Topic: RE: GOAL? AT GOAL?
I'm 15 pounds from my surgeons pre-plastic surgery goal but to be honest I'd like to lose another 40 pounds before having PS. I have an appointment set up with a plastic surgeon since my surgeon says I will lose 30-40 pounds with a body lift. I figure I'll let the PS guide me on when enough is enough.
I could live with where I am today but I think most of us want to fit the insurance weight tables and I'm nowhere near those. I am thankful to be where I am though because I've been given my life back.
Seems most of us haven't hit goal in 12 months, but we can still finish the journey up before our window closes.

I am at goal. Actually my goal was to weigh 145 pounds, and I weigh 136 pounds. I have weighed that since Nov. 2004. My starting weight was 277.

Topic: 13 months out
Ok I quit smoking as of January 23rd..Cold turkey too no meds or patches just stopped smoking a 20 yr habit of 2 and half packs a day.I am also nervous as anything today. I am having preop today and surgery tommorrow. My tricare approved lower trunk lift tummy tuck and I am having my boob job too. All that scares me more than the bypass did, I think its the fear of the unknown and the fact that there will be some sort of instant gratifacation on this one ...even with the sweeling. Not sure what to expect honestly...hard to imagine not carrying around all the stomach skin!!!Please everyone pray for my family and me and I hope all is doing good.

I'm 7 lbs from goal and this darn scale will NOT budge! It's so frustrating!
I know if I could have ps I would easily lose 10-15 lbs. from all the excess in my belly, arms and thighs. I just need to hit the lottery to do it! Sigh...
My surgeon was completely happy with where I was at, but I am bound and determined to get to my personal goal of 130 lbs.

Hey gang!
I've been out of the loop for quite some time. I finally finished my move to Atlanta after the job issue.... I've found a new job, I'm still so much in love! I found the man in Atlanta during my last job. I hope to be able to post new pics - my last ones didn't pop up! I made it past my 31st birthday last week & my boyfriend took me to Clearwater Beach for the weekend (also Valentine's Day)
I have enjoyed all of this so much! Although I wish that my job glitch for the past couple of months didn't happen - but what can you do? I'm on my feet and staying with friends until I can find a place of my own.
I hope all of you are doing well - I am about 20 pounds from goal - but not too concerned - I am healthy, getting in the right foods, exercising and TRYING to get all the water in I need. But - can't do everything right! LOL.
God Bless!

Hi Ladies and Gents!!!!!!
Welll I am 157 and my goal would be 130 but I am leaning more towards 140 because I dont want to be too thin. I also feel great but I am having to have hernia surgery and TT soon so that may push me to goal soon
