I'm 1 year out too. Congrats on your wt. loss and also on your pregnancy. I hope it goes smoothly for you and baby.

On March 11th I will be one year out.   I have lost 125 pounds and gone from a size 30/32 to a size 14 !!! Yea.  I can tolerate most all foods, not sure that's such a good thing though.  I have been so blessed through this whole life changing event.  I have had no complications no real problems. 
Having said that I do have a concern,  I lost 100 pounds in seven months and it  took three months to lose the next 25 pounds.  I have been at the same weight for two months now and it is driving me crazy.  I work out and keep my calories at around 800 to 1000 a day. 
I also worry because I feel hungary again and that scares me.  Can anyone else relate? 

Thanks,
Lynne

I will be a year on St. Patrick's day (3/17).  I can't believe how far I've come in one short year.  I used to be 320, BMI of 57, Size 30/32 in pants and almost a 5x in shirts.  Now I'm 183, BMI of 32.4, Size M/L in shirts and size 14 in pants.  I've lost a total of 137 lbs.

I mostly feel good.  I can't believe how much smaller I am though and I have issues with shopping.  On one hand I've lost a lot, on the other hand, I have a lot more to lose on my 5'3" frame.  Also, last time I was think I had just turned 18 and I used to wear things a lot diff. from what I wear now.  I am unsure of how I "should" be dressing.  I just turned 28 and I'm finding some things I'm looking at are too "young" for me, but a lot of stuff can also be too "old" for me.  I don't know what my style is yet and how I should be dressing.  It makes me very frustrated.  I'm very quickly running out of clothes and I have NOTHING at all for summer-time.

I have my annual bloodwork coming on on 3/13 and then my annual appt. with my surgeon on 3/19.  This way he'll hopefully have the bloodwork in by then.

I am so over joyed about what I have accomplished I am ready to throw a party!
YEAH LADIES WE HAVE CAME SO FAR !!!!!!!! 

It will be a year 3/4/08 at 06:30:05 - I am only 10 lbs from my goal. I mainly eat based on a daily intake. If I know I am having Chinese food I will just eat two 100 snacks during the day and drink hot tea. Also, I buy Capri sun 25 cal juice drinks. I punish those drinks and I love the 100 snacks. Those snacks really help out when I have a taste for salt or something to crunch on. I am not able to eat beef, I went to my doctors and asked for x-rays and everything cause I swore I lost my stomach. I was balled up and crying for hours until I passed out asleep from beef. I would have a cupcake and starved the rest of the day by eating nothing but fruits . But it works for me!  I must say the cupcake thing -it was a social thing mainly. I use splenda for everything that calls for sugar. Seafood is my best friend - without it I would starve. Also, I love my kettle chips! For the most part I would grade myself a B+  for staying on track! (Don't ask about the vitamins) However, there is room for improvement and mind control over what I no I can have from what I no I should not have.

I have been taking yoga, kick boxing classes, walking, and I can jog like a block straight before my knees about to buckle and my calf catch on fire (lol). I also do yoga and taebo at home and it is very good after a hard days work. I work out at least 30 mins every other day. If I miss a day I will work out 60 mins the next day. I am trying to find people who like to walk downtown but no wants to. That's okay, I have my mission and I go ALONE!

Good luck ladies & Thanks !

AGAIN Give yourselves a round of applause .........
