Scale Victory!

I started this journey 13 months ago with my initial surgery consultation weighing 312 pounds. A little over 7 months ago I had my surgery after losing 49 pounds on my own. Today I reached my goal weight...actually I missed my goal weight altogether and am 1 pound below goal. I didn't know what to expect when this whole thing began but I knew I needed to make some drastic changes if I ever wanted to be healthy. It boggles my mind to know I actually achieved a long term wight related goal. First time ever! I love my new body but will try to lose another 10 pounds now for cushion. I am so proud of myself for staying on the plan and following it to a T. I know the hardest work is yet to come in maintenance...but I'm going to relish every moment of this victory.

Fantastic Job!!! Reaching goal is a wonderful feeling. (I know from reaching mine with WW back in 2011) Yes Maintaining is a work in itself. I struggled and bounced for about 2 and 1/2 years to keep my WW weight off. It was hard, then I gave up WW and let the old habits come back with force. In about 9 months I put back on 80 lbs or more. I have since lost about 20 of those and getting ready to have R&Y come Tuesday! I can't wait. I know once I hit a goal again, I still will have the tool to help me, I just have to keep working and leave the junk alone this time. Protein comes first, never drink any liquids with meals I can do this.

Once again!!! Way to go for you. I am so happy. We just got to keep our eyes on the prize and remember we want to stay happy and healthy. I felt much better when I had the weight off. I now remember how horrible I feel with it back up and can't stand it. I can't ever let that out of my mind again.

Oh, and enjoy buy all the new clothes that I am sure you now enjoy getting to do!!! I did. I am now going to enjoy those I can get back into as I go back down!!
