Hit my goal today! / Gig Harbor Support Group!

I just had to post and tell everyone that TODAY I HIT MY GOAL OF 145 POUNDS!  I am so excited and GRATEFUL to GOD, my doctors, my family, all my supportive friends.  I am overwhelmed.  I am writing a note to Drs. Oh and Hirai and putting it in the mail right now to tell them how blessed and grateful I am.   I'm not "done" by any means....are any of us ever really "done" on the road to living healthy?  But I just wanted to encourage everyone out there to keep going, never give up and to keep using these fabulous tools, whether lap band or bypass, etc......it WILL HAPPEN FOR YOU if you CONTINUE no matter what your "failure" today or yesterday or tomorrow.....just keep putting one foot in front of the other and stay on the road........Can I hear an "AMEN"?!!! ALSO!  Just a reminder!  Our Gig Harbor WLS Support Group meets EVERY Thursday at Borders Books in the Cafe from 6:30 to 8:00-ish pm.  Come on over!  We'd LOVE to meet you!   4601 Point Fosdick Dr. NW  Gig Harbor, WA  98335  253-265-2276 for info. LOVE! Merrillee

I am sooooooooo proud of you. I can hardly wait till goal only 25lbs away.

Amen!! Congratulations on all of your sucess!!  I think you have the key to.  Sucess starts with the next bite of food you put in your mouth.  Just because you had a off track lunch does not mean that you need to cop out on the rest of your day!  We have to learn to get over it, forgive ourselves and make the next meal one that is healthy for our bodies. Have a wonderful day!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!  What a wonderful day for you!!!  And you're right - this is a continual path we're on to living healthy...  :)  I'm within 20-25 pounds of my goal so you are definitely an inspiration!!  I'd love to join the Gig Harbor support group, but I have a water aerobics class Thursday evening, too, so I don't get a chance to get over there.  Maybe one of these days I will.  Again, congratulations on hitting your goal and keep up the great work!! Hugs...

Congrats to you on hitting GOAL, that is awesome!!!
