Within a perfect storm of factors I gained 200 pounds in 3.5 years. I wanted my life back. The doctor said the only way to lose the weight was surgery, but I wanted to first try a diet. I started on 13 FEB 2010. I lost 165.2 pounds the first year and have now (AUG 2011) lost 209 pounds. I am eager to have reconstructive surgery and have begun research during this period of stabilization. I can hardly wait to celebrate a completed process.
April 2012: I have been maintaining my weight at 135 pounds, having lost 219 pounds. I am so ready for plastics. Work demands require that I wait until winter. Waiting is hard.
