Hard to believe that one year ago today I was having my VSG! It didn't even dawn on me until I was driving to work this morning! I hit goal (130 lbs.) the start of December and then lost an additional 7-9 lbs. since then. I usually hang around 123-124 lbs. these days, sometimes bumping up to 127 or down as low as 121. I add/decrease calories as needed to keep me in that range.

I attribute my success to a protein forward diet, logging my food and exercise daily and regular exercise. I am so thankful for the information and support I have received on these boards. A special shout out to Cappy, Frisco, Grim, Happy Teacher and Gwen for getting me to maintenance and a huge shout out to my whole maintenance family on the VSG maintenance board - you all rock and give me the strength and inspiration to keep on keeping on!

Paula, you're doing fantastic! How did you manage to lose those 7-9 lbs? Did you do anything different. I'm struggling trying to lose my last 10 lbs. You look amazingly good! Keep up the good work. Christine

I just slowly added back the calories and it took a while to find a level where I wasn't losing. I still have to adjust frequently! Thanks for the compliments!
