I hit the 100 pounds lost mark this morning. 203!

I wasn't sure it was even going to happen by Christmas, so I'm very excited! What an amazing journey.

Congrats Shiny!!!! That is such a fantastic milestone. What are you going to do to celebrate? Hope it's something great because you really earned it.

ShinyHappy - that is marvellous!! Congratulations!

Congratulations! That is a fantastic achievement.

By the way, you certainly dont look like you have a BMI of 30 in that photo, you're positively sylph like!

Well, my own sort-of celebration is that I wore a special dress to church today. It was the dress my mother wore to my wedding twelve years ago. She died not quite two years later. I never even considered that it might fit me someday and yesterday I tried it on and it did fit. So I felt beautiful at church in my mom's dress. I'll post a pic later.

Thanks for all your support. You guys are awesome.

Adding photo.

Oh WOW!!! You are such an inspiration for me!!! I will be banded on the 27th and I hope to have as much success as you. That is soooooo exciting!!!! Congratulations!! How long did you wait after surgery before you started working out?

Congrats!!! Hitting the 100 lb mark is huge!!! I celebrated by going to a boutique that sold Bobbie Brown make-up. The sales lady gave me a make-over. When she was finished she wrote everything down and told me I could come back as I could AFFORD it and buy a little at a time. I told her she didn't understand I had just lost 100 lbs and I would take one of each. You should have seen her petite little face!!!

That deserves a celebration!

Well done and keep up the good work. To concentrate that long to lose that much weight deserves a medal.

Congrats.

Congratulations! You've done a great job!

Congratulations! You have worked so hard. I'm so happy for you. I bet that felt good.

Hmmm... I thought I replied to this already. Anyway, CONGRATS GIRL!! You are a rocking horse!

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is awesome! Can you believe where you were a year ago? Seems like a lifetime doesn't it.

Just wanted to update you all that two days shy of my 1 year mark I weighed 199 this morning! My goal was to be here by my bandiversary on Sunday and I can hardly believe I made it! That 203 stuck around for a very long time, so I had almost given up hope of making this specific goal. I also just got a fill, so that helped. Here's to reaching my goal in year 2!

That's fabulous Shiny!!!!

Congratulations!

okay. you are all such an inspiration to me. I am only 1 week post-op today! Very new to the site. Any advice you guys - who have all done AWESOME - can give? please do. Thanks..
