I did it!
I'm sitting with with tears streaming down my face, Happy tears of course! This morning when I got up I decided to weigh myself. I stepped on the scale and it read 145! I started to scream. Then I got off and stepped on again. It read 145. I started to cry. I'm still crying. My ultimate dream goal was to hit 145. I can't believe I did it. I am so excited!! I just had to share my news with everyone. I can't believe that in just 7 1/2 months I have made to my biggest goal! WOW. I am so gratetful to have had the opportunity to have this surgery done! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Kelley , that is GREAT, but I am so jealous !! 
!! What did you eat ? I've only lost 83 pounds since March 31st. I want to lose 22 more pounds and I've only lost 2 pounds this month. I've happy for you. Judy Thanks so much!
What did I eat.... Well pretty much what I wanted to. I didn't and still don't eat the right amounts of protein and I hardly ever get in my 64 oz of fluid. I eat most of the same foods that I did before surgery but a lot less of course. I don't really watch my carb intake either. For me this has worked just fine, but it may not work as well with others. Everyone loses weight differently. Some HAVE to eat 60 grams of protein a day and drink 64 oz of fluids to maintain a normal weightloss. I feel pretty lucky that I lost the weight without a huge struggle. Trying to get in the proper amounts of protein and fluids was tuff on me. After a couple months I stopped struggling with it an just ate what I did before, like I said though alot less. It was also alot easier for me when I stopped focusing on the weightloss so much and just lived my life. You'd be surprised how much of a difference that makes. Just keep doing what your doing and try not to focus so much on the weightloss. Its gonna come off!!! Take care!!!

Kelley, I am so happy for you! And for your husband -- you both look so happy and so fantastic! I am delighted to read of your achievement of getting on your horse after so many years of not being able to ride. When I started this journey of WLS, I had a dream of riding again -- I rode as a child and haven't since. My husband bought me a horse, she was 6 months old at the time, as incentive. Hillie is now2-1/2, and doing well in her ground training and my (very petite) daughter has backed her, just walked around the ring. I am hovering at 200 right now and have dreams of getting on Hillie in the Spring. I truly, truly never thought it would happen...when and if it does, it will be the biggest moment of my life, apart from given birth to my children. You are truly an inspiration to me...thanks.
