Hard to believe it's been 18 months.  Feeling great although getting tougher to keep up the healthy diet.  Have to do extra walking to keep things balanced.  Got down to 137 but started looking at pictures and got comments from friends that I wasn't looking healthy.  My face was way to shallow looking so I tried to gain weight back.  Feels wierd saying I wanted to gain weight again.  I am back up to 147 and feel alot more healthier.  I am happy in my size 10 pants.  It is a little frustrating to here others are in smaller sizes but I have to do what feels right for me.  I was tired of looking sick.  Did have a set back in August. Ended up with a bowel obstruction and had to have emergency surgery.  It seems that I had scar tissue attach itself to my liver and my bowels started wrapping around it.  I never want to go through that pain again.  It was worse than having my kids natrual birth.  It still wouldn't change anything.  I'd do it all over again.  I've never felt better, happier, and healthier.  Who knows when I'll check in again but wanted to give a quick update.  Hope everyone is as happy as I am.
