Hello everyone, I am well.  Just missing and at a stall.  I have been doing great, but I really want to come back to OH and focus on my goal.  I really would like to make it to goal, 20+ pounds to go.  I have changed my lifestyle and love to go to the YMCA.  My drinking water is good.  My food is really mostly good.  My problem is the sugar is back.  So,  I am making some changes and I want OH to be back in my daily routine.    Just wanted to say Hi and see how everyone is doing.

Congratulations! I know when I reached goal I was so nervous! Now I am 5 lbs under goal. It is really hard to get your head around it. Have fun with it and go buy some new clothes!

Hey we need some new pictures of you!

Greetings.
It has been a year and almost one month since surgery. I am now two pounds from my doctors goal.
That is a trip lemme tell ya! 
I have been working this am on wrapping my brain around that. For those of you who have helped me with this...Thank yous!!  I am not by any means skinny. The last two pounds will put me in the normal range for bmi.  I have had many feelings...what if I don't, what if I do...blah, blah, blah.
Well, the short outcome is: What if--SO WHAT??? I am fine the way I am. I am looking pretty good, I am a size 10 and some 8's, but MORE THAN THOSE THINGS I am soooo much healthier...and I frankly I deserve to be.
I think I will make it I think I will be at the surgeons goal. If I don't,  will I fall off the face of the Earth? No, will anyone even notice??? NO. So, now I wrap my brain around that...I can try and I will, but regardless I am a success:
   I am happier,
   I am healthier
   I am just glad to be me!

so with only 2 pounds to go I celebrate...me and my two stinkin pounds.

Enjoy your lives everyone we all deserve to be happy!
