Sherry, I was looking at your page and we share a surgery date. I was 1 lb heavier than you were. I'm 174 lbs now. You really should put some updated pics on your site so we can see your progress. It's good to see everyone doing so well.

I so love not obsessing about food every minute of the day. It's such freedom!

Thanks Sharon! It is really cool. I'm still recovering from hernia surgery Monday (not fun) but that little piece of good news is keeping me going. I love your tucked in shirts and funky belts - and happy husband!

I definitely don't have that problem! I have heard others say that if you really want to stop losing to up your carbs. Personally, I wouldn't worry about getting too skinny yet. I'd just do what you are doing and if you lose more, at least you'll have room for the rebound weight some people gain. I was actually hoping to get a little too thin so that when that comes back, I'd still be small. Just a thought! Congrats on your weight loss. Sherry

It's probably been since junior high for me, too. I did get down to 150 after I had my first child, but that's been 14 years ago. 130 will put me in the middle of the normal range. I don't know. It just seemed like a good place to aim! And I'm two inches shorter than you, so you would be skinnier than me at 130. No one has seriously called me skinny yet. They say it more as a fun compliment that I'm getting there. Some do express disbelief when I say I need to lose 41 more pounds. I know I'm much smaller, but my mind still sees a morbidly obese person at least 50% of the time. I have to really look to see my smaller self. When I finally see it, it's awesome! Sherry
