INTRO Hi I'm Taunee

[Tishida0227]

I figured I'd say hello to everyone here. Right now the scale reads 188lbs. Back in 2015, my starting point was 355lbs. Duodenal Switch surgery was part of my story. Through that, roughly 125 pounds came off. Since then my weight has gone up and down. After my 1st son arrived, I found myself back at 279lbs. Once I got divorced, the poor eating patterns left along with him. Following the divorce, I turned to Phentermine combined with intermittent fasting for a brief stretch (3 months). The lowest number I reached was 169lbs. Skin removal surgery happened immediately after I got to that weight. Then birth control let me down badly, and 10 months later my little man was here. Bottom line, the weight from my pregnancy has me stuck and I can't seem to move past it. According to the BMI calculator, I have to reach 129lbs before I land at the high end of "normal". At 169lbs and post skin removal I wore a 00, so how I'm supposed to drop another 40lbs without winding up in my toddler's clothes is anyone's guess! Looking forward to picking up something here and finding whatever it is I need! Appreciate the welcome.

I've got to know — what's your height? Mine is 5'3, and even when I was down to 130, I still wore a 4-6. These days I'm 125 and haven't picked up anything new, though I'd guess I'm a 4. My BMI sits at 22.1. Hitting 110 would land me squarely in the middle of the healthy range on the BMI scale. A 0 or 00? I doubt I'll ever fit into those. My guess is 110 would mean a 2 — and if I ever manage to wiggle into a 0, trust me, that's getting a facebook official post.....lol
