Topic: RE: How do you maintain?
Hummm.. I am 5'6" and weigh 132. I am trying to get to 129. It is taking forever... I don't think the 130's is too low for 5'6"-5'7". IMHO.

Topic: Having my TT
I recieved the call on Tuesday, I WAS APPROVED FOR PLASTIC SURGERY(TUMMY TUCK) I am very happy but very nervous too, not because the surgery but because this ends a long journey and wow! what a journey.
Wish me luck and please don't forget me in your prayers.
The surgery will be on November 15 at 11 AM at Baystate Medical Center in Springfield, MA.

Topic: Challenge...new one for today!
Hello everyone,
I haven't been to this site in almost a year. My weight has been at a plataeu for almost 9 months. On the day of surgery I weighed 341 and today I weigh 177. I was so very motivated and lost all of the weight quickly, but have slacked off on maintaining good behaviors.
I can tolerate sugar without any problems, tootsie rolls are my greatest weakness for sweet cravings. I'm also a cheese addict. The only thing that I cannot eat is rice.
I would really like to lose another 40 lbs by this time next year, but most importantly, maintain healthy lifestyle behaviors.
I know that my sister visits weigh****chers sight daily and there are many challenges going on. I would love to have someone to do this with on this site. I figure we can post our goals for the week etc. every Monday under "Challenge" topic.
Anyone interested?
My goal for this week is to stop eating past 8pm, and to make sure I drink at least 6 glasses of water a day. No more tootsie rolls and no more overdosing on cheese, especially full fat.
I weighed in at 177.5 this am and will not weigh myself until next Monday when I post here again.
If anyone wants to email me directly, I can be reached at [email protected]

Topic: RE: How is your appetite?
I do feel hungry sometimes. But it still doesn't take much to fill me up. More then right after surgery but not anywhere near as much as pre op.Probably about 1/3 to 1/2 as much, depending on what I am eating.
Topic: RE: How Is Everyone???
It took me 17 months but I reached my surgeons goal of 215. I have a large frame and a lot of muscle from all the exercise I've done over the years. I wear a size 16 now, the plastic surgeon says I'll be in a 12/14 after my plastic surgery October 21st. I won't ever be a size 4 but then I'd probably be dead from anorexia before I'd reach a size 4.
I'm satisfied with how I look, but when I step on the scale it drives me nuts to think I've finished losing and I'm still over 200 lbs. Hopefully plastic surgery will take me below the 200 mark.
I find myself at loose ends mentally now. All the excitement of losing weight is gone, leaving me with a feeling of "What now". I've decided that I am going to do something each week outside my comfort zone. That doesn't mean anything major, just a trip to the bookstore, local pub, join an enviromental group, live theatre, etc. I've been a hermit for too long, anything to get me out of the house.
Best of luck for your continued success.
