Well 13 months after starting my wt loss journey and 6.5 months post VSG I am down 100#. Made it yesterday but wanted to see it 2 days in a row before I got all boastful 😉. I turned 50 two weeks ago and several people have asked me how it feels, I had to tell them I think 50 is the new 35. I feel better than I have in years. Thanks for all the excellent advice and support you all give! You are so very appreciated!

What an up-beat message. I am so happy for you and your weight loss. Yes, I think 50 is the new 35! I remember turning 50 and how free and empowered I felt - like burdens of the past were gone and the future was bright before me! (I went back to school when I turned 50.)
I bet that turning 50 combined with the weight loss must feel great!
Happy Birthday.

Major Congratulations!
I can't imagine how great you must feel mentally & physically. I have lost over 50 lbs during my pre-op period & feel fantastic! So another 50? Can't wrap my head around it!
I am late 50's which I consider to be the new 38! Lot of us youngsters running around!
Keep up the good work!
