Hey A Team;
I can not believe we have made it this far. I echo the other comments-I could not have made it this far without everyone's help and support. I appreciate that when I am having a tough time I can just let 'er rip and you guys understand.
Almost 2 yrs out. I have been at goal or below for a year. I am slowly learning how to live this new life-not easy-but might be doable.
Weight is back to 155lbs. That is cool. Love being skinny!!!
Thanks again A Team!

Seems like yesterday I was going threw the surgery. I cannot beleive how much we all have changed in just 2 years. I am so excited to see we all are at least stable and not gaining which is my biggest fear I am 162 this and earlier this week i hit 165 and i freaked out and started to watch my diet closely and u know I feel good I have the panic mode kicking in as before I would not even look at the scale but I have to weight in everyday as it keeps me in line. I know everyone has their own style for when they need to weight in, My scales i like a security blanket and when i leave town w/o it i start to panic. I am the kinda person that gives up to easy, I am so greatful everyone that has been sticking around after 2 years, You being here keeps me going, I know sounds like a broken record LOL I hope everyone will chime in this month even if they been gone for months or a year and lets us know how u r doing. I know the next year will be about keeping goal and toning up.
Someday I hope to be 147 but for now I am happy to be 162. I get alot of people telling me I am to skinny look anorexic and I am thinking nah u r just use to seeing this huge morbid obese person so at 162 I may appear to be annorexic but I am healthy weight. I had to chuckle I caught oprah show on celebrity weight loss and most were my size right now and how they saw them so huge being 160 and I had to chcuckle and think damn i am thinking i look goot a 162 LOL I want a woman figure not a stick figure. I am not aiming to be a double 00 lol that size i would like walking death. I want a booty and curves but I must admit I was so happy to see valerine bertonelli http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20267734,00.html She looks good at 48. I am thinking yup u can look great at 48 -50 I am taller than her so 147 maybe a good weight for me. But do not expect me to pose in bikini anytime soon never had one or will get one I am once piece kinda girl LOL Us older woman need role models like valerine that we are not past our prime

Good Morning Shar and everyone,
WOW, can't believe we are here!! 2 years out. I don't have my appointment until the 16th, the day of my surgery. What a difference 2 years make. I am also grateful for all the support that I have received here. Who better to understand what we are going through than someone who is actually going through it with you. I have finally reached my goal (about 2 weeks ago) so now it is all about maintaining, which we all know is going to be harder than the losing.
DOS: 347
Today: 150
Total lbs lost: 197

I am still the same. Waiting for warmer weather. I am also grateful for the A-Team and all the support we have given each other. The next months and years will be the true test of our strength. Keeping the pounds off will be our next challenge. Jan

Good morning everyone. As we all start to celebrate our 2 year anniversary , I applaud all of you! You have all been the most successful and committed people I have ever known. Your strength has individually, and collectively, carried all of us through this awesome journey. I know I could never have come this far without your support, love, and advise. We, as a team, have made it! And we will continue to carry on, together, through all the ups and downs that occur.
I am holding steady. My 2 year surgeon visit was posted already so I won't bore you with the details again.
155 pounds of fat LOST
And how was your week?

Shar, that is such exciting news. Wow a star in our A-Team!! I would also like to have a tummy tuck and a breast lift, but at 12,000 dollars it just isn't in my budget either. And at 60 years old, not sure it would be feasible. Jan
Topic: RE: 2 YEAR SURGEON CHECK UP
That's sounds exciting. Don't be ashamed of your weight, past or present, you look beautiful YOU'VE COME A LONG WAY BABY... Celebrate what you have achieved!! Your words will inspire others. You've certainly been an inspiration to me,
