I DID IT!!

one of my final goals was to make it to the surgeons goal by my one year anniversary date. i didn't think i could do it but i did!! he wanted me to get to 143 and i wanted to be there by 2/1/06....i'm cutting it close but as of this morning i'm at 143. next up...my personal goal of 140 and i wanted to be there by the time i see the surgeon on 2/9...but no pressure!! woo hoo!!! Steph 350/143/140(personal goal) (5'8") at surgeon's goal!!

WOOHOOO! I wish I could say the same - I'm trying my best to be down 100 lbs by my 1 year re-birthday (Feb. 21) but I don't know if I'll make it. Lynne 297.5/199.5/150ish 125 in my dreams

you've got plenty of time to get there...you'll do it!!! Steph

Goooooo Steph, I knew you'd get there, it's been a wonderful year, and tomorrow you get to celebrate your Rebirthday.....what a day to remember, a year of celebration, lots of WOW moments and renewed health. Keep on keep'n on sweetie, you definitely have alot to be proud of. Hugs, Dana

Congratulations!!! I know I was secretly hoping to hit 155 before my 1 year anniv. but I am still sitting at 166 lol. My doctor never gave me a goal. Kia

How encouraging! My anniversary goal was that my BMI would be out of the overweight category, but I'm not going to make that. I see the surgeon on the 6th (wi**** was later since my first anniversary is Feb 22nd). I'm 5'9", and have gone from 305 to 170, from wearing tight 32s to 16/14s now, and I'm happy about these changes. I recognize that this next year will be telling - to strive to exercise regularly and eat nutritiously so I can become healthier and healthier. For some reason I feel that if I can handle this weight loss for a year, I'll be able to do so for a lifetime. It is amazing to me that you went from 350 to 143 in a year. WOW! Deborah
