It's been 2 years

Thank you for sharing your story

Its great to hear from people like you who have successfully kept their weight off for a period of time. i know of course you will continue and continue to keep your weight off forever

Glad you found this board - sooner than later - as in our sleeve too

sleevers will also be just as successful as you - we must be optimistic and the weight loss will be permanent, it will happen.

My DH will tell will me his favorite quote from Star Trek

Do or Do not

There is no Try

continued success

best

I found that it was diffcult from time to time I am at my goal weight Of 118. I am 51years old and I wasn't sure I'd get here I laughed when they gave me the goal weight That was what I weighed when grad hs get to it. Was a journey but the best thing so far is when I joined kettle bell class it works everything. I have been it it for 6. Months and have toned lose skin. I toned 15 inches now as far as I eat it is not much I start with Protein always and I from time to time. Drink a Protein Shake I know everyone get tired of them but to keep protien up I will from time to time. Thanks y'all for words of kindness they are appreciated.

Congratulations on your loss, and definitely thanks for checking in at 2 years. I think it's nice for everyone to hear from long-time sleevers, whether or not you've stayed at your goal weight, just to get a reality check about living the long-term sleeve life. :-) Glad to hear you're doing so well.
