10/18/2007 Update:  Wow!  It has been a year already.  As of this morning I weighed in at 109.6.  That is down from 111.4 on average. I am trying to maintain right around 110.  I am wearing all size 2's now.  I am allowing myself more "splurges" and just reigning it in when I gain a lb or two.  It is weird to think that I weighed 184lbs two years go.  Here I am 75lbs lighter and can't imagine myself that big.  I find that I am harder on myself now more than ever.  I don't see the person on the outside that everyone else sees.  I am hoping that my self-image will change as time goes by.  But they say once you have been "fat" you always see yourself with "fat eyes".  I certainly hope that is not the case.  Well, one year of maintenance down and a lifetime to go. CHEERS!!!!

10/18/2006  Update: I am sad.  I just found out that I am only 5'3".  After all of this time that I thought I was 5'4".  However, I am now down to 113-114.  I am wearing size 2's and 4's obviously depending on the brand.  I am feeling better about my appearance and actually find myself wanting to wear figure hugging clothes.  The down side to this weight loss.....boobies have shrunk. 

I have yo-yo dieted since I was 18.  My maximum weight pre-pregnancy was 182 at age 24.  I had gained almost 50lbs in 2 yrs.  I managed to lose it by going to a weight dr and with the help of Phentermine and watching my diet I managed to get down to 117 in about 8 months.  Since then I have yo-yoed up and down with my weight.  I have a 10 1/2 month old little girl and prior to getting pregnant with her I weighed 172.  I only gained 12lbs during my pregnancy so my highest weight to date has been 184.  I dropped down to 156 by this past January.  Then one day while I was grocery shopping I thought I need to buy stuff for lunch so why don't I just buy Lean Cuisines and Healthy Choice.  They are low cal, low fat and it will be much more variety than sandwich stuff.  Anyway, long story longer, I am now down to 125 and am primarily in the weight management mode, although I wouldn't mind losing a couple of more lbs.  BTW:  I am 34 yrs old and 5'3" tall with a small frame.  If you have read this far, thanks.
