I just wanted to wish u all a HAPPY THANKSGIVING.  The holidays are among us.  Its time for us to really think about what we are putting in our mouths with every bite.  

HAPPY TURKEY DAY

Happy Re-Birthday to all of us!! I'm so proud of all of us, we have all come a long way!! Mine: Surgery July, 28, 2008 Start 242 lbs Today: 138 lbls would like to loose 5 more pounds to be back at my lowest wieght. Had TT and muscle tightening on July 31, 2008!! I'm sore today but I'm so excited for how far I've come!! Congratulations to us all!!!

Surgery was July 28, 2006, so I'm at my 2 year mark. I weighed 245 when I started my ourney and today I sit at 153 pounds. So, 92 pounds lost so far. My goal is 125 before I have a tummy tuck and breast lift next July -- we're overseas in Japan and we are using this year to save up the money. So I have a year to lose 28 pounds more. Hubby was gone to Guantanamo Bay for 14 months last year and so I just maintained mostly, with a slight up and down of ten pounds. Now that we are back together and exploring Japan, I'm doing a lot better! I've lost 5 pounds since we arrived. In all honesty, I stand 4' 11.5" tall and I know I look chunky to people who have no clue that I was morbidly obese for over 17 years. But I feel so great! Even if I didn't lose any more weight, I'd still have the plastics done next year and I'd feel absolutely fantastic! This gastric bypass was such a gift to me. I'd do it again in a heart beat. Especially knowing how its helping me keep the weight off. I needed it and STILL need the restriction. I'm so glad I asked for help and that I got it.

Congratulations! Another success story . . . I love it! I agree about this being an amazing gift. I work hard not to screw this up. Just recently, I noticed my weight was up 2 pounds and I've worked to get it off (which I have thankfully). I'm not willing to gain my weight back and hope I always feel this way.
