Calling all April 2011 sleevers! Where are you now in your journey? Our 1 year mark is fast approaching. I must admit I've fallen into some bad habits for 2 months, but just recently have returned to my *correct* habits. It helped to come back to OH and log my food again. Carb monster is now back in his cage!

I'm here, too!   Kinda like Mom4Jazz - have reached goal and trying to learn about maintaining.  
BEST decision I EVER made - having VSG surgery!     Made such a huge difference on both myself and my DH who has lost ~80# without surgery.   
                
Highest weight, 248#
Surgery weight, 236#
Current weight, 138#

I am here too at goal but that darn carb monster just sucks. I need to keep a watchful eye on it. I am training for my half marathon and that does make me hungrier. Ran 7 miles in 1.18 hr on Sunday.

Wish I could say I'm at goal but I'm not oh well... I was even hoping I would be in the hundreds but I'm not :(  I guess life gets in the way just a little to much for me at this point.

Nice to see how the April folks are doing!

I am near goal.  My goal *was* 180, and I hit that, having lost 130 lbs.  But having hit that, I feel like I can go lower, and want to go lower, so I've reset my goal to 170 for now.  The loss is VERY slow at this point!  

Overall, I am so happy with where I am and the journey to get here.

My sleeve was done on April 26th...
I'm still about 20lbs from goal, but I should make it by my one year.
I had a lot to lose - (240lbs) so I'm pretty happy with the loss.

Hey all, You guys have done an awesome job!!!!!!

I have not hit my goal either and it is slowing down... I need to know what the secret is also!!  I really wanted to have met goal by my 1 year but I don't think that will happen.

 I have hit my doctors goal, as well as my goal.  I'm now trying to get down to my dream weight.  I am no longer in the "overweight" category, which is crazy!  I've been overweight since I was 8!

I work out a lot- 1 to 2 hours a day, 6 days a week. I eat 1000-1200 calories a day and around 100 grams protein.  I log everything I eat, and have only ate off plan I think 4 days since having surgery.  I am militant about always eating protein first at meals.

I love my sleeve, even though I still have my hunger :p
