| Don't worry Yenken, you'll get there! And yes, I did lose it quick. I lost a significant amount 2 weeks pre-op and 2 months post-op. The last 25 lbs were tough but I was determined.

| Wow! Carol... truly amazing! CONGRATULATIONS! 11 mo? Way to go!
And, if I remember correctly, you own/operate a restaurant? Your will power must be legendary :)
Do you have anything fun planned to mark the occasion? Treat yourself!
I'm hammering away at my last 30 lbs to goal, I signed up for some sessions with a trainer at a neighborhood fitness center that will open next month. I'm excited about it, it's given me something to look forward to. By my 2 yr anniversary in Oct I plan to be toned and svelte!

State: ky | Carol,
I got chills reading your post. I am so happy for you. I know you have reallly felt better for months now. I felt good about myself for at least 2 months before I reached my magic number.

| Karla: exercise was key to fast and successful weight loss for me.....and keeping on top of my fills. As soon as I noticed that I could consume more than usual I marched right back to the clinic for another .5 or 1 cc fill....this kept me losing on a regular basis.
And yes, everything is different. I feel like a very different person....in a very positive way.
I haven't planned anything to "reward" myself. LOL.....all along the way I set mini goals for myself and rewarded myself for each one reached.....now, its just kinda old hat and not so exciting....LOL
However, I have learned one thing.....it totally defeats the purpose of everything we are doing and everything we are learning about adapting to a new healthier lifestyle.....so, I refuse to reward myself with food.
My biggest reward is my size 8 jeans......and having my husband compliment on how great my ass looks in them.

City: Winter Haven State: FL | Wow! :clap2: I am so excited for you! I can't believe you hit goal. It gives me some inspiration. My one year was in April and as you can see I haven't done so well. Are there any tips or advise you could give to the rest of us that are still struggling?
