can it be... oh yes it can be.. the big 100 for me.. today of all days.. THANKSGIVING.. boy did i give thanks.. I was "stalled" on that 180 spot for it seemed like a lifetime.. wow.. from my highest- this time last year.. I was 275 pounds- day of surgery I was 263- but I'm going by my highest- because I had to work hard to get those 12 lbs off from october to july.. up and down i went.. I was so scared that this TOO wouldn't work.. today i'm in a size 14 bottoms and 16/18 tops..my waist is 38 1/2 not 56 3/4!!!! that i was in july!!! and hips- so close.. today are 40 1/4 from 59 3/4 !!! even my shoes are smaller- i'm in 6's sometimes 5 1/2 not 7 wides!!
175 can you believe it??? WOW... so so so VERY HAPPY.. I only have 10 pounds to go to get to my first goal i wanted to end at.. (I think now I want to try for 150 or even 145)

That is FABULOUS!!!! Congratulations!! 
Congrats, Jennifer! Such an achievement. It seems like many of us set a high goal (mine is 170) and then the closer we get to our "high goal", we start looking at a little lower number. I know that for me personally I have never, ever sustained a weight below 200 for more than a couple of months (except in elementary/jr. high). To think that I could sustain 170 is such a thrill - I couldn't possibly imagine hitting and maintaining 150! Now that 170 is coming into sight, maybe 150 is too.....
A good friend had the surgery in Oct 2003. She told me her first goal was to wear a size 10. After she reached a size 10, she decided that a size 6 would be good and continued to lose until she was a size 6. She's now a workout fanatic and is wearing a size 0/2. I don't want to be as small as she is but a size 10 would be great (formerly I wanted to be a size 12). Seems like our expectations change the closer we get to goal (I'm 20 pounds from goal).
