You have done Great! And been a big inspiration to us all. You have stuck with this Board when so many others have left.. Wonder what has happen to alot of them? I wish I could get myself motivated to get below 150 again. It isn't but just a few pounds away. I just some days can't get inspired but that is just attitude and being tired from 2 jobs. I have dropped a few pounds though in the last few weeks but I think it may be from have Iron infusions last month. My feritin went to a 3 and they just redid my labs last Friday only after I called and said hey guys its been a month?? I got off my Vitamins last year and put myself in a Hole. I am wonder if low Iron effected my matobolism? Bet you know! Well it is always good to see you on here. Thanks for being here.

I had to deal with issues in a totally different way and I have had a hard time with that. I started smoking because I couldnt eat and I was scared I would gain the weight back. Its that whole transfer addiction thing.
Hi Lori,
We all come to this in our own way and in our own time. There have been times that I have lamented that I didn't do this sooner, but I actually think that I did this in my own time, the right time for me. It sounds like you are doing this in your own, right time.
Wishing you every success in your own journey to a healthier you.
Warmly,
Barbara

Been almost four years next month and wow has it been a crazy four years. I dont get on here at all like I used to and I guess at times I try to forget I was the big girl that no one paid attention to.
I've come along way in the past four years and have had many up and downs.
Life is so different when your skinny and its sad to see how people treat you so much better when you arent the big girl anymore. Once I started loosing the weight I started getting attention that I never used to and it was very nice but inside I get upset with the people who are so nice to me. Im always thinking "would this person even gave me the time of day if I was still big?"
All in all I'm still glad I had the surgery and all is well. I have my ups and downs but I keep on fighting. I havent had any issues with keeping my weight off and If I feel like im going overboard I slow it was down and go back to the beginning. I weigh myself everyday for fear of ending up the way I was again. Im gonna start checking in more often. I do like to see all the before and after pics and talk to all these wonderful people who are so inspired to be better.
