I REACHED MY GOAL TODAY!

It's been 8 months and I reached my goal of 135 lbs. today! I have lost 82 lbs. and I feel fantastic! The journey has been smooth and easy for me and I will be forever grateful to Dr. Aceves for my VSG. I have changed my eating habits and I record every bite I eat in my Spark People app on my phone. I make sure I get at least 60 gms. of protein per day and I try to keep my carbs low. That is the hardest part, I guess, with keeping carbs low. But, if I ever was stuck at a wt. for awhile, that was the reason. My journey is not over...this will be a lifelong journey. Eating the right foods in small amts. is the way it will have to be forever and I am okay with that. We are going to Hawaii tomorrow and it will be interesting to see how I do with having to eat out a lot, but we will have a kitchen in our hotel. I will just buy the foods that I normally eat at home and I should be fine. I do not have a "beach body" because I have wrinkly skin on my tummy, bottom and thighs, but I look fine in clothes...! I am 56 and was not ever planning on wearing a bikini, anyway! Plastic surgery may be in my future...we'll see about that later.
Thanks for letting me share!

Hey Judy congratulations to you! We both started at about the same weight and our goals are similar. I am 5 1/2 months out and nearing my goal weight. I am worried that I won't reach it as the past few weeks weight loss has really slowed down. I am not giving up though, maybe it's my body readjusting. I am 51 and boy can I relate to the wrinkly skin! Not horrible but it's definitely there. Never thought I would get plastic but I am actually going for a consultation soon. Boobs are empty, tummy isn't bad but figured while I am at it I may as well get that tucked too!

Congratulations again and enjoy your vacation, you deserve it! Good Job!!!
