I DID IT ...OMG..OMG... now what?

 Hi everyone,
 
 Well I did it with 12 days left on my side..I lost 245lbs and went  froma size 32 to a 9 well Ok there a little tight but I will still wear them.
 
 This journey for me over the last year "my god a year' started with me wanting to get healthy and find my life again. Then it was about be in shape for  my family ,then it was for  who knows anymore but right now I say its about me looking good in a size 9 yes its all about that today........ Who care about tomorrow? Well it is tomorrow but you go the idea.  I only live for right now and my sister Jen was right its better for you.. I  use to wonder about the up coming week  and month ... I  dont even know what I am doing Monday. I know what i am not doing and that is standing around the food table.. Nothing there for me but certain death..
 
  OK so I go see my doc today 'friday' and he just can't belive it and either can I. Did i say i am in a size 9 !!!!!!!!!!!!!  He says you did it my friend and you stuck with it every day and min. It is the truth its what I lived and breathed for .... I had to keep my eyes on the price me being able to breath,walk,run,stand, take a bath, eat out
 
I was trapped in my body and I just knew  i had to get out or I would be dead..
 
Well guys I am out and I am single except all the super hot dates I go on.. Not out to eat I tell them lets go to the gym. Hey if they can se me walk,run and have no makeup on then they are in for treat after I am showered..I also get the working out done so kill 2 things at the same time...
 
 My doc was like where did you go? I said I am not sure but I am not looking for a vist any time soon.. I want to remember her always she was a good person and she helped me be the better person I am now..Not all of it is the weight but alot OK HELL 75 percent but the other 25 well she was a scared daughter,sister,anut,friend who was dying in a 400lb body  that was to affaried to be happy because being sad well that was easy I got to eatt cake and drink sodas and feel sorrry that I was fat...Heaven know I can't be happy because if I am the world is going to come crashing down...Nothing like that the world has really invited me in and said look you can do this stuff now..
 
 I love taking the merto into DC and shop...OK I also like to talk to the people in the subway..I do find them very intresting..Before this I think I only took it a hand ful of times..THey all know me on the redline now LOL.
 
 I say all  of these people have some kind of story to tell and I do try to find ou tthat stoy in 26 mins,If the story is good I will keep riding till they get off and i head back out...Only had a few of them an dI gave my number to 2 of them..
 
 Then I think I wonder if they want to know my story..So I will start of with Hi how are you? then right into the 230lbs in less then a year and know 245lbs OMG  OMG
 
they say no way,how was the surgey,or that's not you..  It sure is me..I make sure not to say it was me because she will be with for ever.. I am very proud of her that she loved me enough to let me  live and be happy in the body I was should have been in....
 
 Well now what I asked the Doc? he said what do oyu mean? i said well I lost the weight I am in good shape my heath is much better....He said yea you still have 20 to go  .. WHAT 20 more does it ever end and said no it never will and when you start to for get  that feeling you better watch out...
 
 So I am going to still set my goal to loose 20 before the end of the summer..
 
Having you guys and all the great letters I got from you guys thank you so much...
 
 I hope everyone here is doing well or at lease trying to do well.. I am going to a longer post I just need some sleep... am so happy I will write more latter.
 
Thanks
Deb

what we do from here on....

You asked what do you do now.  What we do from here on, or when we have finally reached our goal, is to continue to fight, never give up or in, and continue to love ourselves more than the damn food that was killing us.
 
Like you I have about 19 pounds to go. My 1 year weight loss journey was May 9th, and when I weighed in I had lost 123 pounds.  Never in my life had I felt more proud of myself as I did that day standing on those scales.  I knew that I did this, no one else helped me.  It was all me, and for the last year I have actually loved myself again.  It feels wonderful to find that true person inside again.
 
Good luck with your last 20 pounds.  I have given myself till my sons birthday, August 12 to lose it.  We will make it!  Stay in touch with me, and maybe we can kind of guide each other through the last 20.  I have always heard those last ones are the hardest.
 
Anyways, congratulations on your victory! You have done a wonderful job, and are such an inspiration to everyone!

Wow!

Kudos to you!    That is an amazing transformation you've made.

So now you continue to do all the things you've been doing.   You'll eat smart, and go to the gym, and occasionally indulge in a decadent dessert or special treat. 

I'm a little dumbfounded the doc is so bent on some "perfect weight".  Did he do body fat testing?   Can they do that at your gym?  BMI is good, but it is only part of the story.   Good luck to you in the final stage of this process...the rest of a long and healthy life!

You look gorgeous.

Congratulations! You've come such a long way and you look just fantastic. You had such a big goal to accomplish in one year. Your focus is inspiring. I hope you can gelp others to get to their goals just by hearing your story. I'm 20 pounds away from my goal also. I'm right there with you and giving myself until the end of summer as well. Have a great long weekend and enjoy every minute in those size 9 jeans!!!!!! :)
