WOW! 
Phenomenal! Doesn't it feel great? Keep up the good work. I recently went through a weight regain and panicked.....Was up 21 pounds. Yikes! Went back to basics and I'm back - lost all but 2 pounds. Currently at 119 and well under goal (my docs goal was 130 and mine was 125).
You know what? It was soooooo hard to do. The carbs really did a number on me and I vowed that once I got it off this time that I would NOT do it again and so far so good......
Do you work out?

I lost 202 lbs from 350 to 148..... I am currently up about 7 lbs, That's ok because at 5'8 and a half, 148 I was developing a boy's body (no butt). I would like to go down to 150 lbs, I feel secure there:)
All in all, I so greatful to God and the surgeon for helping me get my life on track!

Hi Laura,
Yes, life is good! I have, for the most part, maintained as well. I'm under goal, (currently 125) and I am 5'1" I'm loving life and I'm healthy! It really feels great.

I'm doing well and have been maintaining my 200 pounds loss for 2.5 years now. It's interesting that you guys are complaining about being 137. That's what I weigh and I cannot imaging being any smaller at 5'7". I wear size 4's and I like my curves. I've had plastics and love my body now. I probably need my thighs done, but enough is enough. Life is good!!

Yeah, I wear 3/4 sleeves when I'm not wearing long sleeves....and *if* I do wear a short sleeve shirt or a tank top, there's always a cover up on top of it.
The scale is starting to go down for me once again, which is nice, since it's been going up since I've been going to the gym 6 days a week. But *finalllllly* this week I'm back to where I once was when I began going to the gym. Which made me smile :) But I've lost several inches in my waist so the number on the scale is not the end all be all.....but I still obsess over it. lol
This morning I pushed myself hardcore in my workout, which sucks during the workout, but feels sooooo good when I'm done just knowing *I* did it!
Another thing that I'm still getting used to is passing people when I'm running on the track! And I don't have to walk...I can freaking run....that stilllll boggles my mind....I was always the tired one in the back of the pack being lapped.....unbelievable to me that I'm doing this!

As I read your reply I was saying to mself "OMG, she is talking about me!" And I mean,to the nearest: I got down to 118 and WAS AT 139.6. I went back to basics in february,about 3 weeks ago and I'm down 10 lbs already. Protein shakes and one meal a day. Talk about spandex, I bet I got you beat! 
I have not been to the gym in over a month. I''m in school and recently completed my comprehensive examination - a very long, intense and stressful period (12 weeks) so during that time I did not even attempt to go. I just passed 2 weeks ago. I'm ready to go back now.You know, I don't wear short sleeves without another short/jacket covering my arms. Just as you, I would do it again in a heartbeat. My life is so much better.

I'm personally feeling great, I've gained some weight back from my lowest...I had gotten down to 119 I'm currently at 137 but I'm working on that :) I have rededicated myself, and have really been giving it my all this 2012! I workout 6 days a week, and loving it!
What I don't like.....I can't wear short sleeve shirts because the skin on my upper arms is so saggy, and it actually has a weird roll in the middle of my upper arm on both sides :(
My legs are wobbly and loose...and my stomach is sooooooo icky. Thank heavens for spanx. I never leave home without spanx!!
Overall I'd still do it again in a heartbeat....life has just been so awesome since losing weight!

You look gorgeous and how tall are you. By the way you are correct because God is the one to thank.
