Oh so close to being under the 300 mark

Tonight was my monthly weigh in. I am 7 months post-op and was shooting to be under the 300# mark. I was sooo close.. Missed it by 2.25#'s. I have come so far already and feel FANTASTIC. I know I will have it off in no time.. I messed up my back last week and have been unable to get to the gym, so I think I may have made it otherwise. But I hold my head high, give thanks each day that I have been able to have this surgery and to have the support of my family and my extended OH family. I don't post much, but thought I would come out for awhile. I hope everyone continues to do well in their journey! ~Dan B.

Dan ... congrats on the wonderful results you've had so far ... I think it's fantastic too. Zapping that 2.25# off!!! I have a personal goal that it looks as I'll fall short of too ... I wanted to make the Double Century club by my surgiversary, but recent gallbladder surgery and the resultan****er retention from that caused me to *gain* 5 lbs, and it took me a week and a half to get that off ... so I'm still 30 lbs. away. Maybe by the middle of April. (sigh) You've got the right way of thinking about this whole thing ... we have so much to be grateful for and to hold our heads up about. Way to go!!! from Missouri Myra

Dan, Good for you! The lbs don't always move the way we want them to. But, it is so worth it! My mini goal was to get under 250 by my birthday which was yesterday. I did make it, but, only after revising my goal of being under 250 by end of January! Keep on trucking! Lori 384/248.5/168

I am very happy for you. Loris
