3 Days will be my 10th month since my surgery,I am feeling good about my decision to have it because there has been nothing but positive results since. My only problem is I wanted badly to be under 300 lbs by my first year. Its Posible because i have only20 lbs to go, for that goal. When i look back at how far I have become i can only thank GOD.And my surgeon, I realized i havent been using my tool to my fullest advantage and i need to work on that a little more, So for the time remaing while its still working for me i will have to work it harder from my end. 179 lbs in 10 mos. aint bad considering it took longer to loose 50 lbs before surgery.

Happy 10 months to you April! I think we maybe set big goals for ourselves by our 1 year. I want to be at goal and you want to be under 300. I have 17 left to make it, but only 6 weeks left. I'm begining to think it might be a month or so later than my 1 year. That's okay too. The point is to get there, and we are still much healthier than we were 10 months ago. I too can say I haven't worked my tool to the best of my abilities either. Geez, we're only human! Congrats on the 179 pounds so far! That is truely incredible! You should be very proud of yourself! So here's to us working our tool harder and reaching our personal goals! Take care~ amber 296/157/140 -139

Congrats on your loss so far. I know getting to where you want to be when you want to be can be very difficult, and sometimes we put unrealistic goals on ourselves. We want so badly to lose quickly, but look how far we have already come. 179 lbs in 10 months is terrific. My 10 month anniversary is today, and I am down a total of 165 lbs. I never set goals for myself, I just celebrate all the little milestones as they pass. I thank god daily for the gifts that have been given to me. I would do it all again in a heartbeat. I still have 35 lbs to go to get to where I want to be, but I dont care how long it takes me to get there, I just know that eventually I WILL be there. Keep up the great work, and enjoy all the little things. Just think of how far you have already come, and where you were at this time last year. Anita B 420/255/220 soon
