All I can say is WOW! You look mahvelous!!! (In my billy crystal voice lol)

It's funny cause I'm losing VERY slowly now. Almost 9 months out and down 110lbs. Still have 13 lbs to reach the top of my normal weight range but at this point I'm losing maybe a couple lbs a month and people are still telling me to slow down or that I lost enough. I feel like I'm barely changing but they seem to think I drop a pant size over the weekend. (I wish lol) I figure I will keep losing as long as I can and just hope to eventually get down to mid normal range. Only then would I think about actively avoiding losing more.

That is so awesome! Congrats!

I really haven't set a drop dead goal for myself yet. I know I could lose a little more. I can definitely tone which is more important than wt loss at this point. I'm still losing but slowly. So if I drift down another 20lbs over the next 6 mos I think that's great. Doubt I'm doing 30lbs. If I don't lose any more I'm still ecstatic over the new me.

Ok I'm 105lbs down from my highest weight and feeling pretty good. According to my doc I should lose another 30lbs. Here's a before/after pic. Can't find any full length before pics. I intentionally took some just to have them for before/after shots and they got erased from my phone

You look fabulous! I also think what my doc wants me at will be too small. When I told her I'm pretty happy right now she laughed and said everybody feels like that because being a normal weight is new to them but years down the road I will regret not losing the rest if I choose to stop. I had my hubby snap a quick pic. Just out of the shower, no bra and a sleep shirt on cause I have some cooking to do and don't want my clothes to get dirty but it'll give u an idea of where I am. oh well shoot I can't load a pic from here. Let me start another thread lol

So your goal is a number that still has you as overweight? Is that a goal your doc set or a personal goal? Just curious cause I'm supposed to get down to midway between my normal weight range to allow for wiggle room if I gain some back. Just wondering what other docs are having people do.

That's funny. Thank goodness I don't own a clothing boutique! My surgeon warned me that many people trade the addiction of eating all the unhealthy foods with shopping addictions. At least I spend my money at the thrift stores for now. My closet is bulging with clothes! Lord help me when I finally stop losing and feel like its ok to buy new clothes.

I finally hit 100lbs down yesterday. Surgery jan 9, weight 268.6. Yesterday 168.6 exactly. My doc wants me to get to around 135 so another 34lbs to go. I took pre-surg pics but lost all the pics on my phone so I have no comparison shots to post **wait that's not true. I was 268.6 at my highest lol. Lost 40 before surgery. Down a TOTAL of 100 lbs.

I will be 6 mos out on the 9th and am sitting at 172lbs. In my head I know that number is high but honestly I don't think I would be unhappy if I didn't lose any more. I feel great. I'm wearing a 10/12 pants. I can't imagine what I will look like after losing another 27lbs to reach the top of my normal range. I'm 47 yrs old and have had 5 children. I guess I just never pictured myself looking stick thin which I think now, that would be about how I end up. Am I weird? Does anybody else have like concerns?

Yeah!!!! That's so awesome! Congrats!!

I was sleeved jan 9 and am down 95lbs. Can't wait to be able to say I've lost 100! My 6 mo appt is July 12, so that's my goal for now. Haven't really settled on a weight goal. Just going with the flow. Happy every time I can go down another clothing size. Loving my sleeve still.

I feel the same way! Love that my collarbones have reappeared!
