Congrats to you too!!!

WOW!!! Congrats on all your successes!!!!! You must be very proud of all your hard work and dedication!!!!

I started this journey on the extreme end of morbidly obese with a BMI over 50..... As of my last weigh-in I am not even obese anymore!!! Just overweight!!!! WOOOHOOOOO!!!!

This wls has taken me so far and I love it!! Of course in the very beginning I was wondering "what the heck did I do!" But that is when I couldn't eat, couldn't drink and was scared..... Now, food is there as fuel not a passion.... I have days where eating requires a reminder and other days when I have to stop myself!!!

Just wanted to share my happy news.... I can't wait to get away from this desk and enjoy the beautiful weather outside!!!!

Take care everyone!!!

To be honest, I haven't been in the forum too much lately...I miss it but life is a little busy...

I hope I just missed the thread and all is well with Miss Thea..... Guess I will send her a PM.....

Anyone have any info???

Thanks!!!

Well folks, it's hard to believe but a year has passed.... I am down 133.8lbs.... 1.2 lbs from the original goal.... And yet I think I still want to try to go lower.... I am thinking 175 would be a good place to aim for now.... I am please with the results so far. this was probably the easiest part of the lifelong process..... now the hard part of maintaining.... Any advice from the Vets???

I am seeing Aspen at 2:15 for my 1 year follow up...... Would enjoy meeting anyone face to face!!!

Hi Thea,

Sorry things aren't going a little smoother for you yet....soon!!!

I sent you a PM for last weeks mileage. This week is a total of 95 km!! Yahoo!!!!

One of these days spring will show up and our numbers will skyrocket!!!!

Let's GO A TEAM!!!!!!!

That's fantastic!!!!! So happy for you!!!

Hi Thea,

Sorry for my late response too!!! I hope I am still responding in time!!

I totaled 88 km this passed week!!! Woot woot!!!

Go The A Team!!!

After work, hitting the gym.... the treadmill and then weights....my trainer has a program for me to tighten the tummy :) yippee!!!

The gym is also having a competition for the month....whoever burns the most calories on cardio machines will win a free month of membership!! Might just have to stay longer on the treadmill or elliptical!!!

Sorry about the slip on the ice but hey!!! You did the splits!!!

I will definitely need motivation some days...I think I would be disappointed with myself most days.... So maybe a fitbit is what I NEED!!!

Maybe for my birthday!!

At the beginning of my journey, (with the clinic) I weighed 325. they asked me what I felt would be a good goal. I figured 150....they suggested it most likely would be too low for me and my frame. So they used their calculations and came up with 190 for me. That is what I am aiming for on my ticker.... Since losing and getting close to their goal, I have felt I could still go lower than that but not too much since I have been overweight since age 5. I think if I went to 150 I might look/feel ill. I want to be healthy....

So that being said, when I get to their goal I want to work toward 175. I am currently in size 12 jeans and large tops. I think if I lose another 18-20 lbs I would be content with that..... I feel almost normal looking.... average size..... I don't know.... MY brain is still catching up with the changes...... as long as i don't go up I will be happy!!!

good luck on your journey!
