Made it to goal today!
A little over 9 months post op and the scale read 150 today. That's always been my goal and my surgeon was fine with it, though ideally I think 140's would be ok for me too :) Now the hard part begins. I know I'm still considered a newbie, but don't count me out. I've got this. I have a completely different life than I had 9 months ago. One filled with fitness and clean eating (even my 2 teenagers have lost 12 and 15 lbs each). The struggle will always be there, but I'm mindful and focused.

WHOO HOOOOO LANIE! Congratulations!!!!!
You totally look like a teenager now so I agree, you can't possibly be a mother of teenagers.
Thanks for all the support to the newer newbies (like me) and for the inspiration too. I agree, you have this - go keep it.
