One year anniversary and 130 pounds down

[LapNYC 3]

From the beginning I told myself that my only "me me me" posts would occur 1) when I hit onederland and 2) at the one year mark. So, here I am! There have been high highs and low lows, but getting this band was the best decisions I've ever made. I work hard, especially in the gym, but there's no way I could have found this success on my own. Not a chance. Now that I'm at goal (excepting those last pesky .2 pounds), the next steps are a consult with a plastic surgeon about a Tummy Tuck (necessary) and boobs (a question mark) and to start lifting weights for my lower body (I do upper four times a week and look like a body builder on top and like my Mom on the bottom). After that, I guess it's just...life! I fear maintenance because I tend to more of an all or nothing person, but logically speaking, this should be the "easy" part. No point to this post really. I just needed to commemorate the day. Thanks for listening!

Wow way to go! I want to do 120 in a year so knowing it can be done is a HUGE help. Congratulations!!! and good luck with whatever surgeries you may decide to do.

Congrats!! You have come a long way. Yes, I am,also, in maintenance. I will say, it is not something that I am comfortable with, just take it one day at a time. I just watch 1-2 up/down. My surgeon had told me a long time ago, that women tend to do better than most men. Men will let themselves go to about 15 lbs, but woman will stop themselves at about 5 lbs gain. Good luck. Amazing job you have done. Karen(kll72)

Nothing short of amazing! Great loss in just a year. I can't wait until May; I'll hopefully be well at my goal. Great job and you'll do fine in maintenance!
