Way to go Sue! I'm sooo proud of all of your accomplishments. I am thrilled myself with my year too. But with a sad note I've put on 5lbs from somewhere. Been struggling with the last 10lbs for 2 months now but it's all good. I have lost to date 161lbs (was 166 but I gained back 5) I weight in at 179lbs today (was 174) I have gone from a size 34W to mostly 14's with some 16's. Tops are some small's mostly medium unless it is a blouse. I have 34DDD breast that nothing fits around anymore. Wishing for a reduction and a lift. I went from a BMI of 62 being super super morbidly obese to 31.8 My arm flab is actually pretty good suprisingly. My thighs look like a sharpai puppy (forgive me for the spelling) My rear end hurts all the time from the pinching of the loose skin YIKES! And I echo you on the happy healthy stuff. I have been toning though as of late. I'm wondering if thats where the weight gain is coming from. I actually fit in to the 14's with ease these days even though I gained weight. Wish I could tone the gobble neck that I now have. Can't afford a lyposuction so I guess I'll just have to gobble along. It goes well with my web fingers. The web fingers in case you didn't read that post eons ago was from the weightloss. My fingers went from a ring size 6 1/2 to a size 4. My husband happily pointed out that I now have duck fingers with webbing between them. Well I guess it could be worse I could develop feathers. LOL LOL I tell everyone that I have now turned into a flying squirrel with all the webbing that I now have. This year has been wonderful. Best Wishes on your success! Donna Paige

Sorry you don't feel good...but I must say...you look mavalous dawling! Its not how you feel...its how you look. Sorry...I'm channeling ...what's his name today. I have been doing great...until yesterday...I ate and ate an ate. I finally got down to 147 last week. Now I can taste my goal of 145...and so I guess I freaked out. Its like I'm scared to get to goal or something... Feeling a lot more in control today. Hope you start filling better! So far...herb tea/protien bar Starting on water Rachel

Hi! I eat them most days for bfast. I eat the pria carb selects. They are the perfect size...most are way to filling. Its not easy to find low sugar/fat bars. I love Avid's delve bars. you can get them on line at avid.com...but they are sweet...almost like a rice crispy square. Just a side note on the power crunch cookies...they turned into a 'trigger food' for me. I just kept eating wayyyyy too many. so I don't eat them anymore, but most of my WLS love them. Rachel

WooooHooooo! You look amazing! Wow! Thanks for sharing...inspirational! Rachel

I live on Atkins Morning start choc. chip bars... they have 13 grams of protein, and I eat at least two a day. I would not be where I am not without them. I love them Tracey
