9 months post - at goal!

Yesterday was 9 months and I met my goal! I have lost 121 lbs. and weigh 130 lbs. I haven't been able to exercise for the past 2 weeks, because of my bowel ob. surgery, so I am so surprised. I went to the surgeon for a check up from the emergency surgery (I wasn't supposed to see him again until 1 year out), he was really happy with my progress. He said there are people that start out at 400 lbs. and don't do as well as me in 9 mo. My husband had his 3 month check up at that time and has lost 76 lbs. That's crazy! He is looking really good. Oh, one more thing. I am starting a temp job next week and had to get a pair of pants, since I only have two others that I can wear to work. I bought a size 4! I also got my first pair of Victoria Secret panties yesterday. They are really cute. I put a new pic on the bottom of my profile if you want to see. Take Care! Marcia

How exciting!!! How tall are you? I met my surgeon's goal (140) but I've been stuck at 135 for the past 6 weeks. My own goal is 130, so we'll see... I LOVE wearing 4s, that's the most unreal feeling! I always thought that people that wore a size 4 were about 100 lbs! Congrats on making goal! Rebecca

Marcia - totally awesome It is so great that you are at goal and in a size 4. Keep us posted as to how to maintain it. Good Job Ann

WOW!!! Congratulations on meeting your goal!! That is fabulous news. And your photos, my dear, you look terrific. Victoria Secret panties indeed, good for you! I'm glad you are recovering from your surgery OK. Take care, Sheryl
