow that's amazing, congratulations! You are such an inspiration - I hope next summer I'll be making a post like that! Can I ask you what your diet "plan" was? Right now I'm going through the dilemma of whether to keep obsessing about calories and carbs and whatnot, or to just make healthy choices, not eliminate any food groups but try to stick to the healthy carbs, etc..... so I'm curious how the successful banders got to their goal.

WOOOOOHOOOOOO TO YOUUUUUU!!!!!!!:frown::thumbup::lol:

:w00t:That is GREAT. I am being banded o 7/25, and I would like to know, what is your SECRET. What did you do to make the weight come off the way it did, very impressive.

Awesome! Way to go! Keep up the great work!! You must feel awesome!
