I cannot believe that I made* GOAL* today.....
I am shouting on the roof tops...I have made my goal of 140 pounds as of this morning. I had my first plateau this past month and it took several weeks to drop those last few pounds. I think that I may try to lose another ten pounds or so, but that will be about it.
I feel great! I still get tired quite often, but for the most part I feel more alive than I ever have. I have alot more self respect and feel that I have more self esteem
I am starting to really like food again, the taste and I am enjoying cooking again. Also this past month I *FINALLY* started to tolerate protein which is really good since I have deprived m,yself protein for months now...I am almost afraid to go next month to get my labs done!
I cannot thank you all enough for all the support I have received on here...we all WILL make our goals

How awesome! Congratulations... I hope you are doing something very special for yourself to celebrate this wonderful accomplishment. I would be lying if I didn't admit to being a teensy weensy bit jealous. Your stats are so similar to mine and I am no where near my goal of 135. I started out at 243 and had my surgery the day after you. I am now at 183 for a loss of 60. The good news is that it is still coming off... slowly but surely. Best wishes, Amy and continued success!!!
