My goal was 150 pounds and as of yesterday I have reached that goal. I started my journey at 270 pounds and wearing a size 24, I'm now in a size 8-10. For a grand total of 120 pounds lost and still losing. I feel healthy and energized and I have no regrets. I think God for giving me the courage to go through with the surgery, surviving it and giving my surgeon the gift to perform the surgery. 3/30/05 270/185/150

First of all let me say, "congratulations to you too, 85 pounds is a great accomplishment". I am 5"8, and 39 years old. My doctor and nutritionist said that 150 is the ideal weight for my height and age, and puts my BMI within a normal range.
