27 Year Old Wanting to Lose Weight Before Starting a Family - New Hartford, NY

Wow! I did not realize I did not post at my one year mark! I have since had a complete "mommy makeover" - extended tummy tuck with muscle repair, breast reduction, lift and small implant and lipo to my hips, flanks ans upper back roll. Still recovering from thaf and a slow recovery it is! Starting to feel better. I am 1.8 lbs from a normal weight! I have gone from 138/139 where I had been for a month or two before surgery to 129.4 yesterday! The last ten days I have lost about ten lbs! I think I was just swollen and it has come off but yay!!! In the 120's! Nothing new to report with my sleeve. Labs look good. Still following the rules 99% of the time. Focusing on protein first, eating over 20 min only, drinking enough water, limiting sugar and carbs, exercising etc. although I have not since this surgery but for the first time in my life I want to! Haha. Extremeky grateful and satisfied with the sleeve. Best decision I have ever made!!!

Down 80.8 lbs as of Wed. 9 months out on Nov 26. Weight loss has really slowed. I weigh 146.6 lbs. I have been up and down the same 1.5 lbs the past 2-3 weeks. Frustrating! Still eating right and exercise as much as I can. Gonna try being stricter on carbs. Still eating under 1000 calories a day. Usually in 800's but I see in my tracker last week or so I was in 900's so trying to get back to 750-850. I added some new pictures. Have a few consults lined up with plastic surgeons. My upper belly bothers me a bit :( I would definitely be a medium shirt without it. Wondering if I can get lipo. I probably need a tummy tuck but I plan on having kids soonish. In a 36 DDD now vs a tight 42 DDD. Gonna need my boobs done too. They are ok but I have lost volume in the upper part and I am used to having great [RS bleep] lmao. Even at 129 in 2007 I was a tight 36 DD (as in I should have worn DDD lol) as well as when I was 12 and not ocerweight. So I am surprised with the weight loss that I lost some of the fullness because their size wasn't weight related. My back hurts a lot more now. Not sure why. Dr's goal is 144 my personal is 127.6. (Normal bmi) I really wanted to reach that by one yr (feb 26) so we could start trying to get pregnant but I doubt that will happen by then. I just bought size 8 jeans and some size 6 jeggings which are just tight jeans lol weird how I weigh more than I did in 2007 but my pants are smaller now. My fingers are smaller than ever. All my old rings that stopped fitting bc they were too small... are too big now. Grr. One is a size 4.75 lol I have child hands :( Had to buy new scrubs again. Weight loss is expensive!! Lol In a large shirt, 6/8 jeans, medium panty, 36 DDD bra, medium scrub top and in between xs and s scrub pants. Oddly enough unlike other pants that are usually tight around my belly these xs scrubs are just a little snug around my thighs. Odd. Nighty pants are s-m. I am no longer obese. Hit that mark shortly after that last post. Doing well overall.
