So I'm a little late in posting this picture, my 6 month surgiversary was on 8-11.  Anyhow, I'm down to 155.4 lbs, only 1.4 lbs away from a "normal" BMI (i'm 5'6") and 5.4 lbs away from my goal of 150 lbs.  Weight loss definately seems much slower, but its still coming off.

I found this before picture at work when I was packing my desk for a move.  Its from a conference I attened last year in D.C. and it really made me go "WOW"!  I hadn't realized I was that big!  Anyhow, makes for a good comparison to today and a reminder of how far I've come!

I'm reliably in a size 6 pants and even have some size 4's.  I'm just astonished because I NEVER expected to be able to fit into a size 4...I thought I'd be LUCKY to get down to a 10 or if I was really lucky to a size 8.  Very happy with my progress!  I would like a tummy tuck to have a truly flat tummy, but what I really need is a boob job...I have no boobs left...thank god for padded bras!

Stick to your plan and you WILL!  I have been pretty strict about what I eat (60-80 grams of protein and between 600-800 calories).  I excerised for about the first few months and then haven't kept up with that...I really dislike it!  Good LUCK!

You look great!  Any advice for us newbies?  As much as I love seeing pictures, I love reading what worked for you!  exercise? low/no carb? What kinds of food did you eat?  You lost an extraoridinary amount of weight in 6 months!  I hope I can do the same...
