I need to come here more often!
Nov 08, 2008
I'm down to around 210 pounds now, for a total loss of around 155 pounds. I had a consult with a plastic surgeon this past week to see about getting some of this excess skin removed. I'm pretty sure I'm going to do it, but I've just got to find the right person and the right procedure. It'll probably be self-pay, but my mom has said she'll give me part of my inheritance to do it. My husband thinks it'll be worth it, and we can afford for me to take off from work. So....that's where I am. I still want to lose around 20-25 pounds, but it'll go really slowly. That's ok, though; I"m calling myself Super Turtle these days. I have to remind myself that slow and steady wins the race!
The Mighty CAN Fall!

I'm living proof! I havent' updated here in forever because I was "doing just fine" on my own. HA! "Doing just fine" gaining 53 pounds back! Eating right and exercise are KEY to any weight loss, whether there's been surgery or not. SO....last summer (07) when talking to a friend about needing to go to the gym, she said, "What else would you be doing?" Well, this made me think....I'd be sitting home watching tv, chatting online, or reading a book. In other words...nothing. So I started going to the gym, sproradically at first but now almost religously. WIth her encouragement I've dropped 50 pounds and am back to weighing what I weighed when I first dropped off from this site.
I'm back now, and will try to stay here more often. I'm a member of Sparkpeople.com, and that has helped me keep track of my weight loss and food intake. I see the changes Obesityhelp has made on their site, and they're super! Hope to stick around here and help others who may be struggling.
