I had my one year follow-up and my surgeon upon hearing that weight loss has stalled and slowed said that I might be done losing weight, but for maybe another few pounds or so, He is happy with me. He doesn't want me eating too little trying to force weight loss because this may be where my body is happy. I suppose I could live being a bit overweight according to the charts. I'm not sure. I know what he means about not starving myself and trying to force the issue. That could backfire in some some yo-yo stuff that I'd rather not experience.

Today I am starting a strict Vitamin and Protein regimen. I already started with the Vitamins last week. Labs were normal, but my cholesterol is still way up there. I have been hit or miss on both protein and vitamins. Turns out that my levels were fine. D was a little low, but still.

I think I will relax, but stay with what I'm supposed to be doing, i.e. getting that protein in.

Exactly 100 pounds lost.

Well there's 8 to 10lbs for ya....

Hallelujah!

I will PM You my personal address so you can send me my fee of 42 box tops of sugary cereal and one point three million peso's (lira are also acceptable)

Mamma mia! How will I ever afford all that cereal?

I wouldn't throw in the towel just yet. Your body is just resting getting ready to shed a little bit more.....

You already look like one sexy lady and you have lost 100 lbs....

I've been at plateau's here and there and then a lb or 2 will drop off....it's frustrating because I want it now, not later, now....LOL

Wow love your success story. Remember your doc doesn't really know, it's his educated guess.....

True. I did lose a couple more. It's really slow going though.

I had surgery August 2011, and I am still losing. It is slow, but it is happening. I am at the point that I'm not sure if I still want to continue losing because as I lose now, I am seeing more loose skin.

Thanks, Iggy, for the link. My results were: BMI 27.16 BMR 1532.1 Waist to Hip Ratio 0.73 Body Fat Percentage 27.48

This is a little different than what I get other places. The BMI and body fat percentage is showing higher, and the BMR is slightly lower than what I see on my scale that has the electric pulse, but the difference really isn't that great.

I am not too worried about the BMI saying I'm overweight. I don't necessarily agree with that.

Thank you Iggy....

My BMR is 1332.4

my body fat is 26.11 which is acceptable

My Waist to hip is .86 which is high risk

Now how do I adjust for the excess skin I have?

I must of ate alot of those girl scout cookies to gain weight then. LOL

I get the feeling I'm in the same boat. I'm going to increase my exercise and try and lower my calories. I really want to lose these last 20 pounds or so. I know I have about 10 pounds of loose skin that will be coming off (soon hopefully) but overall, I'm really happy where I am. I can shop at normal stores, wear normal clothes, and I'm healthy.

Can't ask for much more than that!
