AmberLee72: First of all, thank you!  I have not hit goal.  I have "stalled" at same weight for months now.  I have lost some in inches, I know, and because I am now working out I know I am also gaining muscle and muscle weight, but I also know I have to crack back down on what I am eating and how much.  It is so easy to fall back into old habits.  I don't do too bad, just know I can be doing much better.  Having said that, even if I don't lose any more, I can be happy where I am.  There are parts of me that are already very skinny and bony and I hope not to lose any more in those areas.  Just REALLY want to tone up the saggy baggies if you know what I mean!  LOL  I have a bad shoulder/elbow that has kept me from doing more aggressive workouts than I would like to.  I am finally getting in good enough shape that I hope to amp up my workouts for the rest of my body soon.  I know I may never get rid of all the saggy baggies, but I can at least get healthy trying!

Secondly, WOW!  Your before and after pics look more like mother/daughter pics!  You look great! 

For the most part I can eat what I want... to a point.  There are some foods I shouldn't eat that give me difficulty and that is par the course since I SHOULDN'T be eating them!  (breads, rice, pasta, potatoes etc)  I usually only eat those when I have to eat out and I am happy with eating a bite or two and giving it to someone else to finish.  MY KIDS LOVE ME!!  ha ha  

I was just discussing on the RNY board the other day how there are "big pouch" days and "little pouch" days.  Some days I seem to be able to eat more than I should and other days I barely eat a thing and I am full.  Sometimes it is a matter of the ol' taste buds.  One day something tastes good and the next it doesn't.  Others have said the same thing.  There are some days I can eat chicken or hamburger meat and other days I can eat it, but it doesn't set well or feel like it goes down so well.  In one hand I am "lucky" I have not had more issues or sugar or  lactose intollerance, etc, but on the other hand, it is easy to want to eat those foods.  My weight loss has not changed my hypoglycemia, so in that respect, that keeps me in check pretty good with my sugars.  Thankfully, I am not an ice cream fanatic, I can eat a small scoop or a few bites and be fine with that.

Happy where I am, but would love to lose some more!

I have been terrible about checking in and keeping up on OH so just now seeing your post.  You seem like you have such a good plan and stick with it so well.  Great job!  I am working on it. I don't do horribly, but know I can ALWAYS make improvements.  Hope to "grow up" and be just like you and stick to the guns more!  Congratulations!   

I finally lost 100 lbs but I have so much excess skin. My scale says 210 but I look much smaller and wearing 14-12. I love shopping in new stores but really can't wait til I can not have to wear shape wear

I was 233 DOS and I am now 126 and a size 2 or 4 or 0. LOL!

Either way I am amazed. : )
