Suz-
Isn't that where your weight is really supposed to be goal-wise?  Are you having scale freakout?  :)  I'm right there with you.  I still think I would look better at 125-130 instead of my current 130-135- but my family thinks otherwise.

My current stats:
Surgery 250
LW 134
TW 132
lowest 124

I was able- just barely -to squeeze into my little , sleeveless, just above the knee, black dress (cheap size 4) for Saturday night and actually had a lot of fun.  It was a long 2 1/2 hours for the triplets to sit and they where soooo good!!  I was so proud of them.  Plus they looked adorable!!  :)
It was funny though- I had to undo the side zipper of the dress for the car ride- the dress is so tight everywhere- especially the ribs.  I did have a woman come up after and tell me how fabulous I looked.  She said my arms look great and asked where I work out.  I told her the Y and she said she was a personal trainer that hasn't been able to train for a few months and that she was jealous of my arms.  Well- I looked at her little black dress and she had some pretty nice arms and shoulders herself.  WOW- I have NEVER- EVER- even when I was thin pre surgery had ANYONE be jealous of any part of my body.  I had to ask my husband if she was being "real".  I cannot believe how far we've come!!!  Who would ever have guessed where we'd be today?
I still really struggle with my pouch and if I hadn't had a soccer game and a birthday party before Sat nite- I would have made a trip to buy some SPANKZ type garment for my tummy.  If I don't hold it in and keep my posture just so - I can really look pregnant.  I did get a few- "I can't believe you've had triplets comments"  which is always nice too- but the trainer one really made my month.
Last night I had a binge again.  I couldn't sleep and ate WAY too much and almost made myself sick.  Within a few hours I'd had a bacon sandwich with 2 pieces of bread, 2 peanut bars, 100 cal pouch of chips, 2 slim-a-bear ice creams, a rice krispy treat, a diet coke and then 6 oreos dunked in milk.  These problems usually happen late at night for me between 12 and 4 AM.   I'm really trying to work on this- it scares the crap out of me.  I hadn't exercised since Friday and when I get off-track it's really hard for me to get back on.  I think it started with the dinner Saturday nite- and I just never got back to my kind-of routine.  I think I have to tell myself- once in awhile a celebration is great- BUT I need to start fresh the next morning.  Has anyone else had this happen?  I am very embarrassed / ashamed writing this- it happens more than I like.  After I'm good til I get back to where I need to be- mostly by eating close to what I should and really upping the exercise for me.  And I wonder why I have a gut?  MORON!!!
Anyways- here's to a good week for everone- I'm back on track.

I didn't mean to sound as though I was only supporting Columbia- I was just making a plug for medical tourism if you have no other options.  There are great doctors all over the world- the main thing is research, research and more research!!!
