Hey all how are you guys ... miss ya ... I've been working like crazy with the holiday season here bit I do still try to pop on here and there ... 

As you know I had my wls 4/8 and I'm 8 months out now I went from 242 to 137 and I have gone from a size 18 + to a size 3 / 4 or sometimes a size 0..smh weird lol ... I'm happier and healthier then I can ever remember !!! The things that would have done me in before now I can handle mentally !!! I love that.... I can't open a jar of pickles without help though lmao!!! 

I have been in maintenance for just about 2 months now . Started maintenance at 145 still getting used to it .. now I'm 137.. ( secretly I wanted 135 anyway so I'm ok with it )  

It's definitely a different world to now get on the scale and hope I didn't loose and rather then wishing for it to go down ... it's kinda like a permanent stall :-)

I do have alot of people flipping say your getting way to skinny STOP  loosing .. but i know it's because they are still used to the fat me ... if they met me for the first time I'm sure they wouldn't say to skinny ... my BMI is 22.1 ummmmmmmm healthy not underweight !!! I'll put some new pics in my profile in a few mins !!! Miss you all your all doing great congratulations! !! :-)

Well done, Kelly Jean,

Congratulations.  I share so many of your feelings here.  It is so strange to get up in the morning and not tell myself -"You need to lose weight today."  as I have for the past 5 decades.  For the first time in a half century, I don't need to lose weight.  And just when I got good at it! hhehehe. 

I am also still losing slowly, but I'm ok with that because I still have a pot belly that I'd like to shed. I also have lots of people telling me to stop losing, and I am in a normal BMI, so I am trying to settle in at just under 160.  what I trip this has been.

Again congratulations on a job well done.

Carol
