10 months post-op update! 95 pounds down, 3 lbs to go to get to original goal, 8 pounds to get to new goal. I know it's not a great pic, but I seriously need to invest in a full length mirror (now that I don't hate looking at myself--ha!). Oh, and excuse my mess!!!

@@Jen35, our stats are very similar, but I definitely have to offer you congratulations on all of your success. I'm loving your profile pic, you are so pretty! It feels great, huh? Despite how surreal all of this is. However, I do feel you with the stomach skin. I too have it and I am planning on having a tummy tuck next summer. My doctor wanted me to wait 18 months. However, since I am a teacher, I'm just going to wait until the summer after my 18 months are up. And YES, let's definitely keep in touch with our weight training and see what's working!

Thank you @@Anababy, I appreciate it!!!

Awww, thanks for the compliment:)

I would like a tummy tuck but not sure if the insurance will cover it, so it may be a while before I can get that through. It may be about the same time! I don't like the idea of another surgery but after all this work, I would like this skin gone. But even if I don't get it, I'm still so much better off than I was 90+ pounds heavier.

I agree @@Jen35! Even if i was not able to go through with the surgery, I am very happy with the way I look. The extra skin from my stomach is not that bad, and nobody knows it's there but me.
