I can't believe I haven't posted for so long...but I am 4 yrs fat free and still so very happy about it..Not always easy but worth every thing I have put into it..still at a normal weight I have gained 10 lbs but from what I hear that is not bad...still can eat the wrong thing and it causes me to dump but I feel that is a good thing as it keeps me in check..all in all it is great...Do need to make my appointment for my 4 yr check..

To the doc today for my 2 yr check up and everything is great..they were amazed that I have lost 94.4% of my excess weight she said not many people do that at all so I was very pleased also...weighed in at 144 had lost 15 pounds from my 1 yr anniversary...she said to keep doing what I am doing and all should be fine..It hasn't been easy at times but so worth it all too bad my brain won't recognize that I am smaller still feels fat...oh well sometimes I will catch a reflection of myself in the mirror and at first don't realize it's me..now that is a strang sensation lol... I have lost a total of 52 inches she showed me on the measuring tape how much that is...I am happy...Now to maintain..........

Went on our Goldwing trip to VA and had a wonderful time..yes I did hear you are too skinny but that's ok..I am maintaining my 141 so that is good..I will go in a couple of weeks for my 2 yr check I have lost 30 pounds since last years check so I am excited for them to know that and get any helpful ideas they have to offer..I am so thankful each and every day and I do feel so much better..Here's to keeping on track....

Made it thru the holidays with no weight gain holding it between 146-149 but I still weigh first thing every morning to keep it on track. I have lost 132 total and I do so want to keep it here..I can eat a little more at times than others not sure what that is all about but a good thing..I have eaten things I shouldn't but I do watch it too when I eat something then I leave something else alone..it feels good to be able to do things that I need/want to do ..simple things getting down to the floor to play with Zoe is something she loves for me to play with her on the floor..sure couldn't have done that a year ago..Keeping the faith I can keep it up wish I could help a fellow patient she is so discouraged..I don't want to make her more depressed or upset with herself.. here's to keeping on keeping on

Not sure how I have done it but this morning is an all time low of 148 so that is 131 lbs gone...It is the first time I can remember being this low since my teen years it is a good feeling all though people are saying I am losing too much but I think that is normal..I don't want to gain any want to stay here just will have to work hard at it I know...just keeping on keeping on..

Well we have joined the YMCA to get physical (haha) met with a trainer and for the first time in my life according to her calcuations I need to gain 4 pounds I almost ruptured laughing when in my life have I ever "needed" to gain to reach goal...also according to her measurements my BMI is 16.5 whoooaaaaa that was fun to hear...anyway I do need muscle tone and some shaping hopefully this will work...my hubby is doing it also he could lose a little but he isn't bad and it will be something to help both of us...I am still hanging in about 151lbs which is a good weight for me and I am under my goal of 165 so very happy about that...

Didn't realize I hadn't posted since my year check up all was great..labs were great and I was 5lbs below my goal..I have lost 85% of my excess and Vanessa (nurse) said that was exceptional since the surgery would help with 70%-75%..This morning I am down another 4 lbs..not really trying to lose anymore but it is better than going the other way..Now the real work begins keeping it this way..so far so good...
