JINIFER 14 Posted June 4, 2013 I never thought I would be able to say I weigh 160 lbs!! It took me 2 yrs and 1 week but I made it. I started at 272 lbs on May 27th 2011. It has been a rough road at times but I did it! I have found a person inside me that I didnt even know existed. In the last year I have moved 900 miles and started a new life in my hometown after being away for 16 years. I would have never had the courage or self confidence to have done that before lapband. I am so excited to see whats next! 14 sherrintxs, Luckyaka, can_do and 11 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

B-52 7,113 Posted June 4, 2013 First...Congratulations on your success..... Are you 1 pound away from YOUR Goal? I had personal goals also...they all came and went.... I found that since this is new lifestyle and not a diet where you can start and stop, the body will continue to loose untill it reaches that place that is normal and healthy for you....then it will simply stop....providing you keep your Protein at normal levels.... 1 stept04 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
