Topic: RE: My scale has stopped.
My surgeon goal was 140 to 150. My goal was 130 to 140. I range between 135 to 138.6. But I now want to be between 130 to 135. I can't get down under 135 it is like my body is fighting me and I exercise at the gym 7 days a week. I seem to keep creeping up to 138.6 lately. I will freak if I get up to 140 plus again. Maintaince is so scary and hard to do.

Love your new pic! I have loads of wrinkles now. Yesterday I was noticing the ones by my eyes...what are those called? Crow's feet?
I'm working on a new pic. Maybe next weekend while I'm in Las Vegas.

I need to see new profile pictures for all my July buddies! I am excited for all of you. AND an update! 
I pulled my hair back, so now you can really see my smile wrinkles!
Upload new pictures of yourself as well if you have time.

Topic: 115 gone forever
Hi friends! I'm down 115 pounds.
I get asked a lot by people who know about my surgery how I've done it...how have I given up all the foods and made sacrifies. Once I begin to tell them what my life was like to be 5'4" and close to 300 pounds and begin to tell my story, they can quickly see that what I have given up pales in comparision to what I have gained!
Congradulation to everyone, no matter where you are on your journey!

Hang in there! It will happen.
I'm 30 lbs. away from goal. (Should we include/exclude excess skin weight if we're going to have it removed?) I'm planning on having a little plastic surgery when I hit goal ; )
I was stuck above the 200 lb. mark for 1/2 the summer, almost 5 weeks, then bam I started moving more and the weight dropped like a bomb. I joke with my teen daughter when I go out to mow the yard and come back in, I'll say "Well I just probably dropped another 5 lbs." LOL
Try doing something different. Take a hike on the weekend. You'll probably be amazed too.
