Thank you for the kind words, I love this board - I only wish I'd had the support a bit earlier in my journey :ohmy: I have actually come to enjoy exercise but unfortunately had a car accident a year ago that has kept me from working out the way I would like. I love your suggestions for different things to try once I'm back to 100% again. I forget that there's more to do than just log the miles on the treadmill or stairmaster. I know the reconstructive surgery is coming soon but I definitely need to do my research. This site appears to be a good resource in that department. I don't know when I should meet with a surgeon, do I go now or wait to hit my official goal first. The questions never end...

Hello to all my fellow banders... I had my surgery on 12/13/05 and on today, my 3 year anniversary, I have officially lost 180 lbs. It has been a long, sometimes difficult road but I'm finding that this last stretch to my goal weight has been the hardest. Has anyone else faced this same part of the battle? I know I should be happy with my success so far but all I can focus on now is my current struggle. I need any hints, advice, reminders and/or words of encouragement anyone can offer. Thank you!
