Goal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Catherine55 43]

I almost could not believe my eyes this morning!!! I finally hit my goal!! It took 15 months, a lot of diligence on food choices (without giving up any favorites or wine. . ), and plenty of time at the gym, but I'm finally here!!

When I started this process at 230 pounds and a BMI of 37, I had high hopes for what the band would help me do, but it was always really hard to imagine that I'd truly be able to be a "normal" sized person again and to meet my goal. Lo and behold, it absolutely was possible, and it is for everyone else who is working this process!! :smile2:

Just wanted to share the good news with you!!

With best wishes,

Catherine
