My dr. would like me to get down to 130 just to help with regain/maintenance.  I'm listening to him because he seems to know what he's doing, although I have no idea where the weight will come from (if not skin) at this point.

I did another body comp last night and am down to 20.9% body fat.

I can NOT believe this is me.  I have size 4 pants in my closet.  I own boots.  I go to exercise classes and kick booty.  My arms are amazing (other than the batwings).

If you are thinking about having WLS, I really encourage you to do it.  This has been a really powerful and empowering experience.  I'm a bit intimidated at the idea of venturing into maintenance because I feel like I know how to eat for weight loss (even though I've been hanging out around 135 for a while now--lowest was 133.8, but I think I was dehydrated).  But maintenance is kind of scary. 

Fortunately, I have a great support group and plenty of vets to help me, plus a kick-ass RD. :)

Also, in my pics there's a collage of all 10 months of progress. :)
