Maria!

You have to be so proud of yourself!!  How amazing is that? 

Thanks for the wonderful comments!

Congrats Jenn how terrific!!!!!!-  I almost feel the same as you did.  Myself starting at 345lbs I would be happy to reach 245lbs- my doctor has set my goal for 150 which honestly I am not sure if it will ever happen!!!!  Seeing your results and accomplishments make it seem that possibly it CAN happen- of course only with hard work and diligence!!!!!!  You are my inspiration.

Jennie,

I know it seems hard to believe now, but with hard work and perseverence, this will happen for you as well.  Don't let the doctor's number scare you.  You do what feels right for you.  My surgeon didn't give me a weight, I chose it myself because that's where I knew I felt good.  I feel so good at this weight, that I'm gunning for 165.  The surgeon told me at my 1 year appointment that because I had done so well in my second 6 months, I should easily be able to reach 165 if I continue to follow the program I had been.

You are going to do great!  Please use this board to ask any questions you may have.  It's a great place to get info.

Jenn, Maria and Carolyn,

All three of you are wonderful inspriations.

Congrats to all.

Thanks, Pam!! 

Jenn, your hard work has certainly paid off.  You are definitely an inspiration to us newbies!

Well, look at how great you are doing already!!  Congratulations to you!!  It gets better and better every day.

Heh baby (said in a Bevis and Butthead voice) you're the hottest overweight broad I've ever seen!!

As always, you inspire us.  And you get points for having nicely pedi'd toes.  That's what's important.  Congrats!

Hehe, Brenda, you made me snort! 

Thank you for the kind words.  I know your road has been a little tougher than mine, but you still stick with it.  We are lucky to have you as you seem to bring a side to WLS that some easily forget.

Hey Jenn...I'm being totally serious when I tell you that you were my inspiration at the gym tonight!

I was on that dumb elliptical machine and my legs hurt so bad I wanted to stop after 10 minutes.  But I turned up my music and thought of your cute tootsies (I don't have a foot fetish, I promise) and that gorgeous number on the scale.  It kept me going for another 18 minutes.  Not a lot, I know, but at least I didn't quit after 10!

Thanks for sharing and for always throwing a "back atcha" to me.
