Huge goal reached yesterday!

congratulations. . that's really awesome! 

Thanks to everyone for the kind words.  You ALL inspire me!  

Cat....I couldn't believe I could get into a size 10?!?!.... me a 10?  Even as a teenager I don't remember wearing a 10. I seemed to have skipped those sizes.  I should try on my favorite pair of jeans I was soooooo excited to fit into a couple months back. I haven't worn them since it's been Capri weather. Could be interesting. 

I love this post! Your starting weight is near mine, and so I can only hope I will have the same successes as you have! Its amazing how much life can change in such a short time!! Keep going girl! I'll be watching your successes from the sidelines. Congrats!

Thank you so much! 

As of today I'm down 70 pounds!! I'm so excited! 

Good luck to you.  Do you have a date?

Not yet!  Just started the journey not too long ago, but it seems to be moving at a decent speed. Until then, I am just soaking up all the info on these boards! 

Thank you!

I too joined these boards a few months before surgery. There is some great info here. I learnt alot. I also joined some Facebook groups some were ok and others quite scary lol. I wasn't too long leaving those ones haha. I didn't need the negativity in my life. I belong to 2 Ontario groups now and the members there are awesome. Very small groups but it's nice that way. Lots of knowledge there as well. 

Take this time to research everything there is to know. 

Good luck and feel free to message me anytime!

Huge congrats to you! Your hard work is really paying off, you're a total inspiration.

Thank you so much. It's an amazing feeling. Have you had surgery yet?

I bet! My RNY is scheduled for August 18th. 

Wow,  so close!! Good for you!

Won't be long now and you'll be starting your opti. It really isn't that bad. I actually enjoyed the vanilla with orange pineapple banana crystal light and.ice mixed up in my ninja master!!  Loved it actually lol. I missed it after surgery lol. Chocolate....not so much :-/ I was on for 2 weeks. Was never hungry and I didn't go through the headaches some get. However,  for the first 3 days I wasn't able to leave the house as I had to make some mad dashes to the ladies room lol. After that it was smooth sailing :-P

Good luck and feel free to message me anytime!
