I think everyone is different in the way we lose weight. I think for the most part it becomes more gradual as you get closer to your goal weight. Congrats to everyone! I am always excited to read everyone's progress. As for myself. I reached my goal weight in August. I wanted to weigh 130 but now I am 106. I lost another two pounds last week. I have been eating every two hours. In small portions of course but it seems like the more I eat the more I lose. Its weird to hear people calling me skinny. Before surgery, I was at a size 14/16 pants. Now my size 3's are too big.

It's been almost a year now. I had surgery on 2-12-13. I've lost 91 lbs! I feel so much better. Haven't had the first issue, didn't lose any hair, have not been hungry, have not regretted surgery for a second. My husband is being sleeved on 1-2-14. I'm excited for him. I'm learning to enjoy buying clothes once again. People at work call me skinny sometimes. Had one person who didn't know me ask me how I stay to slim and trim. Love it!!

To all my fellow February sleevers...... I have had a really big day in the last few days. I have lost over 100lbs, no longer have a bunch of meds or need to worry that I'm going to have a stroke at any moment, and I had a Tummy Tuck done on wed to get rid of the loose skin. I will never have to worry again about getting a disgusting yeast infection in my belly rolls that stinks like rotten ass! All of this has been accomplished in 9 months! My sleeve surgery was Feb 21st and I am so proud of the accomplishments I have made. I am careful to not over eat but at the same time do not deny myself a treat. I really hope and pray that all the other sleevers have had a similar wonderful journey. Share your finest moment since ur surgery.

Hi all! I haven't been here in a while (I guess since I reached my goal weight), but I missed hearing everyone's stories and updates. As for me, my original goal was to be at 130. My weight on surgery day was 183lbs, however I am now at 109. I keep losing weight and I am not sure if its something to worry about. I don't want to get super skinny. I am 5;2"....When I was in high school I weighed 108. I am 1lb away from my high school weight. Yikes! I'm worried about the sagging skin on my thighs. Everywhere else is ok. I had surgery Feb 28, 2013. On my surgery aniversary I am planning on getting breast implants, brazilian butt lift and a thigh lift.

I feel the same

I haven't logged in in over 4 weeks because I stopped losing weight and I stopped weighing myself since I reached my 130lb goal 6 weeks ago. I created a new goal of 120. I am now 125. Losing weight very slowly but I am trying to add more workouts. I love it when people don't even recognize me. I feel like I have a new lease on life.

6 months 87 lbs down

Surgery 2/19. Just over 100lbs down. Before and after picture.

Sleeved 2/28/13
Pre-Op weight 183 (No pre-op diet)
I reached my goal weight of 130 this weekend!!! I am so excited. It is such a huge milestone. I am 5'2 1/2
I feel like I can still lose some more therefore I've set a new goal weight of 120. I don't want to be anything under 120 because I am curvy and anything under 120 will make me look too thin.

Today marks the half way point in my weight loss journey. I should accomplish my goal by Christmas. Last week, my 12 year old son couldn't keep up with me while hiking. What seemed impossible almost five months ago is coming to fruition. Who would have thought! Talk about a new lease on life. I enjoy logging into this site
every Friday (after I weigh in) to read about everybody's journey. If misery loves company, so does success stories!

Sleeved 2/27. Down 77lbs.
II set a goal for myself early on. I didn't think I went too aggressive. I weight myself regularly, but don't chart anything until after my Wednesday morning weigh-in. Wednesday just happened to be the day of the week I had my surgery.
The following is a simple Excel graph showing my target line (blue) vs actual weight (red).

My now ex husband cheating on me. She was thinner and in great shape. I was too at the time I met him but the problems between he and I made me depressed and I gained a ton of weight. Along with the weight came Acne which I never had before and my knees started to hurt. I realized I needed to get back to being the attractive me for me. I left him, had the surgery and now I am working out like I did before I met him. I am now dating a pro athlete who constantly tells me how amazing my body is and how beautiful I am. I am no longer insecure and I am glad I left my ex husband. I have a new life. P.S. I was only 183 at my biggest but that was enough for me.

Four month surgi-versary is next week. I'm down exactly 60 lbs. I put on a pair of blue jeans the other day I have not worn in 12 years. Those are my
"maybe someday" jeans. That made me feel better than watching the scale move. As many people have noted, there will be weeks you will lose inches
instead of pounds. Either way, it's a win/win!

I have lost 75% of my excess weight. I am still losing an average of 3 lbs per week. At that rate, I should reach 100% by mid July. I had my surgery on 2/28/13.
