I'm almost 2 years out from surgery and hit my first goal of 185 a year ago. I've been bouncing around 185 for a year and trying everything I could to get in the 170s to my final goal of 173. I thought my body just wanted to be 185 and there was nothing I could do to change that (I'm 5'10"ish). Even with plastic surgery, I didn't lose anything... well, I lost 4 pounds of skin and tissue, but got breast implants and a butt flap implant, so I think the difference was about 0.

Well... the scale is finally moving!! I've gone back to the basics of what I was eating about a month or so out of surgery and doing high intensity interval training 3 times a week. I also had a stomach virus that helped take off the first few pounds. Today I'm 179!!! Going to push really hard to try to make it to 175 by Christmas.

I'm also losing out of all my size 12 jeans and large tops are looking kinda baggy. I love my sleeve!

Congratulations to you!

what is a butt flap implant?

A butt flap implant is where they take the fat that is removed during the lower body lift and they form it and fit it into the butt to make it more rounded. It's not as painful as a silicone butt implant, but it doesn't cover as much area. I really like mine.

Only missed my goal by one day!! Merry Christmas to me! Finally met my original goal of 175.
