You look fabulous!! We started at the same weight, I'm 10 months out and down to 157. How long did it take you to reach goal? And congratulations on keeping it off over 3 years later! You are an inspiration

It to me a year to hit my goal of 140. Generally, I maintain at 135-140. I gain or lose weight based on my body goals at the time. This summer, I dieted down to 131-133 because I had my HS reunion and needed to get into that dress.

How often do you work out?

16.5 pounds in two weeks is great as is a snack like cottage cheese. Maybe If I had eaten more of that, I wouldn't have gotten to my highest weight to begin with. You're on your way!

Absolutely beautiful! Thanks for sticking around & or coming back to BP to show us it's possible to lose and maintIn-years out.

You are truly an inspiration to newbies and us vets, who have not reached goal.

Wishing you continued success.

I didn't start to shed hair until a few months out. I did lose some but I have a lot hair so it was only noticeable to me. The shedding lasted for several months and then just started to slow down and eventually stop. I do remember the new hair growing back in,m. By 18 months out- it was all grown back. This picture shows my hair, it was taken around this time (Sept or Oct) in 2014.
