Talking I made my first goal!
Hi everyone!
I just wanted to report that I made my first goal of weighing less than 200 pounds! I weighed myself today and I'm at 198! I've lost 41 pounds! Yippee! I know my "I'll wear them again" clothes are fitting again and I'm getting a lot of compliments from people at work. I feel GREAT!
Thanks to all of you for your continued support!

That is sooo awesome! I can not wait to feel that way. I am still waiting for an approval just for the consultation. Hope it will be soon, I am tired of waiting!

Don't worry. You will get there. My husband just got the approval for his initial consult and has his appointment on 10/5 for the initial visit. This process takes a lot of patience, but you will get there soon! Congratulations on making this decision. It's a wonderful thing!

Default Irela,
Rock on Sista! That's my goal, to be below 200, haven't seen that in many years (consistantly, you all know what I mean). I hope you'll celebrate this successful accomplishment in a BIG way!

You're avatar/picture is beautiful.

Those milestones are fantastic! Baby steps.... next you 'll want to be out of the 190's, then 180's etc.... Im still stuck in the 180's... but according to Dr. C I guess I should get comfortable there, as I am pretty much done.... maybe when I loose the skin, I'll be in the 180's... you'll be there in no time. Keep up the great work!

"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."
