    Default Goal

    Much to my surprise, I hit goal this morning!* I am 2 weeks short of 6 months post-sleeve.

    So 130 lbs, 22.5 BMI.**

    My health is so much better; so grateful for each of you and all your support!
    [I]HW: 240 lbs SW: 199 lbs GW: 140 lbs

    1 MO = 167.0 2 MO = 156.4 3 MO = 148.4 4 MO = 140.6
    5 M) = 136.0 6 MO = 130.0
    1 YR = 122.0 2 YR = 140.00 2.5 YR = 139
    Happy with my weight; happy with my size; over-the-moon with my health!

    Good heavens, Annie! You did that incredibly fast.

    Get ready to figure out maintenance. It's interesting, scary, fun, confusing, instructive, and pretty much everything else.

    Best of all, it's possible!

    Well not quite 6 months, so yes, fast. I think its a combination of VGS, healthy eating and reducing medication. And maintenance sounds terrifying -- but I shall be in the best of hands!

    First of all WOW!!!!! So incredibly proud of you. You totally used your sleeve to the max!

    Second I'm right there with you of trying to figure out the whole maintenance thing. I thought I was there but I've lost a few more pounds here and there so be ready for that too. Our bodies will let us know when they are done I guess. I have faith we will be successful in the rest of our journey!

    We can do the this! I'm feeling better with the gummy vitamins, and I haven't gone more than 900 calories, because it hasn't been 6 months since sleeve. The long timers here do say it finds a place and settles... I have bones I don't think I knew was there!
