Happy 1 year out my fellow July 14'ers!
Just checking in to see how you are all doing?
Me: I am doing fine. No complaints at the moment. I am weighing in at 145. I am 10 lbs away from my personal goal. My weight fluctuates 5 lbs any given day. I can weigh 150 one day and 145 the next. I guess it could be water weight. I am eating better than I was. I still need to get my portions under control. I am not eating bread, rice, pasta or potatoes. I am eating meat, veggies, fruit, and lots of yogurt and cottage cheese. I drink a protein shake daily and am keeping up with my supplements. I am hoping something will kick start me into losing my last 10 - 15 lbs. But somehow no matter what I am just hovering at 145. I am happy with it though. I am not complaining at all! I love the new me. I do want to get my arms, thighs and tummy taken in so I don't look like a sharpei dog anymore with all my saggy skin. Exercise has not been what it should be! Hoping my appt on Friday will motivate me to get my butt moving again!
How is everyone else doing? Let's put 1 year post op pics up of ourselves on our blogs. I think before and after pics would be great to see how we have transformed in 1 year!

I'm hanging out at 150. I lose a couple, gain a couple. I wear a size 12 loosely and a size 10 in some things.
I exercise every other day (I'm doing the couch to 5K program and just started week 6 - Yikes!).
I LOVE my new body and remind myself often so I can do what I need to to stay this size. I am still struggling to get my snacking under control. I do over indulge on prunes and wasabi peas!
I eat very little to none potatoes, pasta, bread or rice. Although I can now eat a hamburger or hot dog bun - that makes life a bit easier. I don't always eat the bun, though. I NEVER crave bread or pasta any more and I LOVE that too!
I have developed an obsession for iced coffee and am spending WAYYYYY too much money indulging that. But, I'll get there.
