I did it....I've reached my personal goal of 135lbs....that's a total of 111lbs. lost!  I actually hit it last week but didn't want to post about it until I was sure it would "stick".  When I had my surgery last January, I didn't really think I would ever see this day....I had hoped, but honestly didn't believe it would happen.  I've proven myself wrong and I'm 100% healthier today than I've ever been in my life.  I bought a dress the other day for my brother's wedding...a size 6!  I have to buy my pants in the juniors section because the women's are too big for me and I'm wearing a size 4/6 in tops.  I don't remember ever being this size, except in grade school maybe. I just wanted to share my triumph with everyone.  For those of you still working toward your goal, keep it up!  It will happen to you too!  Just keep believing in yourselves.  Hope everyone has a great weekend, we're supposed to have sunny skies and NO RAIN! A HUGE THANK YOU to everyone for all your support and advice, I couldn't have done this without you!

Denise, that is so wonderful. Congratulations. I know you have to be so proud of yourself. All the hard work paid off. You're going to look so great in that size 6 dress at the wedding. I'm just starting the journey, but you give me so much inspiration. Thank you.

Your post gives me hope. I often wonder myself if I can ever make it to goal. But I need to just stay positive and know that it is possible.
