    You're not the enemy. As it says on my profile, I don't buy into the received wisdoms about weight loss. I have a pragmatic approach to this venture.

    Whatever works. Whatever motivates you best. Just keep on keeping on.

    And bloody well done for your progress so far!

    Hell yea! Who cares if you had surgery to get there. Some people need a little jump start to get the ball rolling and it looks like the ball hasn't stopped. Keep it up. Can't wait to see the pictures when you reach your goal. I love seeing how far people have come. Keep going and don't look back! :happy:

    Weight loss surgery is not an easy way out. It's a tool and still takes a lot of work. You don't have to apologize to anyone. You deserve all the kudos you get. Congrats!

    (I have a LapBand, so I know whereof I speak.) :)

    Hey Howie!

    Congratulations on your progress.

    I have friends who have had GP surgery, and it is NOT an easy way out contrary to popular belief, so my hat is off to you.

    Great work, and just keep working hard. You'll reach your goals!

    You make it sound like the surgery was a bad thing! If it helped you to get to where you could start doing these things by yourself, it's not the enemy! It's just another stepping stone in your journey of awesomeness. =)

    Well said! Congratulations on both the weight loss and the change to a more positive and proactive attitude. You can do this! :happy:
