You know what I do, I look at my old picture and remember that I don't want to be in that shape EVER again. I wish you all the luck in the world and I feel very confident that you will lose morw weight and maintain

What ever weight your happy at I say good for you, after all you had the surgery done for your happiness. Stay focus on your goal and the fact that the weight can be put back on with time as long as your aware of that you will be fine.

Thanks for the help I have look into it by my doctor and hopefully this problem will be fix soon. I'm really tired kof the cramp and even more tired of being tired all the time.

Hi Debbie, Since April I have lost about 10 - 15 lbs. The last 5 seem to fluctuate up and down, but I'm pretty consistant. Am I down to the weight charts optimal weight for my height? NO, but considering where I have been I'm doing very well. When ever I am feeling unmotivated to do the right thing, I take a good hard look at my pictures from when I was at my heaviest. I never want to get back to that again. Then I make myself do something good for me like taking a brisk walk or talking with my best friend. She also had the surgery and totally understands where I'm coming from. We both lean on each other and get ourselves past that hump. I hope that you have someone like that in your life that you can call on. That is what works for me. I hope you can find that special trick that will work for you. You are smart for asking for input here, there are a lot of people who are walking in the same shoes as you are. Best of luck. BTW you look terrific!!! Terri

I am at 198 from 360...... hoping I can get to at least 180 before I'm done.
