Made a milestone!

I hit a major milestone today; my weight dropped below the 180s. Yippee! I weigh 179.5. My weight loss has slowed tremendously as I have approached my personal goal of 165; honestly, at this point, if I can just keep off what I have lost, I would be thrilled. I am getting close to another milestone, reaching a BMI of 25. Right now my BMI is 25.8, so I'm getting really close to "normal". This from a person who had a BMI of 43 just over a year ago! It's nothing short of miraculous. I could not have done this without WLS, and I only wish WLS had been available to my dear aunt who died of health problems related to obesity. We are so fortunate to live in a time when this is available to us! I know that not all of us are nearing our goal weight at this point - to all of you with more weight still to lose, keep up the good work! I'm with you all the way! We all have so much to celebrate!

Congrats on you Milestone. You look marvelous. Keep up the great work. Wish I had this done before my wedding 6yrs ago. I'm sure your Aunt is looking down from above and smiling because you are doing something that as you said wasn't available to her. Keep it up. Hope you reach goal real soon. Lisa J. in Mass

Congratulations on hitting a major milestone. Those come more slowly the further out we get from our surgery dates, so celebrate, celebrate, celebrate! Kellie (who still has a long way to go, but is happy with her journey) 396/247/155-165?
