Another Milestone

Today in my journey another milestone was met; I have lost a total of 250 lbs!!! When I began this journey my BMI was 65, today's BMI 25.9. This puts me 15lbs below my surgeon's goal and 18 from my personal goal. Things that I have learned along the way are that this tool is not a magic bullet neither is there a magic window of opportunity. The tool is what you make of it by following the pouch rules: protein, complex carbs, water, vits and exercise. We all deviate from the plan at some point (time-to-time), rather your success is based on the percentage of time that you are following plan. ) This is not a journey about how saintly we are to the plan rather human trial and error.
