Well I went to the Dr for my year out checkup and she said time to stop and stay at this weight.... and I am like dang I am 3 pounds away from my personal goal! now I have to maintain............... well not sure how I feel about this ... I am thinking hmmm ok I am a size 8-9 and I know after I get plastics I will be even smaller sooo it should not feel like i do..... but I want to hit 150 my goal.......... ok thanks I am done whinning and throughing my  fit...... I know the Dr is right and I will drop about 15 pounds of skin when I have plastic so I am putting on my big girl panties and do what I am told.

Hugs, Lisa

 He's right though, you will lose some more weight once the skin is off, so doing what he says is best.  Congratulations though, it's so great to hear that you have come so far and been so successful a year out from goal.

You are doing great! I say listen to the doc. How tall are you? a size 8 is awesome! Besides, remember too, you are only one yeAR OUT, AND IT WILL TAKE SOME TIME FOR YOU TO GET A BALANCE GOING TO MAINTAIN. yOU MAY STILL LOSE SOME HERE AND THERE, EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT TRYING.. SO DON'T TRY! OOOPS sorry for the cap locks.

I also recommend waiting another year for plastics. You weight will not be stable until then. I did my plastics at 1.5 years out, and wish I had waited. I lost 10 lbs after PS and eveything kinda loosened up on me.
Great job girlfriend!
