NtvTxn 1,262 Posted October 19, 2010 I'm 3.5 lbs from my surgeon's goal and my BMI is 24.8!!!! Finally a healthy BMI!!! Even more exciting, I'm wearing a size 8 jeans for the first time since my teens. Not too bad for fifty-one! I love my sleeve! I just wanted to share accomplishment this with all my fellow sleevers!

Tiffykins 673 Posted October 27, 2010 YAY YAY Chickee, I never doubted for a moment that you wouldn't make it ! ! ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NtvTxn 1,262 Posted October 31, 2010 Well done!! This is great news.... I've been slacking a bit as we've been away for most of the last couple of months so my eating has been erratic.. but I hope to be catching you up very soon!! My sleeve sister!! I was wondering where you've been!! I knew y'all had been traveling a little. I cannot believe I'm almost there. Actually, as of this morning, I'm only 1.5 lbs from my surgeon's goal. I guess that is what I should change my 'goal' to and then go from there, anything after that is icing on the cake....MY real goal was to wear a size 8 and I'm doing that!! Such vanity!! LOL You'll catch up very soon, but it's a way of life, not a race to the finish line! Enjoy the journey!! Keep me posted!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LOL You'll catch up very soon, but it's a way of life, not a race to the finish line! Enjoy the journey!! Keep me posted!! We took some time out and went up to France for a couple of weeks....and then had family over for a few days, but now have an empty house again ( and a mountain of washing!!). I'm not up to date with the posts yet so suspect you may have hit your target by now.... but you're doing great!! My sister in law was amazed at my weight loss....and although I think I may be able to lose a little quicker, I'm happy taking the scenic route - gives me a chance to try and let my body catch up with me!! And as for your size 8?? - amazing!! Well done!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
