I ate beef jerky and nuts on my road trip to DC the last 2 days.... I hear you on the salt.

Hi everybody! I got a little see saw action going on, up 1 down 1, up 2 down 2 etc, etc. I really need to focus more, but dang I really did like those pork rinds, but ooh, the salt! No wonder I'm so bouncy, bouncy. 
Well at least I stayed within range, I might have put myself in a quasi maintenance state, oops! 
Part of me kinda likes it here, but I really have to focus a lot more to get to goal, 20lbs more. 
My stats so far:
High weight 366
Last week 176
This week 176
Next goal 150's & in the green of a healthy bmi. 
No one surgery is better than the other, what works for one may not work for another.

I did my first consultation with him via photos and the phone... I didn't actually meet him until after I had booked my surgery. In many ways it is less intimidating, and we had more of a conversation.... Good Luck!

I need to get my late night snacking under control. I'm going to start tonight no extra eating.
I have been thinking about starting my plastic surgeon search even though I am still 20 pounds from my goal. After being given some great advice I sent my information and pictures to Dr Michaels for a virtual consultation today. Yay! Leah, his patient advisor said they will call to set up a time for us to talk some time this week. I plan to talk to some surgeons closer to home, but with all the great things I have heard about Dr Michaels I wanted to meet him also. I am hopeful.
Plus, I have wrangled my stress eating some. At least I have lost what I put on last week.

Wow, way to go with the BMI no longer at 50+. You should be really proud of yourself. That's a great accomplishment. You have come a long way from your starting weight. That's no small feat. Be sure to pat yourself on the back and take time to appreciate where you are now with the sacrifices it took while at the same time preparing for the continued future advances.
What do you contribute most of your success to? Has it been primarily because of your surgery (taking full advantage of the process), the eating (you have figured out what foods work for you) or have you found the perfect exercise program (Insanity, P90X, Cise, Chair-A-Cise) which works for you?
I wish you much success on reaching your next goal of being your high school weight. You can do it. Much success.
