I did it. :)
Finally, 13 months after my surgery, I HAVE REACHED MY GOAL. Doctor Fancy Pants helped me set the original: 130 lbs to lose, total. As of this morning, I am down 136 lbs, weighing in at at healthy 154.
Granted, the last ten pounds came at a price - I passed out about 2 weeks ago, fell hard, busted a nasty hole in me head, then ruptured my left eardrum. So 9 days in the hospital with NO appetite played a HUGE part in the last few pounds finally bidding me adieu. But I'll take it!
Thanks, as always, for the amazing support and advice I find on this forum - I could not have done this alone.
Looking forward to the next chapter,
Katie

Congratulations, Kate - very excited for you! I hit my goal after getting a nasty bout of intestinal flu that lasted about a week. But who cares, right? We get there however we need to 
Enjoy your success!
