11 month anniversary

Hi fellow october peoples! Today is my 11 month anniversay and I am at 205 pounds, down from 349. I'm in a size 12/14 down from a TIGHT size 28. I exercise 5 days a week, eat well, get my water in and feel awesome! This surgery was just the tool I needed to get motivated to be healthy! Life is grand in so many ways. I did have some heartache in my lovelife recently but am dealing with that. Dating is NO easier when you're thinner, maybe even a bit harder!!! My next mini goal is to be 199 by my 1 year on 10/22. I have 6 pounds to lose in 1 month. It seems like quite a bit but I'm going to go for it!!! At the very least I'd like to get out of the "obese" category and down to "overweight" which will be at 202 pounds. I can't believe I'm still considered "obese" at this point! CRAZY! Hope everyone is doing well with their goals for this month. Our 1 year is coming up people! Isn't it exciting?? Amy Lap RNY 10/22/03 5'9: 349/205/180???

You're doing great, Amy! I am stuck.. but I won't get into that. Good Luck for your goals... I can't believe this year has gone by so darn fast!! LOL Pam

Congratulations, Amy!!! My year anniversary is next Friday, October 1st! I started out at 362lbs. I'm down to 207lbs. My year goal was to get down to 200lbs., but it's ok that I didn't make it, because I feel GREAT!!! I work out and can live my life, not just observe it. I think that we're all very brave to have the courage to not only want to be healthy, but to actually do something about it! I'm proud of you and all of us, who have had the GB Surgery. Your WL Buddy, Jane 362/207/162

Amy, You're doing great!! With our one year anniversary approaching I've gone from "I'm happy with where I'm at" to "yikes! I'm so close to goal I've just gotta make it by my one year mark!". Then I worry that my goal of 155 isn't low enough, and that perhaps I should be losing more. Somedays I look in the mirror and think I'm done...and I look great (even my PCP last week said it looked like I need to be done!). Then there are other days...as I think about my TT being only a few weeks away..that I think I need to get my butt in gear and get rid of more of "this fat" before my TT!! I'm not sure if I really have "this fat" to be worried about, or if its just me not adjusting to being done! I long for the day when I can feel comfortable staying as I am! Ahhhh the saga of an almost thin woman! Kathy

You're 5'8 right? 155 sounds really good to me at that height! I'm just shooting for 180 while I'm at 5'9 right now. You've done so well. It is hard to know what's a good stopping place. I always told myself that my body would know, but still it would be awesome to be this tall and a size 6 Amy

hi guys i also am so close to my 1 year goal weight it is driving me crazy i am at 167 from 330.5 and wanted to get to 165 by my 1 year i might make it if i can get this scale to start moving again but if i dont i will get there i have the rest of my life to live and lose and be healthy and happy about myself ... hope you all are doing great michelle 10-06-03 330.5/167/165
