24 /or 2 years out Happy Rebirth to me!!!!! I am still 184 pounds!

December 30, 2006

Well it has been two and a half years.  My weight is pretty much stable; I weigh between 185-190 lbs.  I wear a size12 (most of the time).  I exercise at least three times a week and eat pretty well.  2-3 veggies, 2-2 fruits, at least 60 grams of protein, 2-3 servings of dairy (yogurt and cottage cheese) and I take my vitamins, this is my usual regimen.  However, I do have my bad days.  I am finding it easy, with the above plan to maintain my weight.  What I mean is that it does not feel like work.  But, when I attempt to get under that 185, it is work.  I actually feel like I am on a diet, and it drive me crazy.  I would like to weigh 150-155 lbs., so I would roughly like to loose about 30 more pounds, if I get there great, if not I am just fine.

I would like reconstructive surgery.  I need a tummy tuck and a lower body lift.  Goodness, my thighs are pretty ugly.  I figure with the reconstructive surgery, I could drop another 10-15lbs.  So hey, I just might make my goal weight.  Nonetheless, I find that as time goes by, I am less caught up with the numbers; I actually make it more than a day or so without weighing in!!!!!

 Good luck, and god bless those of you who are starting their journey.
