    Hi Tomigyrl! It's been a year, and all is well. How's your journey? I'm down to 148...8 lbs shy of my goal weight of 140. I've lost tons of inches though, and am happy at this point. There were struggles as I am a slow loser and tended to get depressed about it,but once I stopped getting on the scale everyday everything was better. I hope to hear from you, and pray that all is well.

    You'll be at goal before you can imagine. Honestly, I think the real work isn't the losing weight or even getting in shape -- but the changes we experience and work on mentally to think of ourselves so differently than we once did.

    I know you were already so physically active. I was not, because I simply was not able to do so. And now I think of myself and my "lifestyle" so differently than I did a year ago. I'm no longer "handicapped." I'm just normal, with all the opportunities, abilities and responsibilities that go along with that.

    So many changes! Sometimes my head still reels.

    Whoa, Tomi! I don't think I'd ever seen a real before shot of you. The differences are so stark. Congratulations. You're doing so great.

    Thanks tomigyrl! I will check in, and I'm really proud of all that you do! I am also 5'2", and tend to be more firm/muscular....I've never been "jiggly (no offense to anyone)...so therefore no one really knew how much I weighed!
    No one knows I've had surgery except my daughter, but people are starting to notice the lbs and inches I'm losing and making comments.....some appropriate and some not. Overall, I'm happy. You take care!

    Hi Tomigyrl,

    I just saw your response to Jurgen....and as I always do when reading anything on this site, I checked your surgical date and weight loss.....And Well!

    My surgery was the day before yours,( I was only 4 or 5 lbs lighter) but you have lost so much more than me. Now don't get me wrong...I'm not in a tailspin... but I seem to be a VERY slow loser, and I don't know what I'm doing wrong (or IF i'm doing anything wrong). Would you mind letting me in on your daily meals, caloric intake, exercise regime, etc? I have lost 28lbs so far.... and I'm kinda ok with that. But if I'm doing something wrong, I want to know sooner rather than later! Thanks for any and all guidance!
