I used to be 300 lbs.. lost over 150lbs once I had gastric bypass and was at a good weight, but was left with a lot of loose skin. After that weight loss, I got pregnant and gained a decent amount of weight back and it's been extremely difficult to lose. I take prednisone also so it makes even that much more difficult.
