Hi Everyone!

It's been awhile, hope everyone is doing well.

It is too darn cold here today for my usual pictures,
I'm not getting naked for anyone when the temperature goes under 20 C or 70 F, no way, no how.

So this time, I have only included a close up of my before and after face. 
No makeup, just me, so that you can see if I am aging or not.

Monthly Stats:

Month 1  26.1 lbs lost     -     5.25 inches lost     -     BMI down 3.1
Month 2    8.6 lbs lost     -     17.5 inches lost     -     BMI down 1.2
Month 3    9.0 lbs lost     -     5.00 inches lost     -     BMI down 1.2
Month 4    8.6 lbs lost     -     4.25 inches lost     -     BMI down 1.2
Month 5    7.6 lbs lost     -     7.75 inches lost     -     BMI down 1.0
Month 6    5.0 lbs lots     -     3.25 inches lost     -     BMI down 0.7
Month 7    3.2 lbs lots     -     6.00 inches lost     -     BMI down 0.5

It is now seven months since my surgery. I have now lost 68.2 lbs !!

Current Stats:

-  Weight:  161.8 lbs,  down 68.2 lbs in seven months  
-  Total inches lost in 8 places:  49 inches in seven months
-  BMI :  21.9,  down 8.9 in seven months
  
I am only 6.8 lbs from my personal goal and I have now reached my surgeons goal for me,
which was a BMI of 22!  

I feel good!  I am really pleased with how things have gone so far. 
Two people have told me I have lost enough and to stop losing. 
I am very close to goal, so I am going to go to 155 lbs.  

From there I had planned to very slowly go down to my vanity goal of 140 lbs. 
However, I need to find out if I am starting to look old. 
If so, I am done at 155, and I will get plastics or lypo later to remove
my stubborn belly bump and thighs. 
If I am not looking old, then I will continue to
lose down to 140- 145 lbs and try to get those stubborn areas off with more weight loss.
