Ok, I went to the doctor last week, and he said, I could mantain my weight here on out. It's been 10 months since my surgery on 12/12/11 and I've lost 100 pounds. I'm in a size 8 and feeling great. I said, I still needed to lose 10 more pounds to reach the goal, that the charts say I should weigh, he said, have you ever heard of big bones?, well you have them. You are at a perfect weight for your height and age. I have never been told that before in my life. Oh, and I just have to let you all know, because it could be a concern. My husband of 21 years and I have never been so in love, it's the greatest. He didn't have to lose weight, but I've seen changes in him, to be younger, and keep up with me. So many times, we take off on this journey, and leave them behind, not us. Oh, and another thing, that is important. Shop at resale shops, I love Goodwill. I have never had so many outfits, that are brand names, like Liz, Ann Taylor, Gap, and my fav, J.Crew. I guess all the thinner women, bought them, and gained weight, now they are mine, and I can spend 50 bucks, and walk out with about 300 in new outfits. Try it, when your changing sizes from 20- 8 in 10 months, you have to look at a cheaper way, I than turn around and donate them right back, win win.

Congratulations... wow 20 to 8.....simply amazing!

You are doing great! It's all a win-win situation now. Size 8 is where I'm at. I would like to get down to 140 though. That's only 4 more lbs. But my surgeon wants me to stay where I am. This is such a hard place to be. Lovin every minute of it though.

Amazing! That's a wonderful transformation!!

Way to go! I'm hoping to go from a 22/24 to a 7/9 myself.

So happy for u!
