Good luck Joyce, I will be right behind you. I am having a lowere body lift on July 27. You will get a better response by posting this question on the plastic surgery board. Hoping you have a speedy recovery! Janet

Great to see you post Betty, Im like you in that i have lost very little this year. i think i have lost maybe 10 lb in the last 7 months, i am now teetering between 138 and 140. i am not uncomfortable at this weight at all but would like to lose another 10 lb. I walk, try to eat as well as possible, drink lots of water, take vitimans.. i guess this is as small as i am supposed to get. Nice to see you here, Hugs, Carla

It has been a long time since I posted here. I was just reading some of the postings. I am so glad to see that alot of you are having the same fears as me about gaining my weight back. I too have not lost any weight this year. But I am down to my goal weight. I guess my goal weight not the weight all the books and stuff say I should be. I go from 123 - 127. all depending on what I eat and what time of the month it is and how much excerise I do. Which by the way has become very lax. I really should be doing more instead of less. It just seems like work is more busy and doing alot more other things around the house and camping. anyway just wanted to vent a little, and say hi to all take care and hope you are having a great summer, as short as summers are spend it having fun. Betty

You know nerves can do weird and nasty things to you! LOL I too have slowed waaayyyy down on the weight loss... but I just look at it through rose-colored glasses.... if this is where I end up it's still much much better than where I began! Hugs, Karen

my skin is actually crawly with hives.My scalp tingles and my hair is standing up! I know its nreves.I stopped getting on a scale a while back and I stopped losing also. 6 months have passed and no loss. I am panicking because I still have 60lbs to go to reach goal and on november 1,2007,I will be 2 years out. I was losing at a steady 5 +lbs a month and I don't know when it stopped but lost only 30 this year so far. I have been relatively healthy with only minor discomforts ,some constipation,some dumping if I eat reads or sugars. I am afraid the old habits are returning and it scares me to death. I never realized how sick I was back then until now when I can compare the difference in how I feel. I never want to go back. I'm scared.
