27 more pounds
until I reach my personal goal of weighing less than 200lbs. I call it my thank you jesus, hallijeuah goal lol. Weighing 366lbs, I never thought I'd be able to make it below 200. Though my surgeon seems to think I can get down to 150lbs which is what I'm suppose to weigh. Hmm... that just doesn't sound feasible. Anyways, I couldn't be happier and just wanted to share. Hope everyone else is doing well with their weightloss! Keep up the hard work.

April, Congratulations---you look amazing! I just made it below 200 and when my scale told me so, I just couldn't believe it because it's been so very many years since I've seen those numbers. I, too, never thought it would be possible. You and your body will know when you get to the weight you should be. I have another 42 pounds to reach the goal my surgeon set, which will put me at 145. But knowing others who have forced themselves to get to their "goal", some of them look too thin, and just don't look healthy. So I figure I'll keeping looking in the mirror and paying close attention to how I feel, and take it one day at a time.
I know exactly what you mean about looking in the mirror. I don't know if we're "vain" or if it's just all so surreal, we have to keep looking at ourselves to make sure it's us..lol.
Again, congratulations!
