Woohoo!!!!!! Century Club...FINALLY!!!!!

Wow...I was starting to think I would never get here, but this morning the scale said 182 for a total of -100 pounds and -15 inches off my waist!!!! I'm so excited and thrilled to be where I'm at which is about 20-25 pounds from goal and then I'd like to maintain for at least a year and have plastics. I hope to be able to lose the other 20-25 in the next 6 months or so. My loss seemed so slow compared to others and I have to admit, about a month ago I was getting very discouraged because the scale hadn't been moving in a month or so. I received a lot of encouragement and support from people on this site, I love you guys! I re-committed myself to my goals and went back to basics and the pounds started coming off again. My one year followup with my surgeon was 10/19 and he was ecstatic with my results...that was also very encouraging. My labwork was excellent too. I just want to say congratulations to everyone who had the courage to make the life changing decision to have this surgery. By no means has it been the "easy" way out, but I would do it again in a heartbeat. May we all reach our goals! ~Stacy Lap RNY 10/11/2004 282/182/155

Congrats!!! That is such an awsome feeling isn't it??? I had my surgery on 10/20/04 and just celebrated my 1 year as well. I am down about 125 to 128 pounds. I have been going back and forth for the past couple of weeks. My goal was to have lost 130 by my 1 year date even though I didn't make it I am very happy with the weight I have lost. Keep up the great work and your wedding day you looked beautiful! I love the dress! Best of luck in your journey! Barb, Monroe, MI 10/20/04 275/148/145

Congrats to you as well! It is a great feeling! I wish you continued success! Thanks! ~Stacy
