7 years out!! Sharon has blown us away with her success and commitment to a lifestyle change. Keep up the great work and we are excited to see what the next 7 years brings for you! Click like to show her your support! Here is a note from Sharon on her anniversary, 10/7/13....... 7YEARS TODAY Surgery anniversary today! Lost all my weight and kept it off. Gave myself a whole new life, best gift ever. I'm at the point now where I barely remember being overweight. How did I do it? 1. Positive attitude all the way. It was so much fun seeing the pounds drop off. 2. No excuses. Let's see, during these 7 years I broke my neck, discovered I have a brain tumor, lost my mom, moved across the country, and am now recovering from shoulder surgery. (WAY worse than sleeve surgery that's for sure). Not to mention quarantine. So life will come up, don't use it as an excuse to gain back weight. Eating junk won't change anything. 3. Weigh myself daily so if I'm a little up I get more careful about what goes in my mouth. 4. Exercise. Even after shoulder surgery I'm encouraged to walk on a flat surface (incline OK) so I'm out everyday. Did almost 1,000 vertical feet yesterday. Hoping to be cleared for skiing and snowshoeing by January. I do miss trail hiking and mountain climbing, but I can wait. Biggest accomplishment as a regular sized person was summitting Kilimanjaro August 2019. And as my mom would have told you, I'm no spring chicken. The sleeve surgery is an opportunity, not a guarantee. Join me in being at the weight that is right for you!
