One Year (and One Week)!

So officially last Tuesay, June 16th I marked my one year anniversary of VSG surgery. I tell you that it really has taken a whole week to kind of process it. I am very pleased with my results and still expect more from myself. Right after surgery I put myself on a three year plan. Knowing I had so much weight to lose and hearing that for my surgery that 60% of excess weight loss was considered success didnt sit right with me. I want the whole 100% gone and staying gone. So I started on the say of surgery with a weight of 465. My one year goal was to be 333. A loss of 47%. Well I was 302 last tuesday and 300 today, which brings my loss to 59%!!! My year two goal is to lose 84 more pounds. Year three, the last 52. So now I have more wiggle room and that is a realistic goal for me. I hear the compliments but nothing is as powerful as visual evidence. I never want to forget where I started my journey.
