I weighed myself today and the scale said 153.3!  That's a BMI of 24.7 for 5 ft 6 inches!  Yee haw!  I have not EVER been able to say that in my life until now. 

Best Christmas gift I've ever given myself!

I did allow for some enjoyment of holiday foods but did not go crazy. I'd definitely say the sleeve helped that a lot!

I'm looking forward to understanding how maintenance works now. That's definitely the challenge!

Happy New Year everyone!

Wow, way to go! We started at the same surgery weight, but my surgery was in June. I really hope I'm able to say I'm in the 150's in 5 more months. How great that must feel. :)

Thank you!  If I can do it, anyone can.  I haven't done anything special - just following the rules that my surgeon's office gave me and paying attention to what people suggest on here.  I worried that I was not going to have the success I hoped for, so I'm so relieved and happy that things have gone so well!
