surgery date september 21 2005 weight before surgery 272 day of surgery 272 weight now148 height 5'8 I have been threw so much the past 3 months. My weight is still going off fast. I do not want to lose anymore weight. I am starting to look to thin. I am in a size 6 today. My waist is a size 29 My ribs show my abs show and lower stomach is almost gone. I look great in clothes. I just dont want to get any smaller than I am. I lost over 10 pounds last month. I need no other surgerys. I have been doing weight training. I bought a weight trainer.It is like a bow flex. My arms are getting musles and my back is getting musles. Even my small breast are looking better with this weight training. I still do my elliptical 50 minutes a day. 4 times a week. and I still do my ab lounge. The other night some girl at a bar was jealous of me. She harrased me all night. She kept callling me outside I just tried to ignore her. Finnally I had eneough. She was a skinny red neck blond. I went outside and I beat the crapp out of her. I told her . Dont F--- With me ever again. Hugs All Red Necdk Barb

Everyone is doing sooo awsome! I'm at goal and working on maintaining. It's a blessing! Wouldn't change a thing. Now I'm learing to live in this new body and dealing with all the emotions that contributed to compulsive eating and obesity in the first place. Thank you all for your support over the last year. Warmest regards, Sydney Weight at surgery: 244 Goal: 140 Weight today: 134

Hey! I had surgery on September 22 2006. Height 5'4" Starting Weight 241 Weight Now 145 I have several goals: I wanted to wear a size 8 (which I thought would be imposible) I wanted to reach 145 (my original goal) I still want to reach 135 ( my ideal weight) Last week I accomplished two!!! I fit into a size 8 and hit 145!! Chip chip chipping away at those last 10 pounds.....but I'm still very happy how I am now! And I'm certainly grateful for OH and all of you who share your lives so openly! Thanks for all your support!
