Hello my fellow losers out there.

I got weighed last week at curves and i am down 92 pounds!! i am flabbergasted. i am just 8 pounds away from my first big goal(100 pounds).
after this announcement, i went out and got the first pair of 1X pants that have fit in YEARS! i am looking sooooo good:)

Wow, 100 lbs is your first big goal?!! Expectations kinda high, huh? lol !!!!

Congrats, you have reached and surpassed MANY goals already!

sammy18 10/09/2010

well, of course its big-but i still have a ways to go.
I was 358 the day of my surgery, so i was just like, yeah, i think in a few years I can get to 175. why not?
Figure that now with just this weight lost, i can walk w/o my back hurting, and I'm off half my prescriptions, i can get to my ultimate ultimate goal i mentioned above.
Gastric bypass has been the best thing to happen to me, and I'm only 19, so I can only get higher from here!:)

Great job! You'll be down 100 before you know it. I'm down 76 lbs and am like you, can't wait to hit that 100 mark. That's my first big goal too. I weighed 316 the day of my surgery.

i also eat good and not go overboard on my meals.
