One Whole Year!

Today is my one year. Like most of you, I am happy and proud. I lost 125 since surgery and 50 the three months right before. I am finally under 200 and feel sexy and young. 370 Dec. 22, 2004 320 May 25, 2005 196 May 25, 2006 The only pain I have these days is the pain my trainer gives me and I just love that pain. I still have struggles and am sure I always will. I keep a good food journal and take all my vitamins. When I have plateaus which I do, I just keep with my program and it goes away. My surgeon said I could start talking to plastic surgeons. I want to lose about 20 more pounds and keep stable for a few months first though. At 5'6 and 49 years old, all the muscles I have built, I think it is the right weight for me. I do not post to much but I do appreciate all the support I read on this board, Thanks and congrats to all of you. Julie

Way to go Julie! I'm impressed with the cycling classes you do. I don't think I could hack it! You've come a long way, and I'm very proud of you as well! Angie

Thanks Angie, you are doing great to and the cycling sounds harder than it is but I love all the sweating. Julie

Hey, Julie! Congratulations to you! You've done great. Love the pain reference. I'm a wee bit taller than you at 5'7.5" and 45 y.o. and I weigh 167ish and I think I'm in the right ballpark weightwise so I think your goal is a great place to be! I was laying on the bed earlier with my leg in the air and admiring my own leg muscles (through the hanging skin, that is) so I know where you are coming from. LOL! Post more often, if you can.

Thanks Kathy, I will try to post more. Your posts are very inspiring and I do enjoy reading about where you are etc. Julie
