I'm really thankful that I can give back or offer inspiration to anyone.  I've been so fortunate with this site and just my life in general, that being able to help or inspire anyone means so much to me.  Thank you!

I hadn't really thought about it but I would like to hit goal by my 10 month surgisversary which is also my birthday, October 19.  If it doesn't hit at that time it is okay but I really want it no later than my 1 year which will be Christmas time.  Either way I am going clothes shopping!  Something I have never done is a massage or a manicure/pedicure so those may be possibilities also.

My goal is the top of the bmi chart which is 154 but my pcp is saying to not go below 165.  I will just have to see how I feel when I get to 165 and reevaluate.  My ticker is set to 154.

I don't think you have to really decide until you get where you're happy. Clothes shopping is an awesome reward! Massage and mani/pedi are fabulous too!

We are SO in tune, girl!  I'm just about to post my 10 month post!  You have done SO MUCH BETTER than me haha.  I mean I'm happy where I'm at but YOU are an inspiration and I need to really bust my ass to get to my first goal and maybe lose a little more! 

You rock, life sometimes sucks, but you're not six feet under and you're in a SIZE 4!!! Shake what your mama gave ya!

band to sleeve revision and loving life!

You do you, and I'll do me

I have a very rigid, structured life and mindset (my poor kid...haha).  You have done beautifully, and we are both still figuring this whole thing out.  It's the journey, right?  Right?! 

I will shake what my grandmother gave me bc unfortunately I didn't get my mom's nice bubble butt.  LOL.  I never thought my hips would be small enough for a 4.  It's total craziness.  My husband went to lay his head down on my hip last night (he's cuddly, I am not), and he couldn't find a comfy spot bc I'm "too bony."  Yeah, honey.  I've worked hard for these bones.
