9 month checkup...and the results are...

Hello everyone, Yesterday was my 9 month checkup, and I am jumping for joy! I have lost 180 pounds!!!! (32 before surgery, the rest post op) I am so proud, and wanted to share with everyone. I am exactly 5 pounds from goal, and I can't believe it. This surgery was the best thing I ever did for myself. Thank you all for the prayers, emails, thoughts and kind words throughout this , fun, and exciting journey. This is only the beginning. The real battle starts now, as I have to keep myself moving in the right direction! I wanted to strike this pose last night to all the people who have ever told me directly, indirectly, to my face, or behind my back that I would NEVER lose weight... I DID! Thanks for letting me do the proud pea**** This is a very emotional moment for me.... Andrea
