1 year postop this month! Progress so far :)

Hi everyone I missed posting about my 1 year postop which was now 2 weeks ago as I was visiting PA and then AZ most of this month, but I am thrilled to say that I've lost 187 lbs in my first year + 2 weeks, going from 367 lbs with a BMI of 61.1 to 179 lbs with a BMI of 29.8! My body fat percentage started out at 56% and is now 21% (an ideal body fat percentage). And in terms of sizes, I've gone from a size 7X to a size Misses Small on top and Misses 12 on bottom (having lost over 160 inches)! Now if only all the excess skin wouldn't be a problem... Actually it's not nearly as bad as it could be as I've exercised my way down in weight and have lost absolutely 0 muscle since last August, but it's still pretty bad. I have a consult with a plastic surgeon the first Tuesday in June (though I don't intend to have PS just yet. This is more to simply find out how much more I should focus on losing before having PS.). Hope this finds everyone well and loving life!!!
