Its been a whole year!

I never post here, but lurk when I have a little extra time.. Ive followed so many of your stories and have ran into the same walls with you! One year ago today I went into surgery at the weight of 328! Today I weigh 142lbs!! Ive managed to lose the weight and keep my sanity thanks to this wonderful tool that I was given. The journey hasnt been easy, there have been many bumps in the road, bad food choices, and just plain stupidity.. I never gave up and I feel that I have been very successful.... I will continue to follow your stories, and Ill even post once in awhile now too!! Amber M*

Wow Amber- that is great! Congratulations!! Today is also my 1 year anniversary but I am down just 89, started at 257 at 5'9. Dont get me wrong, I am very grateful for every pound gone! You have achieved a great accomplishment. Keep it up. Sue

Congrats and Best Wishes! You have done great. We started at about the same point and I wish I had done as well as you. My anniversary is tomorrow and I have lost about 133 pounds in the year. I also have to deal with the military, but am out with a civilian PCM and all because there are just too many military in this area. Your story is good reading and pictures are great.
