The first milestone for me was getting under 300. Now I'm down 100 pounds from surgery, 116 since starting the process and over 145 from my all time high 4 years ago. Another 10 pounds and I'll be under 200. Can't wait! I was really hoping to be 100 down in 6 months, but it took 7.5. Oh well, still a great accomplishment. I'm currently a size 18, feels like I've been stuck in that size forever. I have my goal set at 180, but I think I may want to go lower. Would like to end up around a size 12 or so.

Am so grateful for OH and in particular the MN board where everyone is so supportive. Without OH I wouldn't have known that there are Saturday coffee gatherings, which I really enjoy.

So, thanks ALL for your posts of encouragement, sharing your WOWs, being supportive and sometimes just silly. You guys are GREAT!

Edited Thursday to add - Thank you for all you replied. Am too lazy to reply individually. But I appreciate it!

You have hit so many milestones, Kristy. Many that you don't even see yourself. I have seen you go from a rather shy woman to one of the most positive, upbeat, supportive people on OH. A huge YAY to you.

Congrats on hitting yet another milestone. And keep reaching for the sky. Because YOU CAN DO IT!

Absolutely beautiful!
