OMG - I made my surgeon's goal....WooWhooo

Wow, I have so much to say, don't think I can put it all down... I want to start by saying thank you to ALL of you on the Juner's board...I spend alot of time with you, almost always lurking; but, I come here almost everyday and you guys are the best...you have been the glue of my support system...Every post I read brings me something, so many of you sound just like I sound to myself - ups, downs, stalls, issues and wows...I just don't think there are enough words to describe how much you ALL are appreciated by me... I think everyone is doing a fantastic job in the quest to be thinner and healthier...Which is why I'm so excited today - I MADE IT! Century Club today and surgeon's goal today too...18 more pounds to my personal goal...I feel so good, so energized...I started my journey @ 249 - I might have weighed more but really don't know because pre-surgery I refused to own a scale (I just didn't want to know and have to acknowledge how far off my mental image of self and real self really were)...With my pre-surgery program I lost a few pounds and the day I checked in for RNY I weighed 238...Yesterday, 8 3/4 months from my re-birthday, I made it to 100 lbs and today my surgeon's goal...I really want to lose 18 more pounds so I have a little wiggle room for that bouncebac****ep reading about; but you know what, if I never lose another pound, I would still be ecstatic... I had some pics taken today, can someone send me directions on how to post them? Seeing the difference in photos really helps grasp the reality... Sorry if I'm going on about this but, I guess you can tell, I'm really proud of myself...Thanks for listening...I'll be back to lurk later today...

You should go on about it and it is definately something to be proud of. That is awesome. I am so happy for you.

Thank you Carla...If you are not at your goal yet I hope to see you here real soon...If you are, then wooowhoo for you too...
