GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I officially hit goal this morning. 2 days shy of 11 months. What an amazing 11 months it has been. Dr. Brader's goal for me was 150, mine was 145 and as of this morning, I am 145!!!! I had to share this with all my friends. I thank each and every one of you. You have all been instrumental in keeping me on track and with the program to allow me to reach goal. So, here's a big high five to this board - I'm not sure I would have been as successful without you!!!

Last July, I walked into Barix weighing 299, then 285 the day of surgery. This morning, I am 145 - my goodness, I lost a whole person. I weigh the same as my husband now!! I wear 6's or 8's as opposed to 30/32's. My BMI is now 24.8!!! I am normal!!

I'm sitting here crying as I write this, this has been a most amazing journey that I got to share with such wonderful people.

I had to share my news this morning first with my friends!! Thanks for reading and sharing all this with me.
