I am officially at my GOAL WEIGHT!

[Maryb]

I have decided that my GOAL WEIGHT is 140 pounds and I don't want to lose more weight!

Why you ask... Because I am wearing the smallest size Levis that Kohl's carries. NSV Size 4. My top size is still a size 10 and has not budged down any in the last 20 pounds. I can't afford to lose any more weight on the lower part of my body! Yes, Tummy tuck is in my future (I want to look like Telly).

I will get DH to take my GOAL WEIGHT pictures AKA Pre PS pictures.

I still have to do a double take in the mirror because I can't believe that is me. My mental state has improved. I seem to be getting use to the new me and getting use to not feeding my emotional moods. The support group of B2g has helped tremendously. I know my battle is not over and maintaining will be the true test of time. I will need you guys forever!

LOVE YOU ALL!

Hey Mary! I just saw you mention that you were at goal weight on another thread and I was about to PM you a big congrats, but this is better! You absolutely rock, woman!! I'm thrilled for you! A size FOUR! Oh My Gawd! How awesome that must feel!!!

You look fantastic and youre success has been such a big motivator for me! Cant wait to see the PS pics. Are you just having a TT or are you going shopping for some new bewbies too? :)

[Maryb]

I have to see the PS Doc before deciding what all to do...but my Boobs actually look pretty good now...the girls actually point in the right direction now. What I don't like is the skin that hangs over the top and bottom of my bra on my back! I don't know what they can do about that.

Dearest Mary Quite Contrary,

OK, I admit *with grinding teeth* you HAVE done a pretty good job with this lap-band thing...
Even though your skinny little *size 4* ass makes me want to PB my granola bar up. :D :D :D



(((((((hugs))))))

BTW: Attaining "Goal" weight earns you a B2G }}}MEGA{{{ Margarita! ;)

[EmileeKaye]

WOW!! Great job! And I have seen some pics, I had already thought you were at goal too! A size 4? Wowzers!

I can't imagine a day getting on a scale and seeing "goal".

[Maryb]

Congratulations Mary! How exciting! How long has it taken you?

Thank you!
I was Banded March 14, 2006, 8 months to lose weight.

What a nice discovery after your cruise. Congratulations!!!

I think they make a cut at the back of your neck to pull up the back.

Mary, you are an inspiration to us all.

Believe me I never in my wildest dreams thought my butt would fit in a size 4! Jusy 8 months ago I was wearing my size 20 Lane Bryant Cords!

I honstly thought there had been a mistake in sizes or something. I even brought them home and washed and dried them before wearing them because I thought it wasn't possible... maybe one pair, maybe two pairs, but three pairs size 4 Levis washed has to be reality and not a fantasy!


I would love a MEGA Margarita! I have been pretty tight since flying back from my 2 weeks vacation. I think it is my punishment for eating ice cream for supper.

Way to go Mary, you're positively tiny!

Did you know that back fat can often be successfully eliminated by going down a back size in your bra (and probably up a cup size). When your bra sits properly at the back, low down, not up round your shoulder blades, you dont get that bra roll happening. Its worth a try, I always thought my big boobs were what made the back ride up, but I was wearing a band size 2 sizes too big! And now that blob of fat that used to stick out underneath isnt visible anymore.

Congrats Mary! How awesome at GOAL! and a size 4! amazing - you look fantastic from other pics I saw....way to go!
