I just wanted to let you all know that I accomplished my dream and made my goal today. I went into surgery September 22, 2003 with the goal to be 135 in a year.
I weighed today and I weigh 134 (I am 5"6-1/2" tall).
I feel so good.
You can all get to your goals. Don't give up and stay the course. You'll accomplish getting to your goals if you really want it to happen.

What Sawyer would call me on LOST: ladybug

"People will argue with you that getting what you want in life isn’t something you can learn, if you’re destined to be one of the worlds winners as opposed to one of its perpetual whiners, its because you have been born with the right talents and temperament and have a big dose of self-esteem, ambition, and good judgment." Kate White

I was so happy when I hit goal. It was one of the greatest achievements of my life. My weight was the one thing I couldn't get a handle on. Reaching that goal showed me that I can reach any goal! I was at goal for about 3 weeks before I found out I was pregnant, so I am at goal +3 preg pounds . Once again congratulations on the good work!
