I tried a few online calculators. My body fat is between 27 and 30. I'm gonna try a bodpod soon. Sunnyvale fitness has one.

My body fat is 33% according to the same scale I've had for 6+ years (so at my highest weight- 260lbs to now my lowest weight-147 lbs). I started at 50%. I will try to post some big pants pics.

My first goal was 160lbs. When I got there I knew I wast happy. My next goal was 155, then 150, now it's 145 and I can guess at 2lbs away that I won't be happy there. My husband does not want me to lose any more weight. He liked the 160lbs look. A normal BMI would be 136lbs. At 18 months out my mind still plays tricks on me. I still feel very heavy most days.

Shoot, got rid of the size 48 pants a long time ago. Maybe I will have to swing by goodwill or value village and live vicariously for a moment by taking a picture with me in them. :) I am size 32 now so could go camping with them, just need my sleeping bag and pillow.

It's hard to hold em and take a pic! :P

You are looking awesome!! I would kill to have your skinny arms. I will probably end up having plastics eventually on mine, but keep hoping they will shrink.

You've also got thigh gap. I never knew that "thigh gap" was a thing until recently. There are dozens of Tumblr blogs about it. How to achieve it, how to fake it, etc.

I'm sorry but there is no way in heck this girl is 26% body fat. I stick by my original estimate of 22-25%.

Agree! Go out and buy the WW scale from BBB or similar scale. It will measure your body fat % with micro currents as you stand on it. Trust me, you cannot feel anything. :)

Awe, you should have kept just 1 pair. I kept my one biggest pair for when I am feeling like I have not accomplished much. Definitely go buy a pair!

I hate to ask and feel silly googling it, but what exactly does "faking the thigh gap" mean?

And why is the thigh gap so important anyways??

I guess it is something females intuitively understand. :) I always thought love handles around the waist was a good physical measurement. Or lack of muscular definition around the body (abs, biceps, quads, etc). Must be a mars and Venus set of perspectives. :)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
