Well, it will be 2 years in October, anyway!. I've maintaned the same weight for over a year now (155 lbs) and really have no issues at all anymore. The only thing I've noticed that's different is that for the first year I could have gone with no food at all - I never cared if I ate ever again. Now I'm hungry alllll the time - or at least every 2 hours or so.

However, with that said. Still 4-5 bites of "whatever" completely satisfy me. And my lifestyle is so freaking active that I'm constantly burning calories. August in particular is active because I participate in a fund-raiser Hike-A-Thon and so far this month I've hiked over 50 miles with over 10,000' in elevation gains.

I feel like a success story. Right now I'm scheduled for my skin removal surgery on September 10th. Doing my thighs, stomach, and lifting up the girls back where they belong (but not "enhancing"). If I get some kind of teaching job this fall, though, I'll have to reschedule.

Best Wishes,

Soup-a-Woman

edited to say: I started at 305 lbs, so I've lost and kept off 150 lbs.

Congratulations on your hard earned success story, and thanks for sharing.

I would call you a success. I would love to be in your shoes at that point! Congratulations to you!

This is fantastic! Thanks for sharing. I will be 1 year in October and am curious as to how the years after will be. It's all about mindful eating habits.

What an amazing journey. Congrats!
