WoooHooo This is major, your are starting to hit the major milestones in this journey; onderland, goal, plastics then maintenance....how absolutley exciting. (actually I bet you have lost in the neighborhood of 88% of your excess weight already, hard to tell until you settle on a goal weight) Of course your commitment and the sleeve played a big role in this recovery too but I am very curious, because of this awesome tool and the others you have picked up, which was harder; losing all this weight or earning your law degree? I am going out on a limb to guess that as a result of the sleeve, it was the latter and yet the former can be a lifetime battle that is so unobtainable for so many, without these tools.

Without a doubt, losing weight - Id spend the rest of my life earning a degree if I could skip all this weight loss and weight issue BS. See with school - I could "take a break", check out, take a vacation, do the bare minimum and get by. This WL crap is every minute of every day for me - there really are no "breaks" - sure I could cheat from time to time, but then there's the guilt and all of that.

Acbbrown, you've left me completely speechless. All I can say is wow. You've physically "lost yourself" and probably mentally/emotionally "found yourself" in less than a year!

Its just absolutely crazy that with dedication and hard work you can accomplish so much. Congratulations. :)
