Gosh why do I feel so fat still??

SKIN SKIN SKIN!!!! and it hangs like Im still 300 lbs.... Im so friggin depressed. My doctors goal is 145, Im at 175. I still have 30 lbs to get there. And whats bad? I can eat like theres no tomorrow. I have been away from the site way too long, and I need to get back on this track... Im here to remind myself where I come from, and need some encouragement to get back on track. Im in the mindset that Im happy w/ who I am right now, but really Im not. give me some good words please... Thanks, and Lots of love and claps to all of you for doing so good this year...

Hey Jessica - I think we're all feeling that way right about now. I'm at 153 this morning and my surgeon wants me at 140. I go see him for my 1 yr follow-up next week and I know I won't be at goal, very depressing. But, I've started something that I hope takes off on this board, it's a daily "what are you eating and how are you exercising" type of post. It works really well on one of the other boards and I thought I'd steal it for us to use here. Kind of an accountability and encouragement type of posting. Please join us, the more people we have participating, the better because it helps give us ideas on different foods and exercise that we may not have tried.

145 seems so tiny. How tall are you? I hope you are shorter than me, because I can't imagine the strain of trying to weigh 145. I'm 5'5" and my doctor didn't give me a goal, so I pay attention to what other doctors, too. Becky

Hey Becky!! I am 5'3". Yeah kinda short...lol
