Never give up

Wow, I needed this post, Price. I have been a bit adrift the last couple of weeks and the scale is going up and down and all around. It helps to hear that all is not lost. Congrats!

I just kept doing what I had been doing, when I hit a normal BMI in February, and over the next couple of months, I slowly dropped to 110. In mid- April, I hit 110, which was my goal and where my PCP thought I should be. Since then, I have upped my carbs and calories and have been ranging from 108-110.

So, I agree, just keep on doing the exercise and tracking your food and you will get there. With the RNY, I think the malabsorption has a much greater role and lasts longer than with the VSG. The further out that I get, it is more about my choices and habits than about the surgery, although, it certainly helps to regulate my intake.

I think that I am done. I am 4'll" so there isn't too much of me to lose. I have been weight training since December, so I have developed more muscle, which has helped with toning. It will be interesting to find out, how much excess weight is skin.

Congratulations, Price. 110 lbs may be in your future. I lost my weight without severely restricting my carbs. During the weight loss, I averaged between 40-50 carbs/day, which I needed for exercise.

Congratulations Price. You have done a great job.   I wish mine would drop like that.  I've stayed pretty consistent within about 3 pounds.

Price -congratulations!!  You have been a role model for this board about keeping on when your weight doesn't move.  You definitely deserve this!!! I'm doing the happy dance for you!! 

Thanks everyone.  I have been gone and didn't have a connection.  I just believe in paying it forward.  I love you guys.

Thank you, Price. I needed to hear this.  I also need to remind myself how far I've come and the fact that my diabetes is in remission and I'm off all the damn medications.  Congratulations on reaching goal, you are truly terrific.
