Under and Over 200!

I am finally under 200 pounds--193--and so have lost over 200 pounds--205 to be exact. I think this has been the most exciting goal to make so far. I am now looking into plastic surgery--breast reduction, arm lift, and tummy tuck. This has been such a great surgery for me. Good luck to everyone else. Sally 398/193/170

hi sally. congrats on the success. you and i must have been posting at the same time. so i'll ask you - are you doing anything special to commemorate your weight loss goal at this point? just wondering. since i made my 200 lbs and don't want it to just go by unnoticed. thanks dorthe

Dear Dorthe, Really I haven't done anything special. I have started looking into breast reduction and an arm lift. I want to be at goal before the tummy tuck. If anything, I think I am more hesitant to buy clothes now as I get closer to goal (that was one thing I'd been using as a reward). I think my motivation is acutally a bit higher to exercise and eat right since in many ways the finish line is within view. Maybe still over a hill and around a few bends yet, but it is approaching! I did call a few friends to let them know. I don't give regular updates as many of my friends struggle with weight and I don't want to be unkind in my success. I did buy myself some new lace yarn--I knit lace shawls--to start a complex sampler shawl. In a brigh****ermelon/coral pink! Congradulations on your own success as well, Sally

Congratulations Sally!!!! This is so fantastic! Let us know how the plastic surgery inquiry goes and what you decide on! Lori

Way to go Sally, Your weight loss is very much like mine. I think the 200 pound barrier is big both losing 200 and going under 200. I hope you feel as good as I do. The change in my life has been fantastic. Stay on target. John
