Been over a year now....

Well it's been one year two weeks and six day since I had my RNY. I must say, my life is much better since then. I was somewhat down when my one year came around because I didn't reach my weight goal of 160, on that day 2/10/05 my weight was 172 and I worked so hard to try and reach 160, but the weight kept going up and down between 177 and 172, so I said forget it, and that I did. My new weight as of today is 169, still not the 160 i want to reach, but I know I will get there. My doctor told me not to put so much into what the scales say, to look at me, he said I don't look a pound over 150, but that still don't change my goal of 160..... 169 and counting Here are some picture I took on my anniversary date.... http://photos.yahoo.com/lross8192 291/169/160 -122 Linda

Linda, you look great. Congratulations at being so close to your goal weight. Look out world, here's another beautiful woman. Denise

Wow, Linda, you look great! Thanks for sharing your pictures with us. I too was hoping to reach goal by one year, but it wasn't in the books. I still have 30 pounds to go and have lost a total of 80 pounds. I'm such a slow loser! But I'll get there eventually. Best of luck to you............Wanda

Hi Linda, you look great. I didn't reach my goal either and it seems like I've gained a few lbs. This isn't making me happy...... My goal was to loose 100 lbs., I started at 241 and now weigh between 150-160. I seen my scale at 149 one day and now it reads 158.... I was just dignosed with IBS which says you can gain weight... I can't believe this is happening to me now... Summer is right around the corner. I just need to get my butt back to the gym.... Keep up your good work, your a beautiful person. Lisa
