I love it! I wish I could bottle this feeling up and keep it for the future years when that motivation and excitement is sure to wane.

Thanks for your support!

Great job. aren't you so glad you did this??!!!!! bet you hit that dream number any minute. and you may drop below until you figure out your ideal maintenance calories. whatever weight you decide on, take a moment to really revel in your success. its important to recognize in your own mind how significant this is as you have probably failed at a few diets before. Not this time. This is for life so enjoy it big time!!! Diane

For real! So glad I did this! My list of previous diets and weight loss attempts was the longest my surgeon had ever seen. Oops. Too bad none of them helped me keep it off.

Love my sleeve!!

Yah!

WTG !!!

You got this !!!

I went lower and so glad I did......With my surgeon....we went from 180lbs. initial goal weight to 160lbs. 5lbs. at a time....and I was all good....than I asked him about another 10lbs. for cushion as I was already in down and dirty WL mode.........he said go for it, that I had room for another 10...... next appointment I weigh in at 148lbs. and he says "Stop......Perfection!" now hold that weight for a year...... First time a doctor ever told me anything but lose weight! and the word perfect isn't usually directed at me!

This is very interesting to me... wonder if I will do something similar or not. I know my surgeon wont' push me below 145 because his ultimate ideal weight for me is 147... doesn't mean I can't push myself lower.

I'm dying to buy a new wardrobe now... got a little excited 6 pounds ago, bought a bunch of stuff... already too big now. So with a few more pounds to go, I better just sit tight. And even then, I may not want to go crazy because what if I decide to drop lower like you did.... or what if I drop lower without trying like Mom4Jazz... lots to think about I guess.

Never... NEVER been successful with maintenance before, so I'm petrified. But that's why you peeps are so awesome... here to help me through it.

It is! & I'm also dialing back my personal goal by another 10lbs, then will see about possibly entering maintenance.. but I remember when I first had surgery having doubts that I'd even make it this far.. Very happy!

I have these moments sometimes where I think I'm dreaming and this isn't real. But it is!!!!
