How's everyone doing?

Hey all!!

Can you believe February is so not far away and soon we will celebrate our 1 year post op! 

I've actually started my weight loss Journey on Jan 10, 2010 and have had VSG on Feb 14,2012.

I count my weight loss since Jan which my weight at that time was 333 lbs, this morning, i weighed in at 198 lbs!!

So that brings me down a total of 135 lbs loss and can hardly believe it!!

I still have a little way to go, but i am confident i will eventually get there.

I was exercising at least 30 mins a day 5 days a week but lately i've been slacking off and should get back up on the wagon!

I have also been tracking all my food in My Fitness Pal, every single day for over 240 days!! I believe that is what keeps me on track, as that is the only true way of knowing what goes in the mouth. 

For people that struggle, and don't track their food, you probably don't realize how many calories you are taking in as it's so easy to assume, and sometimes even by tracking, i'm very surprised on how much calories a little portion of food can have.

I don't regret this for a minute and very happy with my decision as now.

Would love to hear other people updates!

Sorry, just checking into this forum for the first time,  Had surgery on 2/23/12 and down 109 pounds from then (down 142 from my high weight).

best decision of my life...but know I need to keep up with psych recommendations on food 'thoughts' so I don't let old habits creep in.  Since vacation in September and holidays afterwards only losing about 4 pounds a month...but, still losing.  Love this website, keeps reminding me of the rules of WLS!

Here's to a great February anniversary to us all!

Congrats you are doing great!!

Thanks for the update!!

Would love to hear more about people that had surgery in Feb 2012!! Where is everyone??????? LOL

I hit my goal and want to make sure I keep the wt off.  I love being off most medications and feeling normal once again in so many ways.  Feb 24 will be a yr out.  I wish my hair would start  growing back thicker.

Congrats in meeting your goal!! I'll be 1 year our Feb-14 however i still have a bit to get to goal
