It's been over 5 years and 4 months since I had surgery and I've been hanging out around 167 lb for several years. Today I'm a few lb heavier because I gained several lb over the holidays, but I'm using SparkPeople to get back on track. I've always been able to keep myself in check and I'm confident I'll be back to "my normal" soon.

On Friday I got the call that the tummy-tuck will be covered! I just need to find a way to pay for the full abdominoplasty and thighplasty as well. I'm probably going to go in for a breast augmentation in the future. I want boobs for once in my life!

My boyfriend Jesse's and my 5 year anniversary is in May!

Saturday was my three year surgiversary. Still maintaining within about 10 lb or so (usually 165 but I've gone from 161 to 172) but I was 167 on the day; it fluctuates constantly. It's tons harder than it was even half a year ago.

Still a size 10, some 8s, two VERY stretchy 6s. Small and medium on top. I'm still wearing a lot of the same clothes I wore a year out, which is a nice feeling.

Wow, it's been over a year and a half since I logged in here. I'm doing very well. My boyfriend and my two year anniversary is in May and we are just awesome. I've been wavering between the same 15 to 20 so lbs for the last two years -- my lowest was this summer, I was 155 for a second, and my highest was 174 but now I'm 165 and I've been that weight pretty steadily throughout. I wear mostly medium size clothes, 8 or 10 on bottoms. This will be the third year where I'm wearing the same clothes. It's astonishing. I've never been able to wear the same clothes the next year. It's awesome. I considered surgery to remove my abdominal and thigh skin recently but I chickened out. I'm going to wait until I'm 5 years out and if I'm around the same weight as I am now I'll think about it again.

So basically, feeling great :) Three years out September 4th.

I see my surgeon later today. On my scale I'm three pounds away from my surgeon's and my initial goal, and I'm no longer considered obese BMI-wise. I'm not sure where to go from here. I know I should just talk to him and he'll help me, but seriously, I'm already considering modifying my goal. I still love wearing 12s but now I can also wear some 10s and it feels so, so good. I want to keep going. I still don't have another goal weight but maybe I could just go by 5 lb increments, or by clothing size? I don't know what it's like any further down the scale from here. Last time I was this weight I was 12 and also a couple of inches shorter.

As of this morning I've lost 150 lb! I'm 191 and feeling GREAT! I have a boyfriend now too! Life is good.

Hey guys :) I've only lost 6 lb in the last month, but it's definitely been a learning experience. I've been snacking on far too many carbs and not getting off my ass enough, and I'm sure it's what contributed to the slow loss this month. But! I've lost, damn it, so that's the important part. I'm three pounds away from onederland and I'm psyched. I don't think I've been under 200 since middle school over ten years ago.

I can definitely see a lot of plastics in my future, particularly in the boobs and pannus because it is GROSS. If I get the balls up to do it I might take pictures of the horror :) I can't believe I've lost almost 140 lb!! OMG seriously!! I've lost an average size woman!

I joined a gym yesterday and met with a personal trainer today. I'm excited. This will be the best summer ever, I'm sure of it. I won't look gorgeous in a swimsuit, but I'll look a hell of a lot better than I did last year and the year before and the year before etc! And I'll be able to run around and sleep in the same building as others without fear of keeping them awake due to snoring! BYE BYE SLEEP APNEA!!

I just realized a year and two days ago I sent my application in to the Obesity Consult Center at Tufts Medical Center. WOW! I was around 340 and now I'm about 140 lb down! WTF!! Boggles my mind!

Guys, I need HELP with makeup! I've never, ever worn it and have no clue what colors to wear or how to wear it. I refuse to wear mascara, I hate it. The simpler the better. I'm thinking purple or green shades? HELP? C'mon, help me be a girl, girls!! :)

Officially lost 115lb all together, 100 lb since surgery :) I now weigh what I got down to in junior year of high school (like, 6 years ago?). Five year high school reunion is this summer/fall and I can't wait because I'll definitely look awesome for it!!

So close to onederland I can taste it!!

I'M NO LONGER MORBIDLY OBESE!! I'm just plain obese :) lol

I've officially lost 100 lb!! My four month follow up with my surgeon is Thursday, I'm so happy!
