I am down 134 lbs, and I weigh 134 lbs. Exactly 1/2 the person I was before.
Well, I am not through, but can't seem to lose any more! I had surgery 11/3/03
started at 348 am down to 170 and my goal is 140. Plastics would get me a long way there! I am in a size 12 finally from a 28, and haven't been a size 12 since the age of 12 and I'll turn the big 40 next month. I would like to lose the other 30 but I am thrilled (except for the hanging boobs and skin), but it's better than the fat!

Heather,
I am in the same boat that you are. I am down to 169 and in a size 12 - just turned 40 a week ago!! AND, I used to live in Missouri!!
Anyway, I wish I had the answer to the last 30 lbs. I know I could do better with my food, but overall I feel great and I think I've made amazing changes with my food from pre-surgery. I don't eat "junk" but I feel like I still do some mindless eating and I am really working hard on that. To me, that is more of an issue than the 30 lbs. I think that if I can conquer that, the weight will happen. Meanwhile, I want to do a PS consult, but didn't know if I had to lose the rest of the weight first. Do you have any plans to do that?? Being almost 18 months out, I'm starting to feel a little panicky, like if I don't figure it out now, it's never going to happen.
Any advice from anyone is welcome!!! Thanks!! And, Heather, I know we can do it!! The answer is there, we just have to try harder for now!!
