I added a comment, it's a great website! Dianne

Start weight-343 Current weight-235 Goal weight (for Plastics)-180 or 160 would be better My surgeon really doesn't see me below 150 even though I'm only 5'1"...considering age...etc. which I can live with. My weight seems to have stalled too...my own fault though I am too busy having fun I'm not tracking properly. I have gone back to Jenny Craig to help me moderate my food intake better and it seems to be helping. I also know I need to exercise more. It's one of those things I know what I need to do...I just need to do it.

Surgery weight 254 current weight 155 goal weight 130 I know where your coming from. On my one year anniversary I was down to 148. Felt good. Thought this is where I want to be after a 106 lb weight loss a year ago. On April 6th I had my tummy tuck and weighed 154 at the Dr's office. Go figure. A few weeks after the surgery I did get down to 145. But slowly gained the better I felt. It is still a struggle every day for me too. Funny, how I am still considered 'overweight' when people tell me I look just fine. I know I can do this if I 'bust my butt' I also bounce around from 148-155. Right now 155 is the highest I've been since April and.....is not acceptable for me. I know I can get lower. For me it's all about exercise and portion control. Yes, exercise, SUCKS but it's something that I have to do so I won't gain again. Portion control. I still have to weigh/measure my food out. I don't go over 8oz a meal and stick to 3-4 oz during the day at work. I snack a bit at home not on 'junk'. I'm sure you look great, and feel evern better. The compliments should keep your motivation up. Good luck to you....... !!

Thank you very much. I'm so happy you checked it out. I'm glad to get some positive feedback... the site will be linked on our local paper next week... ::nervous:: -Beth http:// meltingmama.blogspot DOT com/

Hi everyone! Just wanted to check everyone's progress at 15 months post op. Surgery weight-325 current weight-208 goal weight-180 I don't know if I will lose the last 28lbs. it seems like my weight has come to a complete halt. I do excercise weekly on average about twice a week. Everyone tells me that I look great at 208lbs being 5'9' tall. But I really want to see ONEderland. Has anyone else run into this problem....I mean come to a halt and then start loosing again. Or do you think that this is the end of the road for me? Maybe some older post ops have some advice. Thanks!
