Woot woot! Congrats on all your success. I couldn't believe how little you are getting when I saw you yesterday! You are rocking this, and I know you are working hard to get your deficiencies corrected and it sounds like you're really on the right track with it! I have little doubt you'll be in ship shape by your surgiversary!

So happy to see you are loving your VSG now and you are doing so well with it. I know it wasn't what you wanted but you are making it work for you.

You look wonderful. Keep doing what you're doing because it's working.

I am curious, when you say your carbs are between 20 - 40, do you include carbs in fruits and veggies in this total?

You're amazing and inspiring! I don't know how people stay motivated over the long term...but I know that you can do this and reach your goal. You have at the very most just 52 more pounds to lose! You've got this, girl. And this time you won't let winter kick your ass....you're going to be active all winter for the first time....skating, playing outside with the kids, maybe take up cross country skiing or winter hiking.
You're looking beautiful and healthy!
