I'm still here...

I haven't been very active, but I do bounce on once or twice a month to read and catch up and see "old friends".  It's good to see Lora and Laura and others who have been on here forever are still here, actively supporting all, newbies, oldies and delinquents like me!  I'm almost three years out.  I stay right around 175, so I'm going to make an effort between now and my three year anniversary to get down to 165...although my hubby may kill me...he likes my curves!  So do I.  I'm 5'11" so at 175 I'm in a size 10.  It takes a good 25 lbs for me to drop sizes so I'll still be a size 10...he's only going to really notice if the weight comes off my boobs!  lol.  They finally don't look deflated anymore.  Here a recent pic...compared to the beginning...I'm very thankful for this tool.  It hasn't been easy, but it's definitely been worth it.

You look amazing!  Congrats on your weight loss!!!

You look amazing. SO glad to have someone post who is 5'11" and at goal. I am 5'11" and set 170 as my goal, just because it was in 'normal' BMI- higher end, but still normal. I am closer than I've ever been and yet it seems so far away. I don't know how to tell my regular friends they aren't helping me when I try to say I am trying to stay focused and lose more weight and all they say is "you look great"... I keep being told that is too much more weight to lose.... SO again thanks for posting!

Hi.  I have other pictures posted on my profile...including one with a sleeveless dress.  Gives you a decent idea...and again, everyone carries their weight different, but it's an idea anyway. There's one there with my sisters so you can see I'm still a big girl....just a NORMAL sized big girl.  Tell your friends your goal is to get to a healthy BMI....170 is high end of the healthy BMI...say thank you for your kind encouraging words, but I just want to get to a healthy weight and then say there!

You really do look amazing! I am also happy to see that you're 5'11, I know everyone holds their weight differently ~ And my doctor told me my goal weight should be "180", but I am also 5'11 and I just didn't know how I would feel being out of the 200s.. Looking at your pictures is such an inspiration, THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing simply beautiful

Thank you...I have other pictures posted on my profile.  Check them out...I'm standing next to "normal" people...lol...like my 5'3 and 5'6 sisters, so you can see it better in context!
