I have posted 4 photos on my blog...please visit and see the amazing difference!!! http://www.emmyjmommy.blogspot.com I'm down another 23 lbs since the surgery...we think he took about 18 - 20 lbs of skin and the rest has been drainage...and I still have one drain doing its work...I hope to lose the other 2 - 3 lbs that will get me to ONEderland!!! It has been a rough thing to go through, but already worth it! ~~em

Hi Tanya, Sounds like you are doing well. I have now weighed the same for the better part of a year: 160ish give or take a pound here or there. I run 5 times a week up to 4 miles and can't loose another pound and keep it off to save my life. The good news is: I don't care anymore. IF this is what I am to weigh: Then so be it, I am pretty happy where I am. I started at 274 and 160 is great. I am probably not as good at eating as I should be: I get plenty of protein and water but probably too many carbs... but ya know? I am happy with what I am doing. Take care, jacqueline

**** Update *** BOY!! I can't believe it, by this time(time passed), dont people settle, and some gain weight back?? Checking in here.... I hadn't lost anything in a month or so, and then BAMM!!!
