I did at the age of 25! Not too bad for my 50 year old butt. I am sticking to the plan 100%. No cheating, no wiggling, no "well, maybe this one time".

And, I realized today that I am only 9 flipping pounds from entering "one-derland". Which is crazy for my former 447 pound "I used to have to stand on two scales (one foot on each scale) and add the weights together" brain to wrap around.

I am so thankful for the wisdom shared on this board by the Vets. :)

Great Job! your surgery was one day before mine and it looks like you have lost a lot more than me since the surgery. Good for you, for staying on track. Success like yours make me want to try harder to stay on track. Thanks for taking the time to post

Elina,

To be honest, I wouldn't be where I am so far if it wasn't for people like yourself, Frisco and other successful vets posting on the boards.
