My 9 month surgery anniversary is Wednesday. Hard to believe that in that amount of time I could have had a baby. I'm just happy to still be headed in the right direction. I still worry every single day that I've stopped losing. I suppose that if I stopped where I am now, things wouldn't be so bad. My largest sized pants were 36, I'm now wearing 18's. My shirt size went from a 5X to 18/20 and some 14/16's. I haven't been this size in 15 years. My goal is to lose about 60 more pounds which puts me at 180 pounds. This is a big number, but one at which I know I look healthy. If more comes off, I'll take it

. Thanks to you all for the insightful posts. I read almost every day and learn something new every time. I've just recently become comfortable with posting here and try to offer advice when I feel I can make a difference. There's still so much to learn. (Pictures can be enlarged by clicking)

Weight in top pictures 384 on October 11, 2006. Current weight 242 on July 20, 2007.

Thank you so much! My only regret is that I waited so long to have the surgery. I lost most of my 20's and 30's to obesity.

You started right about where i did. I got down to as far as 155, but for some reason, i keep going back to 165 and stay there. I know i can lose more if i try, but feel comfy where i am. That 180 mark for you will be a breeze for you, i know how hard it is to imagine, but it's gonna happen. You're a huge success, keep doing what your doing . You look beautiful! Linda

WOW - Your pictures are amazing!!! You have done a great job with your weight. Just think back on when you thought you just couldn't loose that much - and look what 9 months had done!!! You should be so proud of your accomplishment - keep up the good work and soon you will be exactly where you want to be. It's just a matter of time. Take Care, Cindy :)
