thanks kat...i have been watching you as well...hope things are going well for you.

Hi.. I'm new too. Well I've been on and off reading post for the past 6 months. I recently decided to have the VSG procedure. I'm slowly giving up my diet coke. I have one after afternoon. I think that is going to be the hardest thing for me to give up. Well that and bread..

hey...well it sounds like we have been doing the same thing...I was addicted to pepsi...i havent had a pepsi in almost two months.  Hardest thing i have done so far...the bread wasn't easy either, but these are the changes we need to make in order to change...so i just decided, what the heck...i better do it now...but i have to tell you...you can do it...if i can...i know you can.

Thanks! We can do it!!!

 Hi... Nice to see you here...

Mario you are my inspiration....100 pounds in 3 months is phenomenal....I am so hoping my journey will be as successful...keep up the great work.

I truly appriciate that! 

100lbs in three months was tough but dont think in "lbs", think in "percentages"! My goal was 227 lbs in a year.  So thats 44% to goal in three months! I am guessing I have more to loose over all than the majority so thats why its important to focus on the %, not the number! You can do it too... check that,  you WILL do it!
