One Year Anniversary

One year ago I was getting ready for surgery at this time.  It has been the best thing I have ever done in my life(Other than DH & kids).

In one year I have had so many accomplishments and feel so much better.  Diabetes gone no more medicine.  CPAP gone.  Hopefully after weight loss stops I can get rid of the cholesterol meds.  100 pounds lost.  I feel better than I have in years.  I have more energy to play with my granddaughters.  I can go outside without feeling like I am dying from the heat.  

Now I am getting the dreaded "you've lost enough" from almost everyone and I still have 20-25 to get to my personal goal and be a normal weight.

I really need to get back on the exercise wagon.  I do have some skin issues, but they are covered with my clothes and I'll probably just live with it since I'm almost 56.  

My one year surgeon's appointment in Thursday afternoon.  I can't wait to see how my labs are - I'll post them after I get my copy.

Thanks to everyone here that has helped me over the last year!!  I couldn't have done it without your help, ideas and advise.

I'm going to get DH to do pictures tonight and I'll post them later.

Congrats....Tell 'um you've stopped loosing and just mainting...then do what you want.  It is none of their business (even if they do mean well).  Good luck.
