Reached Major Goal today!

Hi everyone. I woke this morning , jumped on the scale and WOW i am ofically 130 pounds, surgeons goal weight. Very exciting ...although i have a personal goal of 120. THis is a big acomplishment for myself. Now its TATTOO time as a reward .... LisaMarie

WooHoo! That's awesome. You deserve your treat! What are you going to get (and where, if you don't mind my asking)? Traci

Fabulous!! I am excited for you (and for me). Each step you take is a milestone for each of us. Everyone is going to want to know what, why, where your tatoo. I am just < than 3 weeks post op and thinking of a tatoo as a sign of a right of passage a symbol of renewal and strength. Congratulations! My surgeon is not the most communicative person as of yet. Certainly about the surgery but I need to develop a relationship with him and this is one topic I'd like his input on. How and when did you and your surgeon develop your goal weight? SueK

Congrats pal. I knew you could do it! I am really happy for you. 120 is just around the corner. S

Hey LisaMarie Congrats I was just sitting here thinking what you weigh is the amount I hope to lose isn't that funny

As always thank you to everyone for your support. You are such an important part of this journey. I want to place tribal dolphins on my lower back. I already have 3 tattoos, this will be number 4. "Dolphins have a universal appeal, symbolizing freedom, joy, grace and serenity , uplifting the spirits of many people all around the world" Pushing through green waters Symbol of joy You leap from the depths To touch the sky Scattering spray Like handfuls of jewels Not caged by union rules Unfettered by sales targets No trains or planes to catch Your time is set by the flow Of the sea's tides And the moon's glow You give us images of ecstasy That we lock away Behind the doors of memory For quiet moments when released from our possessions We dream of a freedom like yours Poem by Horace Dobbs I am planning on placing it on my lower back. This spot also is important to me because i was never able to wear clothes to show my lower back, i was always wearing larger clothes to cover up. With this tattoo i am free to show my lower back... I am going to still work hard to get to 120. I just feel i will be happier there with some play room in case i fall off track a little. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~LisaMarie

Wowy LisaMarie! What great news! What a great idea! What a great poem! I am very very happy for you. What an incredible amount of work, thought, soul searching, and time went into achieving this goal. You go girl! Yahoo! Amy
