Afternoon LW's!!!! I was VERY Happy when I got on the scales this morning!! Yesterday morning I was extremely upset when the scales read 123. I haven't seen that number in a long time!!!

My flattened boobs, saggy thighs and arms are staying as is. I was thrilled to be able to do the TT and facelift. Those bothered me the most.

I have done well so far but I know that I have to stay vigilant forever. It is great to see someone like yourself who has sustained your weight loss for the long term.
