[kenni 39]

What are your goals? I started at 299.8 and I'm currently 226.2 :-D I'm so close to wonderland currently I'm a size 16. When I can taste the sweetness of wonderland I will treat myself for a full body massage and a ride at six flag magic mountain

Congrats!!! That is quite the loss!

A full body massage and trip to six flags sounds like an awesome reward for reaching Onederland.

I'm 23 and also love rocking my sleeve My goal now is to tone up!

My first goal is to join a gym (will do on June 1).

Next goal - When I get into the 160's I'm getting a pedicure.

Final goal - After I reach goal I'd like a face and breast lift!

To be honest it has made my life EASIER than when I was overweight! I made sure all of my friends knew that I did have it done, so that way they would understand why I choose not to eat junk food. When we are out I try and make the healthiest choices of food. When we have family/friend parties I will have a margarita or even wine and it doesn't bother me. Again drinking alcohol is not frequent for me. I'm so lucky to have been able to have the surgery when I was 18. These are the years I want to be healthy and live my life.

Simple things like shopping, or going to an amusement park, or even the movies seems so much easier because I can actually fit in the seats, and fit into clothes!

Almost being 5months out its easier now that I have learned to readjust myself socially. But at the beginning was very hard because my friends and family didn't understand that I couldn't eat the same fatty unhealthy foods like before. I eat before going out, i kept a protien bar in my bag, always have a Water bottle with you, or try for crystal lite they have different flavors incase u get tried of plain Water.< /p>

Take control When I go to parties I serve myself because I want to have control what and how much I put in my plate.

The most important thing is aways plan ahead and make the people around understand what u going through.

One more thing congratulations :-D practice some of these tips now so when the time comes it wouldnt hit u as a surprise good luck
