Hi Everyone-Yep, I'm there too! I'd like to get down to 150 lbs. but I'm wondering if that's ever gonna happen! I hover between 180-185. Up, down, up, down. My appetite is up there too! Sometimes, I just want to eat all the time! I'm keeping it in check for the most part-but sometimes it gets the better of me. It depresses me too. Luckily, I didn't have any complications, and I thank God for that, but I'm also wondering if maybe I shouldn't just try to accept myself at this weight in the event that this is all I'm going to lose. My nutritionist did say when I saw her the last time back in December, that I would only lose about 5 lbs. a month tops now, and it has been about that, give or take a couple of pounds, but it sure is discouraging when you are used to losing so quickly. Congrats to all of u****ting our 1 year anniversary, as I will be on May 13 of this year! continued good luck and success to all!!!!!!! Linda
