One year anniversary!!

Hi All! I haven't posted in quite a while. I have been doing great. I am in college to become a RN. Life is great I have lost a total of 165 pounds. I have gone from a tight 4-5X to a comfortable 26-28. I am happy with my weight loss sometimes I feel like I could have lost alot more in the past year than I have. I should have exercised more.... I am very happy with my results but feel they could be better. I guess everyone has those feelings at some point or another. I just need to think to myself I started at 510# and now I am 345i****hink it is depressing because I read so many posts on here where people are smaller than me when they start out, maybe that is what discourages me. I shouldn't be discouraged at all I know!! Anyway happy anniversary to everyone here and goodluck in the future !!!! Cindy 510-345-????

Happy one year anniversary Cindy, I think you did awesome with your weight loss

Cinday what a great weight loss! You have done brilliantly and the biggest problem many WLS post ops have is comparing themselves to others here. You are an individual and you will lose at a different rate than others. If you feel your results could be better, keep a food and exercise diary and maybe that will help. I keep the diary to track my progress and it helps me cause sometimes I have to re-tweek my eating and exercise a bit to optimize the benefits of WLS. All the best and keep up the good work!

Happy anniversary Cindy and good luck! Mary Beth
