I am from the Upper Peninsula in a town called Iron Mountain, ever heard of it? Have you had surgery yet? I have to wait til March, it seems like forever. I am excited and scared at the sametime. I am worried about the eating and getting sick if I eat too much or the wrong thing. Old habbits are hard to break but all I can do is try and learn from mistakes right. I just want to wear normal cute clothes and not be exhausted all the time. I would like to loose around 100 lbs. How about you

It is so amazing you have lost 137 pounds already, I hope mine comes off that fast. I have about 100 to loose. Do you have a lot of excess skin and will you have to have surgery to tighten up? I am hoping I won't have to.

I know where Iron Moutain is, but I've only gone as far as Marquette.

Welcome to the board......there is much to learn from these wise folks. Your concerns are things that most of us dealt with and worked through. This is a lifestyle change, but you'll figure it out. Even though we share some things, it seems we all have to find our own tricks, tips, and triggers to help us succeed. Spend this time learning all you can about your upcoming journey and hang on for the ride of your life!
