Topic: RE: new pix on profile
We had our surgery on the same day! I am at my Dr.s goal. I was a light weight. I have lost 90lbs. I want to lose 10 more, so I can say I have lost 100. I am no longer a diabetic. You look great. Congratulations on a great year. Is that your husband with you in the pictures? Tell him Thanks for all the military does for us. They are soooo brave. I hope they are all home soon. God Bless you and your family. Lisa

I have only lost 75% of my goal at one year out, but I'm hoping I will get there sooner or later! LOL!
Topic: RE: Lets Tally it up!
Don't forget me, but I only have a little to add. I started at 224, Now I'm 151. So, that's a difference of 73. Add that to the total, too!
Topic: RE: i FORGOT MY 1 YEAR ANN.
Me too! I completely forgot my one year anniversary on 8-17! To tell the truth, I think that is WEIRD, considering that I feel like I was totally REBORN on that day! I am living a completely different lifestyle than I was one year ago, and I can't believe that I didn't acknowledge the day! Oh, well. Maybe it just means that we've moved FORWARD in our lives? Who knows?
Topic: RE: Almost 1yr and a bit discouraged
I know how you feel. I have lost 75% of my goal. I lost that weight at about 8 months out, and have hovered there, give or take a pund or two, for the past four months. Ebvery now and then I think "is this IT????" and I get a little discouraged. Anyway, I think what I'll do right now is make one of those pictures you all made with a "bofore" picture inside of a "now" picture. that will make me feel better. LOL. Don't be discouraged. Just compare now to THEN, and realize it's an amazing accomplishment.

Sorry I'm late! Hope I can still join in.
Morning of surgery 283 (I gained weight with all those "last suppers" I kept having)
Doc's scales 30 days before surgery 277 (I use this as my official starting weight)
Today's weight 164
So I'm down 113 lb officially
So our tally is now 3342 (rounding up!) + 113 = 3,455
