How close to goal are you?

Congratulations on losing the nearly 80 pounds! It sounds like you might need a small fill to get the scales moving to lose the last 35. Are you tracking your caloric intake? exercise?

I've always heard to expect the last pounds to be very hard, so I guess this is what they meant...who are "they" anyway? LOL!

Remember this when you are making up your mind about fills....a lot of people have had that last little bit added, only to be overfilled and caused a cascade of bad problems....if they had been more patient, they would have eventually lost the weight, and not had the problems.

I am sure not intending to offend...I know it is so hard to be patient and it's not our strong point. But, I do think it is the most reasonable choice, given the possible problems that could come of pushing our luck.

I agree with that, I dont think its offensive. I dont think however tight you get your body is going to let go of the last bit of weight easily, for some people maybe, but generally the last bit is hard to lose.

I have under 30lb to go too and its v-e-r-y slow. But at this weight, most people are light enough to consider some really heavy duty cardio, I'm running regularly and it really does make a difference. Step up your exercise routine and really reaffirm your commitment to keeping the weight moving off, consider a fill only if you think your truly need it, not simply to make the weightloss faster.

You will get there and in the meantime, you must be feeling FABULOUS. You must be enjoying so many of the rewards and benefits of being normal weight already, so take heart in that.

Just a thought: I uderstand that during plastic surgery/revision/tummy tuck, about 20-25 lbs of excess skin can be removed. Could that last bit of weight be mostly excess skin?

Your loss so far is inspirational, Bravo!

I just had a Tummy Tuck, and I can say that *I* lost roughly 2-3lbs in skin, and tissue. Nowhere near 20-25lbs. And they took a lot of skin (from about 2cm above my belly button to the pubic line, and hip to hip)

The OP; My last 30lbs I had actually stopped trying to lose weight (I was comfy at 160lbs). I upped my calories slightly, and vola! It was slowish, but I guess I wasn't sweating on it, and didn't really take too much notice.

Maybe upping the exercise would help get rid of the last 35lbs?
