One year ago, almost to goal

One year ago yesterday (3/14/03)I had this surgery, but I am still not at goal, seems like im stuck at 175. I have hit my size goal, wanted to be a size 14 again, and am actually a 12, but I still weigh 173, have lost 120 lbs. Everyone says I look like around 140 but Im not, kinda wish I was, but hit a plateau a couple of months ago and cant seem to get off of it. Actually I feel this whole thing was a total success. But want the other 30 lbs gone. Any ideas?

Wow Debra, Your weight loss has been fantastic, let me say first. And second, I know how hard it is to loose those last few pounds. I know it has not been easy for me!! However I've gone back to the low carb and no carb thing to get rid of the last few pounds. If you don't feel like dieting again, do you excercise? Are you getting in all your water? I know that these last few months I have slowed down but I have also been eating "high carbs", not getting in enough water, and little loose on the exercise. I'm 3 pounds away from goal and ready to hop on the protein train. Do you want to join me? Best Wishes, Heather 3/12/03 280/143/140
